Default Ice maker icing up

Hello group,

I have a Kenmore side by side with an ice maker. When it's ready to
make more ice, the water comes in through the back of the freezer
through an inlet valve and then down a small plastic trough to the ice
maker. Lately, the water has been freezing up at the inlet, and the
trough quickly ices over. I have to melt the ice back up the trough
to the inlet to get it to fill correctly, but after a few days, it's
iced over again. Any idea what needs replacing? Everything after the
trough (the ice maker itself) is less than a year old and working
fine.

Thanks for any advice.
