My side-by-side Conquest whirpool fridge is not making ice. The problem happened once when it was a little over a year old. Just happened again. The water that comes out of the black rubber tube that dispenses into the icemaker is frozen. Can I fix this easily at home and how?

The water inlet valve on the back of the unit where the water supply comes in can have a slow leak and will cause ice to buildup and block the fill tube. Disconnect the ice maker line from the valve and watch to see if it has a slow drip. It doesn’t take much to eventually block the fill tube.
The valve can leak because of sediment in the water preventing it from closing or low water pressure.
