My Kenmore/LG French door ice maker appears to be leaking. I performed a test cycle and watched it fill, but I can't see any leaking occurring. The water seems to be building up mostly along the bottom seal of the ice maker door. Any ideas where else the leak could be coming from?

Check for any ice in the fill tube. If there's ice, replace the water valve:

I didn't notice any ice in the fill tube, but I took all the housing apart and there was quite a bit behind the back "wall" and underneath as well. I'm not sure how long it's been building up, but I watched it fill again and don't see any leaking so I'm stumped.

Can you take a few pics and post them here?

Ok, the ice problem seems to have stopped. After thinking about it, it seems to have begun shortly after changing water filter. But now ice maker manual test works without issue, but then doesn't seem to continue making ice. There's ice in the tray, but it isn't cycling anymore. If I do a manual cycle again, it dumps ice, fills tray, ice freezes, but seems to be hanging at this point. Thoughts?

Here's the part you need:

This is an ice maker for a refrigerator and freezer combo. An ice maker includes the molds needed to freeze the water in order to turn it into ice cubes which can be dispensed from the appliance. A new ice maker may be needed if the appliance is not making ice. If any component of the ice maker...
