My ice maker constantly drips water from the tray into the ice bucket and I get a box of ice after a day. I have checked the water valve and disconnected it during it cycles. .. It lets the water into the tray and than shuts off, it doesnt drip once the valve shuts off. I have reduced the screw for the size of the cube to make the cube smaller, no help. It's like it lets too much water into the tray and it over fills the tray..
Can you take the tray section apart? I see 3 small screws under the tray but I'm hesitant to remove them. Anyone have a diagram on how to disassembly the tray?
 
dripping as in overfilling the ice tray or dripping as in not freezing the cubes solid before dumping them in the tray?
 
I am having the same problem, it doesn't freeze the cubes, it cycles dumps the water in ice bin and keeps cycling until ice bin is one big block of ice.
 
My ice maker make cubes perfect, but it drips water into the tray during the process. Like the tray gets overfilled. Machine is level, water valve shuts off and doesn't drip.
Very confused, after 2 days I have a block of ice!
 
Check the water supply hose as it enters the cube tray. Mine was leaking there and causing the same problem.
 
Thanks can you tell me the procedure you did to check the hose and find the problem?
 
I'm thinking the valve is bad and not shutting off fully. I haven't taken one apart but may it has dirt in it the is not allowing it to close properly. Are you with the SeaRay group this week I would think someone in that group would know how to check it out.
 
On P. 40 here, there is an exploded view of at least a U-line icemaker unit including all tray -related parts:

Same as Dave above , I would have guessed perhaps since you can clearly hear the water supply solenoid valve was being shut off OK by the water switch, the seating/sealing surface of that valve has been compromised for slight persistent leak. However, you note you are convinced it is not leaking at all from the supply solenoid valve once it shuts off. That would make me wonder if the tray has cracked or otherwise has developed a small leak.

Supposedly there is a water level adjustment, but it sounds like you have already reduced that setting to no avail.
 
I have taken the hose off the valve and the valve shuts off and no water drips from the valve. The above link from sandy doesn't bring me anywhere? I'm looking for instructions on how to take the ice maker cube tray apart . That may be where I'm leaking from , a cracked tray or a leaking hose.

Dave I did not go on the sea ray trip, having canvas work done this week.
 
Can't wait to see it when it's done good luck!
I'm in Germany for the night and heading home in the AM I will call you when I get a moment.
From pictures on Facebook it looks like the group is having a great time!

Very sorry, somehow when I was posting the previous response this link was dropped:
http://www.u-line.com/media/downloads/service/41921_Service_Manual.pdf (P.40. it's just a parts diagram but you can see how it's put together.)
 
Hope it helps. Kindly let us know if you find the cause for the issue so others might check for that in the future.
