Found water leaking from our maytag side by side model MSD2142ARW. Disconnected ice maker 4 weeks ago thinking it was that, and still leaking and has ruined my new laminate floors. Is the freezer gasket or something more?

The defrost drain hole in the freezer side is frozen closed.
Turn off the fridge.Remove the bottom bin and look on the back wall of the freezer for the drain pan. It will have a block of ice in it. Use a hair dryer to defrost the pan AND the drain hole inside the pan,until you can pour a cup of water through the drain hole.

Maytag Icemaker freezing up

Possibly a bad valve but more likely not enough water coming to the unit,follow the water line from the back of the unit to where it hooks to the pipes there is usually a little saddle valve there,try closing it all the way and then open it back up check the water through the door and see if the pressure doesn't improve. 
 You can also remove the Ice maker clear out the fill tube and sit a cup under the end of it for a day or two if you get water in the cup and Ice in the tube you probably have a solenoid valve that isn't closing completely.

Kenmore Ice Maker ice freezes solid in catcher - I think there may be a leak in the foremost line because icicles form on that side. I have extra line - is it complicated to replace?

The solenoid valve that lets the water from the supply line when the ice maker calls for it is leaking ,it's located in the back of the fridge at the bottom behind the cover where the water line goes in.It's very easy to replace (before do anything remember to turn off the water).

Ice maker broken

The ice maker likely needs replacing.
But ceck it to make sure its not hung up.

Does it have ice frozen in it or is it just turning arround.

Remove it and see if the heater underneath has a hold burnt in it.

Its just a plug in unit you can order one online.

Kenmore Ice Maker

Sounds like a water valve problem to me. Force the ice maker to cycle. (turn it off and let it get cold for at least an hour then turn it back on). Test for voltage on the ice maker side of the valve. The valve is usually in the back near the floor. Just follow the water line. Another solution. switch the wires on the water valve. then try the water dispenser and see if it makes the ice maker fill up. See if when the ice maker cycles water comes out the door. If the ice maker causes water in the door , replace the valve, If door switch causes ice maker to fill up replace ice maker again.
