The ice maker fill tube in the back of the freezer, freezes after making a cycle or two of ice cubes.
changed the main water inlet valve also the ice maker, checked the water pressure to the ice maker fill tube (50 psi). On the cabinet diagram part is #24 discounted. Thanks Ricky

Hello
There are no service bulletins on this model for the inlet tube freezing. When you have the inlet, tube freezing, and you do not have an inlet tube heater, you have low water pressure velocity through the tube causing the water to freeze. There are two valves on this unit a primary valve WPW10498990 and a Secondary dual water inlet valve for the icemaker and dispenser WP2188785 . Have you replaced both valves? Also, the water filter is in series and if it is partially plugged can cause low water pressure. Look at the amount of water in the ice maker after it goes through the harvest cycle. It should have approximately 1/2 inch of water across all fingers. I always start from the saddle valve in the basement and work forward. Matt Ace technician
