Could the line freezing up causing the water pressure to leak past the gasket? I am still getting water as usual and its still making ice (before I turned off water to it). I replaced the filter approx 1 month ago. Is there a component I should be looking to replace or IS there a gasket inside the water line inlet? Thanks in Advance..

But usually when this happens no water will enter the icemaker. Its possible the tube is partially blocked causing this problem. Check this and also check to see if the rubber that the line connects to is not ripped and the line is pushed up into it good. Refrigerator repair guide
