How do you set the thickness of the ice cube in a QO210 model
-
The trick is to use vinegar and a swab to not clean the metal, but to clean the plastic base and rinse it off. The swing base starts conducting due to mineral build up. You have to rinse the vinegar and dry for the same reason. Acids are conductive too.

I should clarify what I mean by ice plate problem. The plates on ice machines have the tubing soldered to the back of the plate. Sometimes the fillet between the tube and plate has enough gap that water can get into it and the freeze cycle works over the years to increase that gap, or deform the tube to the point it breaks the tube loose from the plate. Over the years I’ve seen this twice and it usually means a new head. The cost and availability of the ice plate is just to high to replace, let alone that at this point the frame usually is rusted bad. What you will see is a upper corner or top row now making ice yet the tail coil is fully frozen. I never investigated as to why water got on the back of the plate, buy I suspect over spray from the bar and a poor seal at the top behind the spray bar.

I need a dump down valve for the Q210
-
What are you calling a dump down valve. There is no water dump valve, so your either are calling a hot gas bypass valve or the float valve. Depending on serial number and age, they used both Danfoss and Alco for harvest valves.
This is the parts manual;
These are the 3 possible valves in a Q210;
