Are the icicles formed directly under the ice maker or under the ice bin? Is there melted ice in the bin? Is the temperature gets warmer in both compartments? It sounds like it could be a problem with the main control board (located at the back of the fridge behind the metal plate on the right) and the defrost sensor (located on the top of the evaporator coil). Model DSS25KGREBB The sensor is #241 on the diagram 03 Part number: AP3185407 Control board is #801 on the diagram 09 Part number: AP4436216 Thank you, Simon.
