Although I would say there is probably nothing in this that will solve the icemaker not working. This is a complicated unit and there are several different things that can cause the icemaker to stop working!

First thing to check is that it is not jammed.. Lift the cover and make sure a cube is not stuck in there.

With out the full model number it is hard to say. Most 106 model referigators have a modular ice maker. If you take the cover off of the front of the ice maker and look on the right hand side of the motor module you will notice a small plastic adjustment screw. If you turn this screw you can adjust your water fill time to the ice maker.

Ice maker has built in heater to thraw ice alittle so the finger scooper lifts up ice and out. Be sure the ice cubes are not stuck in between fingers cause that will jam it. if you dont see any jam then replace ice maker

Look for an ice cube lodged in the fingers IM. Get a hair dryer and melt that dude. No ice cube? Add some water to the IM mold. If it kicks out some ice but makes no more then you is gonna need a water valve. If it don't kick out no ice then you is gonna need a ice mold thermostat. Either one is very easy and cheap to fix. let me know Kimosabe.

flavor from strong food stored

hi there,

sounds like the i/m is making ice. if you have ice in the bucket, it means that the only problem is the dispensor. if you have frost anywhere, the problem is with the actuator, which is the ice pladdle. you may have a broken spring or just the ice paddle need to be replaced.

That means that the solenoid that controls the ice maker is defective and must be replaced with a new one.

That means that the evaporator fan system that releases the the ice cubes is not working as it should.

Use the number listed on the owner manual if you want to call a technician.
