I have a three year old Kenmore Elite. The ice maker is working but will only produce a few ice cubes at a time. Is the ice maker going bad?

No, the icemaker is only making what the water supply gives it. Either you have a clogged filter or you need a new water valve on back. Simple as that. If your filter has not been changed within 6 m months, replace it.

Thanks so much for your advice. I thought water valve might be the issue on washer from reading other posts and since our area of Tn is known for hard water. I will replace the filter on the fridge. Gracias!
