Kenmore Elite Refrigerator (795.72053.110) - when ice maker goes to fill water sprays out dispenser onto floor.  It seems that the water meant for the ice-maker is going onto the floor from the water dispenser.  This is the model with the "in-door" ice maker.  The water dispenser works fine.  What do I need to look at or fix?  Seems like it is whatever determines the direction of the water.

When the ice maker goes into fill mode and dispense's water is it coming out of the tube in the door or coming out of the ice chute? if it's coming out of the chute i would check the fill tube going into the ice maker and make sure it's going into the fill cup . Or the water line inside the door may be broke and when it goes into fill it might be spilling out inside the machine. a good sign of that is to remove the ice maker and auger assembly and see if ice slabs behind it .
