The WIV or the Water Inlet Valve needs a minimum pressure of 20 psi to shut off completely. If the water pressure gets too low and is unable to attain that said mark, the valve may fail to shut completely, once the power is put off. This will leave the valve partially open causing water to leak into the ice maker, resulting it to overflow.

Faulty assembly of the ice maker
