I just started the icemaker back up after not using it for about a year (unit has been in operation though).
Icemaker will make about a 1/2 bucket of ice and then water is being sprayed on inside door, causing ice build up. Looks like the water fill tub is iced up.

Hi,

That's usually caused by the water inlet valve.

Rick describes it in post #9 here:

FIXED - GS6SHEXNL00 Ice Maker covered in a glacier

Hello, Opened my freezer today to find a mountain of ice sitting on top of my ice maker and a solid block of ice on the side of the freezer from ice maker to bottom of freezer (see attached pics). This is the second time this has happened. First time, I broke the ice maker unit trying to remove...

Your model uses that exact same water inlet valve:
Water Inlet Valve W10408179


Your Kenmore 106 model is made by Whirlpool.
