I have a whirlpool fringe model ed25qfxhw01 and the water shoot for the ice maker keeps freezing up with ice.
Can the problem be the [FONT='Arial','sans-serif']Water inlet valve?[/FONT]

look and see if the flap is closing in the dispenser area, where the ice comes through to your glass. if not, the little inertia motor is the problem. tom

i am sorry, i was thinking the dispenser area. now i understand what you are talking about. yes, the water valve is leaking a small amount of water, and it is freezing up where the water fill tube, drops the water into the icemaker. you also want to be sure where the tube goes into the freezer section, on the outside, that it is sealing well. if air gets in there, the same condition will occur. tom
