I've been using these things for 20+ years now. I'm sure if there was something wrong with them, I would have noticed by now.

@ Martin: That's right! I never thought of that. I'm, for lack of a better term, "guilty" of removing the laundry before cleaning the filter, but that's probably because I am so used to the top-mounted ones for the WP dryers. @ Washman: Yep! That's exactly how it is.

Oh, something else I forgot. If it has one, is the fan for the condenser running?

Is your condenser possibly dirty? If it's really bad, it will not be able to dissipate heat properly.

Hmm, sounds like maybe the timing for the water valve is out of adjustment, but it also sounds like maybe the ice maker's thermostat is going bad, since it should not allow the maker to cycle until it has detected that the cubes have fully formed. That's the best I myself can figure out.  ...

Gave it some tests, seems to work well so far!    That would have been pretty funny if it did let you hide your own posts. haha!

Another reason why I love my warm rinses.
