So I am wondering if it is the water valve causing the problem or is it the icemaker itself? Before I order parts it would be nice to have some idea. thanks whatnext

Could be because of water pressure, blockage in the line, stopped up wire screen in the water supply line where it hooks to water inlet valve. Some ice makers have an adjustment behind the plastic end cover. Look for the +/- on and adjustment.
