My freezer ice maker seems to overspray. Ice forms above the ice drawer and becomes rather heavy It only happens over the ice drawer, and the door seals are good.

The filter should be before the fridge and should not affect it it sounds like the water valve from the fridge is defective .Other possibility is the icemaker head is defective and needs changing.
SOURCE: ice dispenser in door clogged up or frozen
I would contact Hotpoint direct for this one. It sounds like a design fault to me.
What I think may be going on is that the cubes are melting too much, then refreezing lower down.
Set your freezer to -18, and the fridge to +2 and see if that changes things any.
Check seals in that area. Where is the moisture coming from to generate the frosting? - Is the location high in humidity?

Water dispenser works fine eliminates some potential probems, so disconnect the water line at the outlet of the water valve leading to the icemaker. Blow into the tube (with the freezer door open so the air has an escape route.) If you can't blow through the tube, check where the tube passes into the freezer section for an ice blockage. This would result from a water valve not shutting off 100 %, allowing a little water to dribble in and freeze the inlet shut. If you can blow through the tube, most likely the electric solenoid coil on the water valve supplying the ice maker water is bad. In either case, replace the valve. (it is a dual solenoid valve, part # 2315533)

This issue is not yet corrected... The repair guy sent by Kitchenaid claimed that there was nothing wrong with the seal, after only looking at it- and refusing to consider that it might be caused by the ice maker itself. I don't think he even bent down to look into the freezer. He said that it must be that we aren't closing the drawer properly- which is BS. The repair guy was useless, did almost nothing and was quite belligerent. He tried to make some suggestion that maybe I was lying about it being under warranty because of it's manufacture date. I told him that we had purchased a floor model.
So I removed the ice, dried the surfaces and made sure the door was closed. I turned off the ice maker for a few days too. Still the frost started forming almost immediately. I wiped the seal to clean it, and noticed that one corner is somewhat warped feeling- like it was malformed at the factory. The defect corresponds to the location of the icing problem. When I turned the ice maker back on, I did notice a faster build-up of ice. I suspect the fill nozzle sprays water around a little bit.
I will call Kitchenaid again and ask for a different repair person to come out. I'm just going to demand that the seal strip be replaced. If the problem persists after that it will probably be an ice maker issue.
