Ice maker not working

Google and Youtube have been my best friends several times over the life of my last refrigerator (especially the icemaker). Sometimes it was something as simple as a line being frozen up (maybe aim a hair dryer in the right direction if the internet can tell you where that in in your model). Sometimes as mentioned above, taking it out and letting everything defrost for a day or so would fix it for a while. (My model was extremely easy to remove & replace - one screw and a couple of “plug and play” wiring harnesses.)

Just be cautious when searching on the internet that you’re getting a reliable source, and not one that’s going to ask you for a credit card! One I found helpful was https://forum.partsdr.com/.

Eventually when all else failed I was able to get a replacement pretty easily. It might have been over $100 but not much over . Of course that will vary for different refrigerators. If you get good DIY info from a website/forum and they offer to sell you the replacement, you may want to check Amazon for the price. I don’t mind letting a helpful forum make a little profit but sometimes there was a big difference.

Also, during the downtimes, I had ice trays that made cubes the same size as the icemaker, so while they still had to be filled & emptied manually, I could dump them into the icemaker bin so they still dispensed through the door.
