Problem
Water over filling ice maker and freezing it up.
Tools
1/4" nut driver and pliers along with a work light.
Repair & Advice
Water was over filling ice cube mold and actually damaged ice maker itself. Ended up replacing the icemaker too,along with the valve. A little difficult to get at the valve underneath the front of this large unit. Ice maker now seems to be working perfectly.
