The main feature of an icemaker is the water valve, whose plunger is activated by an electrical coil and switch inside the icemaker.  Water flows through the valve into the ice cube tray, where it  freezes into cubes which are dumped into the ice bin. When the ice cubes are too small, or the water freezes into one solid chunk, or the icemaker stops working altogether, it could be a sign there's something wrong with the water valve.

A filter on the water valve inlet can become clogged over time with minerals and sediments in the water supply, either restricting flow through the valve or blocking it completely.  Another filter issue can cause an overflowing ice cube tray.  A worn filter may allow particles and minerals through the screen. The particles collect inside the value and cause it to stick in the open position. In both instances, minerals and other material found in hard water create valve problems and a need for an icemaker repair.  South Los Angeles water comes primarily from the Colorado River which yields a high concentration of minerals and sediment that can wreak havoc inside an icemaker.  
 
A water valve also might stop operating because of a break in the electrical coil that operates the plunger at the head of the valve. 

Repairing the coil or replacing the valve filter are jobs the average homeowner can’t accomplish on their own, so it is best to hire a professional who specializes in icemaker repair.  South Los Angeles has several qualified service centers from which you can choose.
