I have received second-hand a relatively new Kenmore fridge, model "22",
side-by-side with auto-ice maker and water dispenser on the freezer door.
Unknown model year, I'd say maybe 5-6 years old. Previous owner says he had
no problems with it at all.

At first my problem was the icemaker overflowing. I turned off the water
behind the fridge until I could look at it. I figured either the tray had
water in it already, or the timer was askew. So I removed the icemaker
housing and cleaned it out, re-inserted it, and plugged it all back in.

I also ran the water dispenser, to find a new surprise. The water flow
doesn't stop, it just keeps coming out. The motor does quit running when I
stop pressing the dispenser so the water flows out as if by gravity. It
actually stops for a split-second and then comes out again. I let it run a
long time to see if a reservoir was built up somewhere, but it keeps coming
out until I turn off the water supply valve. The water comes from the wall,
goes through a brand new filter and then into the fridge. What's strange is
it wasn't doing this before.

Could something have been damaged in the move? If so what should I check
first? I have no reason to not believe the previous owner's claim of good
operation. I can't really fix the icemaker while the front door is spewing
water so I have to tackle this one first.

Thank you,
