Answer 1

I'm sure you have answered your own question.

Do you really need ice? Get some ice trays and save money rather than spending heeaaaps on repairs.

Answer 2

check the copper line thats connected to the frige thats water making your ice just replace it from from any hardware store

Answer 3

follow the line to make sure it is not leaking from the tubing going into the fridge

Answer 4

Throw that icemaker away.They only last about 5yrs and take way more room than trays(you can ger a new icemaker for a little under $100 and they are easy to change out but don't last)

Answer 5

Is it running....hahaha, sounds like your fridge isnt cooling enough. Is your freezer over frosted? if so, try dethawing it, and it shouldnt leak after that. Sometimes when it is overfrosted it messes with the temp

Answer 6

Maybe the water line to ice maker is leaking.  Check the connections.

Answer 7

The ice maker is filled from a tube that comes from the water valve. It sounds like the tube has slipped back some and part of the water is going into the ice maker and part is hitting the edge and flowing into the pan underneath the refrigerator which is more than likely overflowing. You may be able to fix this yourself. If you look at the back edge of the ice maker you will see the tube and valley in which the water flows into. Make sure the tube is positioned into the ice maker correctly. Good luck and I hope this was helpful.

Answer 8

Well Duh! the Ice maker is broken!  Call a repair man! Or woman!
