A few months back I noticed what appeared to be glue or paper stuck to ice cubes in my ice bin. Ever since, My ice maker seems to have a slow leak while filling the ice maker and in turn it is causing all my ice to stick together into one large cube. I thought I found the leak and placed a small cup to catch it but found that is is doing it in other places. I don't see the leak but find the bin frozen together due to water flowing. Is it feeding too much water? Is this a simple fix? Will the entire unit need to be replaced? What parts do I need?

Drew, Normally, with your complaint and description I would reccomend you replace the fill valve on the back of the refrigertor. (there are two possible parts based on series number) AP4080862 AP4080917 You should also check and/or replace the water filter if you haven't yet. AP4343647 A clogged, dirty filter can reduce the water pressure in the system, and low water pressure can cause a fill valve to seap/drip. What I'm wanderring is, you stated you " found it is doing it in other places " A leak I presume , but in what other places ??? Hope to hear from you soon, :) :) :)
