There are two ways to get dirty ice - dirty water or a dirty machine.
If the water that the machine is processing is dirty, you'll get dirty ice. Check that your water filter is working properly, and that the filter core is in good condition. If the water supply to your machine is really dirty, consider a double filter.
Also, check inside your machine for deposits of silt, minerals or other undesirable materials. Clean out the inside of the machine thoroughly, but don't use any household cleaning products or acids - they will damage your machine or leave an undesirable perfume which will contaminate the ice - Just use water. Also don't use anything abrasive on the internal surfaces. If there are mineral deposits, you can dissolve them with household vinegar by soaking them or spraying them continuously, and then rubbing with a non-abrasive sponge. There are also commercial solvents especially for icemakers. Rinse the machine thoroughly to remove any odours, and throw away the first harvest of ice.

Ac icing up

Two things cause a unit to ice up restricted air flow over the evaporator coil (it's the one that ices up) Can be a dirty filter or the coil may be dirty or the return air vent may be blocked. Other cause is low freon.

Iced up coils

Iced up coils always means a lack of heat load on that coil. This may be due to fan failure, dirty blades on the fan or "squirrel cage", dirty air filter. If the outdoor coil in a heat pump application is iced over, possibilities are: fan failure, dirty fan blades, outdoor ambient temperature too low, or failed defrost timer or ice sensor.

My Whynter UIM-155 ice maker used to make alot of ice quickly. Now, it does not make very much ice and it takes a long time? What should I do?

look at the condenser coli to see if it is dirty if so clean it. Dirty coil will cause it longer to make ice. also make sure nothing is blocking the condenser return.

Hoshizaki KM-900MAH Ice Maker it sounds like it is making ice and is freezing it but its not dropping ice any solutions?

Do you hear the machine cycling like normal but just not dropping? Could be the hot gas solenoid. If you never hear it trying to drop that could be anything from a dirty condenser to dirty plates to bad ice thickness control. Run some ice machine cleaner through it and blow the condenser out.

Dirty ice

Did you change the water filter recently? If so, you may have some air in the lines which can be purged with a few minutes of dispensing water through the front.
