RELAY FOR THE HEAT ELAMENT IS BAD OR THE HEAT ELAMENT ITSELF, CHECK WITH A OHMS METER

make sure you reassembled it correctly.
icemakers can be stubborn with their safety features and will not work if not propperly reassembled

Hello. Thanks for choosing fixya! The most common cause for your problem is that someone accidentally raised the wire in the icemaker area that turns it off. Check that first if the wire is up, push it down and within a few hours you will have new ice. The second most common problem is that the cubes in the mold got stuck in there. the fix is to use a blow dryer to free them up, then dry out the mold and spray some PAM cooking spray in to the mold to lubricate it. The final possibliity is that there is ice in the water supply line that feeds your ice maker. Once again get out the blow dryer and thaw that ice so that the water flows once again. good luck with it. regards, joe

Hello,
You can do this by yourself by the following the instructions below.
Take off the back panel in the freezer, Use a nut driver or ratchet and socket with an extension, Behind the frost is the evaporator and the defrost heaters.One heater in the middle and one at the bottom. They are glass.They are glass tubes, If you can see the bottom that is great, if not use a hair dryer and defrost only the very bottom to expose the lower heater only.
Now in the refrigerator section at the top where the controls are take off the long plastics piece to expose the timer. The timer should be on the right hand side and have a little circle that is slotted. Get a flat screwdriver and turn that timer slowly clockwise just until it clicks and refrigerator turn off.This will put it into defrost.
Now look at that heater that you exposed and see if it glows and get hot. if it does , then the timer is bad.
If the heater doesn't come on theb go ahead and defrost the rest of the evaporator with the hair dryer. This will take little while. Don't poke at the evaporator.
Once totally defrosted look At both heaters.They should look like clear glass and see a silvier coilrunning through them, if they look discoloured at all then heater aare bad.The heaters come as a complete assembly with the defrost thermostat which clips onto the evaporator.
If the heaters look okay the onlyway to know for sure if they are bad is to check continunity with a meteron the plug at the end of their wiring harness. If you can check that you can splie in a new defrost thermostat to solve the problem.
However the best thing to do is replace the heater and defrost thermostat. it is easy to install.
Following the below solution this will solve your problem.

Ice makers are some of the most worked part of a refrigerator and have about a five year lifespan. There are just too many things that can go wrong that can stop the ice making process. To explain the process of a Whirlpool ice maker I am going to post a Whirlpool Ice Maker Troubling pdf and a short YouTube Icemaker Repair toutorial. If you have any questions I will be here to assist you, Thanks Sea Breeze
Hello - If your ice maker has stopped producing ice completely, you can try to check the following:
1. It may be turned off. Look for the wire along the right side of the ice maker that looks a bit like a coat hanger. If the wire is in the raised position, the ice maker is turned off. If so, try one of these: If your ice maker has a small red plastic lever, lower it to lower the wire. If there's no plastic lever, simply lower the wire. In either case, the ice maker should begin producing ice again.
2. Also make sure that the temperature is 8 degrees Fahrenheit or lower. If the freezer is too warm, the ice maker won't cycle properly.
3. The ice maker fill tube may be blocked with ice. If so, melt the blockage using a hair dryer-but be careful to not melt any plastic parts!
4. Also replace the water shut-off valve or water-inlet valve, or both, if necessary. The ice maker head assembly may have broken parts. Look to see if the gears are broken. Check to see if the small plastic arms that rest against the ice rake are broken. If the ice maker head assembly is modular and you've found broken parts, you can just replace it.
