First, check your condenser coils. Unplug unit and pull out from wall, then remove rear cover and spray down coils with soap and wash out with water hose nozzle. Clean them out well including the fan blades. Replace cover and start back up. It should go down cold enough to make ice now without burning up compressor. Here is a manual: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/8010163/Whirlpool%20%20Icemaker%20Ice%20Dispenser.pdf
There are micro-switches in the ice maker that can be tested with a meter and a harvest t-stat and a harvest heater. Also, you may need to test the water solenoid. Here are manuals for the refrigerator: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/8010163/Maytag%20Refrigerators.zip
Use your meter and you will find the problem. Try filling it with water manually to test it if it isn't filling or to start it off.
