Hello,
The reason the fill tube is freezing is because the tube that connects to it and connects to the water inlet valve is seeping water slowly. It's just enough water to trickle into that tube at the top and since its so cold that little trickle freezes,then the next trickle freezes and so on and so on. After enough small drops of water freeze the entire tube is frozen. To stop that replace the water inlet valve the small diameter tube connects to. The part number for that is 67003753 you could purchase it at your local applianve parts store. Or online at

Trace the water line on the back of the unit where it goes into the freezer compartment. It chould be a 1/4" plastic line. The water valve is usually at the bottom of the unit. Make sure you turn off the water if you plan to work on it.

its hard to tell but most likely the valve is not closing all the way. but it could be the ice maker calling for too much.... www.whirlpoolpartssurplus.com

check 2 things. Make sure the fill tube is going downwards to the cup inside. The second thing is when the valve shuts off make sure it closes right away. If it doesnt then replace the valve.

all is normal with the defrost heater getting red hot.
as far as the inlet tube freezing, you most likely need a new water inlet valve. it may not be closing all the way and water is slowly dripping into the icemaker and freezing up right away. a new valve should fix your issue. here is the part that you need. http://www.repairclinic.com/SSPartDetail.aspx?s=t-TFH27PRSA-%3d%3di1032629&PartID=1032629
