L&V are standard points on all modular ice makers. They energize the
solenoid valve. Figuring it was the solenoid, I ordered one of those
too. However, the fact that water was coming out when energized made
me think there was no problem. I replaced the solenoid just now and
will see if that fixes it. Can't be anything else. The fact that the
ice got smaller and smaller means it is probably a solenoid that is
getting clogged or leaking water and allowing the fill tube to clog.
