Have a Whirlpool refrigerator Complaint, was leaking and small ice cubes and water in the fresh food floor.
The filter is in top right of fresh food compartment and the water lines in / out had molded plastic elbow fittings.
Both hoses cracked at the fittings . I replaced with new modified water lines ,now no leaks.
Cust said Icemaker still making very small cubes. { small icemaker mounts in freezer door ).
Anyone have a tech sheet on the icemaker and/or the manual for this refrigerator.

Generally, this reverts back to a plugged up filter head, or one that may not be releasing properly. How is the water flow thru the dispenser assembly ? If this is good , then read the attached document to learn how best to troubleshoot this. If you have one of the models below follow the instructions.
Theory of operation, SxS product IDI
After the freeze cycle time has elapsed (36 minutes for normal operation and 29 minutes for Acceler-Ice), the main control board will send 120VAC to the ice maker.
When the ice maker thermostat senses a temperature of 17° +/- 3°F, the thermostat closes.
At this point the current now has a path through the thermostat to the motor. (The motor rotates the drive gear. Inside the module there are copper contacts that ride on copper strips and are driven by the drive gear. As the drive gear rotates, the contacts will make or break circuits to control the ice maker operation).
The motor will start rotation and the mold heater is turned on.
The ejector fingers will stall on the ice cubes until the heater warms the mold to release the ice.
The ejector fingers push the ice out of the mold.
After the ice is ejected, the motor continues to rotate the drive gear.
The water valve is then energized for 7.5 seconds
As the water valve is energized, a signal is sent to the main board which turns on the water inlet tube heater (This heater will stay on for 40 minutes).
Every time a harvest occurs and the ice maker fills, the heater will come on again for 40 minutes. When the ice bin is full, the heater will not be energized. This may cause the ice maker water fill tube to freeze over a period of time.
Once ice is used from the ice bucket and the level of the ice drops below the infrared beam, ice harvesting will begin again.
The ice will be removed from the mold and the ice maker fill tube heater will turn on when the water fill valve is energized.
Note: Because the ice maker fill tube is frozen, it may take one to two cycles to thaw the ice maker inlet tube line.
Low, Intermittent or No Ice Production (Assumes other functions of the product are working correctly)
Step 1: Check Freezer temperature. (optimal 0°F, ±3°F)
Adjust Freezer temperature as needed.
Lower Temp for More Ice.
Step 2: Check to see if optics is working. (Refer to the Technical Data Sheet)
Note: The Optics LED light will only be on for the first 5 minutes after power is cycled. Only use the service diagnostics outlined here to check the Low voltage (LV-IDI) Optics.
Enter diagnostics (Press SW1 and SW2 simultaneously for 3 seconds. Release both buttons when you hear the chime indicator).
Go to step 15.
01 indicates ice bin is full or ice bin is missing.
02 indicates ice bin is present but not full. (You should see a change in state by removing the ice bucket).
If correct, go directly to step 3.
