Hi,
Here is a tip that I wrote about the reasons why ice makers do not work.

If the freezer is staying cold it sounds like a defrost system problem. A bad timer, heater or thermostat can cause frost to build up on the coils and block air flow to the refrig side. Check out ACMEHowTo.com for troubleshooting the defroster problem.

Make sure this fan is running. You may have to hold the door switch in for it to run. There is a flap you adjust with the fridge temp. control. Make sure it's opening and closing when you adjust the fridge temp.
The problem could be the electronic control if you have one or the mechanical linkages.

If the evaporator coils behind the back panel of the freezer are icing up because of auto defrost failure that will stop the circulation of cold air and eventually affect the freezer too.

check defrost timer, defrost heater, defrost thermostat. In most newer models the timer has been replaced by an electronic control board. If the heater and thermostat are ok it’ll be the control.

Hello,

Towards the bottom of the freezer is the water diversion tray for when it defrosts. It is usually made of glass but may not be. Lift that up an see if it is blocked by frozen water ice blocking the cold air vent that recirculates and also feeds into your refrigerator.

If this doesn't help wait long enough and one of the other experts on the site will help you. If it does solve your problem I wouldn't be too surprised as I've seen this so many times.

Well, regards and good luck,

hi thanks for the question the first thing you said i would think the water valve but then you said the ice did not eject so i would think the ice maker is the problem thanks the appliance doc

You could have a layer of solid ice at the bottom of your icetray. Remove icetray. Remove any ice in bottom. Reinstall. Be careful there is a connection on the rear of the icetray, you may have to turn it to get it to mesh correctly. Fill with ice and it should work fine. Good Luck.

sounds like a noisy ice maker, is it making ice? about $100 for new ice maker. ck warr jeen air might warr parts in that unit for2 years

make sure the two vents inside freezer and refridgerator nside are not blocked....normal range is approx -15 to + 15 in freezer,...and 37-42 in fridge...take temp readings inside of both....a full freezer and fridge retian colder temp more...

sounds like your icemaker is jammed.

first ofall just feel around the icemaker and see if you can find a peice of ice jamming it that you can remove. if that doesnt work heat it up with a blow dryer until any ice that is there will melt away and it will free up..

there is one other possibility: the stripper could be jammed against the side of the icemaker in which case you'll have to remove the icemaker from the refrig and unjam it..

hope that helps and good luck
