The water tubing is opened by means of a solenoid valve. Chances are, it is
the culprit. It is an electromagnetic thing and may have a broken spring or
dead magnet.



That's true it could be, but they usually fail closed where they will
not let any water in. Way to check is to attach a voltmeter to the
solenoid terminals and check the voltage as the unit goes through a
fill cycle. It the voltage comes up and then does not drop off after
the appropriate time, the solenoid valve is doing what it is told to
do, that is, stay open.

Do a search for Ice maker repair and browse around. you will find
some very good diagnostic tools to determine whether it is your
solonoid valve or your timer/motor. Both are easily replaced.
