What H2O light
actually means.
On Whirlpool French door models with this control, the H2O light is the water filter status. Whirlpool advises a new filter every 6 months or when the light comes on, and warns that a clogged or badly installed filter can reduce water to the ice maker and dispenser.

What to do when H2O light shows on the ice makerKind of codeWater supply and fill
The ice maker asked for water and got too little, too slowly or none at all, or water kept arriving after the fill should have ended. A closed shutoff, a kinked line, a clogged filter and low house pressure are ruled out before the water inlet valve is replaced or the fill tube is thawed. If water is on the floor, close the supply valve before reading anything on the display.

After the change, press and hold LIGHT and ICE TYPE for 3 seconds to reset the status.
If ice stays slow with a new filter, check the supply valve behind the refrigerator.

Water supply and fill on other makes
Door ice maker
The ice maker that feeds the dispenser on the outside of a door: tucked into an insulated box in the left door of a French door model, or at the top of the freezer side of a side-by-side, with a chute and an auger carrying cubes to your glass.
Freezer ice maker
The ice maker that sits inside the freezer compartment itself, a tray that twists or a mold with a heater and an ejector, dropping cubes into a bin or drawer you open by hand, with no dispenser on the door.
Undercounter ice maker
A built-in residential ice maker that lives under a kitchen, bar or basement counter, making clear cubes or chewable nugget ice on its own cooling system, with a water line in and a gravity drain or a small drain pump out.
In Whirlpool's own words
A clogged or improperly installed water filter can reduce water flow to the ice maker and dispenser
