It is equipped with dual ice makers. Neither will make ice automatically but will if you hit test button. This behavior started on both at same time. Ice cubes are solid. Have gone through all resets and disconnected the fridge from power. Also checked waterline and get full volume through water dispenser. After reset, the water fills, but does not dump the ice until I reset it again sometime later.

More info … I had recently started to periodically turn lower ice maker off on door panel due to little use

Please help.

I just replaced it. After unplugging the fridge, installing the new ice maker and then plugging the fridge back in, I pushed the test/reset button on the maker and nothing happens. Am I supposed to hear anything? How do I know it’s working? Just 24-48 hour wait? Should I assume the replacement ice maker is bad? I’m not getting any error codes. I don’t have the ice off button on.

(The top ice maker and water dispenser have always worked and continue to do so).

Thanks
