I began to investigate and found that the flexible water "chute" connection had ice in it! I unplugged the refer, unscrewed the water filter and drained it. I disconnected the water feed on the outside back of the unit as well to make sure water could flow easily to the ice maker port.

Replacing the icemaker is pretty simple. Three screws, an electrical connector. Hardest part is getting to the icemaker since the freezer is below the refrigerator.

I read the previous repair story and agree with the author that the screw behind the front piece was difficult to remove and re-install.

The other two screws came out easily and I found the h ... Read more arness release easily and the harness was easy to reinstall.
