Water Inlet Valve
The primary cause of a 'frozen' ice maker in this model is a weeping solenoid. When the valve fails to seat perfectly, water trickles slowly into the fill tube and freezes before reaching the tray, creating an ice plug. Replacing the valve ensures a clean shut-off and prevents tube occlusion.

Ice Maker Assembly
If the ice maker itself is encased in ice (not just the tube), the internal harvest heater or the thermostat that triggers the harvest cycle has likely failed. Replacing the entire assembly is the industry-standard solution for mechanical jams and heater failures in this specific Whirlpool modular unit.

Water Filter (EveryDrop Filter 4)
A heavily clogged filter causes a significant drop in water pressure. Low pressure prevents the water inlet valve from snapping shut firmly, which leads to the 'weeping' effect and subsequent freezing of the fill tube. Field protocol requires a filter change if the current one is older than 6 months.
