Check the water inlet. Are the few cubes that it makes full size? Water is controled by a timer and if its obstructed or slow filling, it will not make ice. You could also have a bad motor, defrost heater, or sensor. If these items fail, it usually won't make any ice. Check to be sure the electric plug from the ice maker is plugged in and check the water flow.

3 yrs is a little long. Sometimes water or moisture will build up inside the ice maker itself. Once in a while you can pull the ice maker out of the freezer and let it dry out for a day or two, re-install it and it will work fine. Try to watch it when it first starts to make a batch of ice to see if it is filling up with water or if it just has a small amount in the cube maker. If it's making some ice, its probably not a defrost problem.
