From the left - check the ice maker inlet tube position, from the right - check if there is ice building around air damper. That would normally mean that the fresh food door seal is leaking warm air from outside. Check this things and post the results. Thank you. Simon.

If you have a dual water solenoid, temporarily swap the connectors. Then, activate the water fountain with the door open and the door switch closed. Then look for the problem, probably a partial ice jam in the icemaker fill tube.
