Default To much water in ice dispencer
Brand: Kenmore
Model Number: 1069552851
Age: 5 - 10 years

the ice maker over flows when refilling, when it freezes there is a solid sheet of ice
over the cubes leaving no seperation between them. when the ice maker tries to dump the cubes it doesn't have enough power at that point to dispence the cubes do to the sheet of ice. I replaced the inlet valve but still the same thing.
the ice maker it self seems to be working properly. any ideas?

thanks

lannie

The water fill adjustment screw will change the fill volumes by changing the fill time. One half to one full turn usually ( approx ) is equal to 20cc ( 0.68oz ) to 40 cc. The correct fill is usually 130 to 150 cc ( 4.5 to 5.0 oz ). When a water valve is replaced the fill volumes must be re-checked!! Look on your ice maker for this adjustment. You may have to remove the plastic cover.
