Hi,
I have bought from you before and am pleased with your company. With that being said I now have a problem with my refrigerator. I had no lights on the front in the dispenser area. The fridge would then every so often shoot water out of the icemaker and leak out. I shut the water off. I took apart the front and the power control board (back one had a blown 7amp fuse. I replaced the power control board. It didn't appear to be burnt anywhere, I also took out the front pc control board, nothing burnt, I reinstalled this. The lights remain on now with the new power board but when you get water out the front the icemaker also tries to fill at the same time, overflowing. I took out the icemaker and tested the water inlet switches, all good, I then tried the water dispenser without the icemaker in. Same problem water out both. I now have took apart the water inlet switches and they both have continuitity so both water inlet switches seem ok at least electrically. I am thinking maybe the dual outlet water inlet switch is bad mechanically or possibly the front pc control board but then again nothing is burnt.

ANSWER Hello Bill. Based on the information you provided, the diode 240567001 is bad on the unit. It is located in the wiring harness going to the water valve on the unit. It will cause the issue you are having with the water coming out on the unit.
