Kenmore 10658902802 side-by-side water overflowing from ice maker

Kenmore 10658902802 side-by-side water overflowing from ice maker For the past year our ice maker has been making icicles and dripping water on the food in the freezer. I just took the ice maker out and allowed it to defrost and put it back in. The same problem has returned. Any ideas on how to fix this?

"Water Inlet Valve

The water inlet valve is an electrically-controlled valve that opens to supply water to the dispenser and ice maker. If the water inlet valve is defective, or if it has insufficient pressure, it won’t allow water to flow through. As a result, the ice maker won’t make ice. The valve requires at least 20 psi to function properly. Make sure that the water pressure to the valve is at least 20 psi. If the water pressure is sufficient, use a multimeter to check for power to the water inlet valve. If the water inlet valve has sufficient pressure and is getting power, but the ice maker won’t fill with water to make ice, replace the water inlet valve.

Here’s a video on how to test it and the correct part for your model:

UPDATE 6/20

You can generally tell if you water pressure is to low by checking your washing machine. If there is a slow drip into the tub, the pressure is to low. (nice tell)"
