maytag ice maker will not shut-off

[Sully]

I have a maytag refrigerator model msd2454gr side by side. water to the ice make will not shut off with the switch (up position)in the OFF position. As you know when the other door(right side) is open no water will be given out. So when you close door the water is not OFF- it runs water everywhere.
I have turned the water off to refrigerator.

How to fix?

Icemaker problem

Power to the water valve is controlled internally by the icemaker 'module'. If it isn't shutting the fill off (but the fill does stop when the door is opened), I can't think of anything besides a problem in that module. The only other possibility would be a failed water valve but in that case water should not stop flowing just because the door was opened.

Just replacing the module for the icemaker is seldom time and cost affective. In most cases if it was the problem replacing the whole icemaker would usually be done.
