Ice Maker in freezer issue

A few days ago I noticed that there was a giant clump of ice in the ice maker which to me looked like water had just been dripping out of the ice maker and freezing a bunch of cubes together. At this point it was still making ice...just also leaking and causing an iceberg. Now my ice maker has totally stopped making ice....any ideas what's going on here?

ice can sometimes get jammed in it and it snowballs until it freezes into a lump.
take it out and make sure its all clear, beyond that if it doesnt work then the motor burnt out in it and you need a new one. they are usually under $100-$150 to replace the whole thing

I've had an off and on issue with my Whirlpool side by side making ice, or I should say, not making ice.
I took the icemaker out and gave it a thorough cleaning since it looked like the tray the water sits in had some mineral deposits. It is making ice like brand new now. I think the scale from the deposits were not allowing the ice to break free and get unloaded for some reason.
Or, maybe I just got lucky for the time being. Oh, and I do have a water filter on the thing that is changed when needed.

The heater strip goes out and it freezes up. Order a new one, most models are easy to install.

Maybe I’m misunderstanding the symptom, but it sounds like you are saying water is leaking out of the ice maker down into the tub holding the ice.
If so, a couple of issues I’ve found with this are A) the inlet valve is going bad and not shutting off the water in time or B) the tray is not level.
I had an issue with B) recently and when leveled, no more leaking.
There is a timer mechanism that you can adjust fill time, but that shouldn’t be the problem unless it’s been tampered with.
