Default Whirlpool Icemaker

I bought a new house in January 2011 and about a year later the Whirlpool refrigerator ice maker failed. It was leaking water into the ice bin turning the ice into one big ice chunk. Under warranty they replaced a part. That worked for about six months then the problem started again. They then replaced the entire unit under warranty. This January the problem started again. I paid about $300 to have the entire unit replaced again. The service man said that he replaces about 5 a week, that he has the same model refrigerator and he bought a free standing ice maker himself because of the problems.

I left on vacation for two weeks. The ice maker again is frozen. The repair service says the parts and labor are only guaranteed for 90 days.

Has anyone else had this problem? Any suggestions?
