Saddle valves fitted decades ago are a common restriction on older ice makers. They clog slowly, and the machine simply produces less ice each year until someone measures the flow.
Owners can check the supply valve is fully open and run cleaning cycles. Replacing a saddle valve with a proper shut-off is plumbing work worth doing when a technician is on site anyway.
