My Maytag MFI2269VEM10 - water goes to ice maker when dispensing water. I’ve noticed every time, right after I dispense water from the door fridge, water then shoots into the ice maker. Eventually the water overflows the ice maker and leaked out of the dispenser.

I think I’ve narrowed it down to a valve or a diode? Any ideas would be appreciated.

I don't see a diode in your wiring diagram, so it must be the water inlet valve itself causing this problem.

Here's the water inlet valve for your model(There is a video that shows you how to access the water inlet valve inside the refrigerator section):
