The water line shut is usually behind the unit.Pull it out from wall. Just turn clockwise to shut the water off. Depending on your model you can turn the ice maker off by letting up the handle in the ice tray.That shuts it off from making ice.Newer models have a button on door that reads ice off.But if it's leaking water.Shut water off and left handle up or ice off at door. That way it's not trying to make ice.
get one from any fridge service shop
be prepare to pay that as the glass in the bulb is special pyrex glass to withstand the extreme cold and normal bulbs are not suitable for the job
Hello, Suzanne -
Most ice makers in refrigerator / freezers have a heavy metal wire "arm" which activates and deactivates the ice making process. When the "arm" is in the down position, ice is made.
With most refrigerator / freezer ice makers, the "arm" can be set in the up position, so that the ice making process is stopped.

Best wishes.
There are three variations of your model# ending in eb,eq and ew with slight variations of each model.Typically on these the thermostatically controlled damper will go bad and unfortunately these were produced before whirlpool acquired them in 2006. Since then, most parts have been discontinued.
An easy check is to put your hand under the vent and slide the lever from coldest to warmest.. If it is working then you will feel a very significant change in the amount of air coming out. The thermostat itself controls the freezer temp and is balanced by the damper so if that was bad then your freezer temp would be either way too cold or too warm.
Sounds this fridge/freezer has a refrigerant leak. Eventually the freezer will also stop freezing. Need to find and fix leak and refill with refrigerant.
There is nothing on the bottom of that machine that can be damaged by a dolly. You should be aware of cosmetic damage to unit if there is a kick panel and you are dollying from the front.
