Water supply to the ice maker is freezing up,how can it be fixed?

Hi

Over time the inlet valve becomes partially plugged, reducing the outlet pressure and reducing the water flow rate into the icemaker. If the flow rate is too low then the water will gradually freeze in the tube until it becomes blocked entirely. Many times low water pressure will cause this. You can perform a taste. Get a piece of tubing and attach it to the inlet valve. Run this piece to a container and see if you get any water while the power is off to the valve. You might have a valve that is not shutting completely off. Hard water might cause this. Killing the power to the valve will make the valve inoperable. Actually the purpose of killing the power is to see if the valve is allowing water to bypass even when there is no signal from the switch to do so.Bad inlet valve could be the possibility. So it needs to be ordered and replaced because the valve isn't sealing off properly and it's causing the water to trickle through or drip through the fill tube sometimes, then it freezes before it reaches the icemaker and over time it will clog up the fill tube completely.
