My ice maker just stopped making Ice. I turned the ice maker off and cut off the water supply, waited 1 day and turned everything back on and it still isn't working. What should I do?

You may need a new solenoid valve, or it is blocked with sediment, or you may have to replace the whole ice maker assembly.Usually the problem seems to be in the solenoid valve if no water is coming into the icemaker. That is where I would start looking for the problem first.

Check under the refrigerator and see if the coils are blocked with dirt. If they are dirty remove rear cover and blow out and wash out with a spray of water from water hose until clean. Spray cleaner on the coils and keep water out of fan motor, but clean fan blades well. Vacuum up with wet-dry vac. To make ice and initiate cycle the freezer has to reach a certain temperature. If coils are dirty it will first stop making ice then burn up compressor and you will have to replace refrigerator when all it needed was to be cleaned. I always would take the unit outside and thoroughly clean it inside and out and it was then like new again. Most people let it get so dirty that it burns up. It should be cleaned every six months at a minimum. DrTom4444
