Exclamation Model number incorrect

I'm afraid that is not a proper model number, it looks to be missing at least several numbers in the middle of it. Please double check it so we can find out which Whirlpool appliance design you're dealing with.

You can find tips for locating the model and serial number identification tag on your appliances in the 'Repair Parts' section of my web site linked at the bottom of this message.

The icemaker should not refill if it doesn't go through the harvest stage to dump the cubes. It shouldn't be able to go past the harvest stage without the cubes being removed from the ice mold.

Are you sure the ice mold is not just overfilling at times instead missing a harvest cycle as you claim???

The only way I can see an icemaker actually "missing" a harvest and refilling afterwards is if the icemaker was internally defective. I've never heard of one being defective in that way and it only being intermittent.

So it is overfilling from the get-go and NOT filling again with ice already in the mold, causing it to overflow???

The ice maker will do what it wants at times it will do boths things over fill and not dumping the ice and over filing too. do you have any idea what the problem is is it the ice maker or the water valve?

No I don't.

Just overfilling could be caused by several things. Filling again without first dumping the cubes couldn't possibly be anywhere else other than in the icemaker itself although I don't see how such a thing could be intermittent as you stated.
