I'm afraid that is an incorrect statement when it comes to appliance water valves.
Their internal diaphragm requires a minimum water pressure behind it to keep it closed
fully. Most appliance water valves require
at least 20 psi water pressure to them
to function properly.

I check what you mentioned and earlier today

How did you check the water supply's saddle valve or does it use a regular household
plumbing tap?
Use of a self-piercing saddle valve is by far the most frequent cause of your symptom
which is why most manufacturers specifically state not to use them in their product
installation instructions.

I assume the valve spring plunger assembly is built inside that valve part too?

It comes fully assembled, yes.

I think this may be the case.

It's definitely one possibility. Good luck!
