My Jennair JFC2087HRS suddenly stopped making ice. I already replaced the filter but still nothing. It still makes the croaking noise. Now what?
More than likely the ice maker has gone out. The part nunber for that is going to be D7824706Q

Noise can come from these areas:
The inside of the freezer
Self-defrosting refrigerators use a circulating
fan to move the air through the freezer and refrigerator compartments.
This fan runs whenever the unit is cooling. The fan is located in the
freezer, as follows:
If the freezer is on top, the fan is on the back wall,
near the top or bottom, in the center of the freezer.
If the freezer is on the bottom, the fan is on the
back wall, near the top of the freezer.
If the freezer is on the left, the fan is on the back
wall, halfway up or near the top.
Over time, the fan may become noisy--usually
making a chirping or squealing sound, though it may make a loud groaning
noise instead.
To find out if the fan is causing the noise, just
open the freezer door and push in any fan/light switches. If the noise
is louder when the door is open, the evaporator fan motor is the cause.
You can't lubricate or repair this motor. You must replace it.
The outside back of the refrigerator
There are three components on the outside back of
the refrigerator that may become noisy: the compressor, the condenser
fan motor (if self-defrosting), or the defrost timer (if
self-defrosting).
The compressor is a football-sized case with no
apparent moving parts. You can see it on the outside of the refrigerator
at the back near the bottom. It is usually black and has black or
copper-colored tubes and various colored wires attached to it. If the
compressor is the device making noise, there is probably no repair that
will reduce the noise. You will have to replace it--which can be quite
costly.
If the condenser fan is making noise, there may be a
build-up of lint or other debris on the fan blade. The fan is located
near the back of the machine, sometimes behind a thin panel. To clean
it, first unplug the refrigerator, remove the thin panel, and use a soft
bristle brush to clean it. If there is no lint build-up or debris on
the blade, you will have to replace the motor.
The defrost timer is often located at the bottom of
the refrigerator, near the front and behind the kick plate.
Occasionally the electric motor inside the timer may become noisy. The
timer must be replaced to solve this problem.
The bottom of the refrigerator
Noises detected at the bottom of the refrigerator
almost always originate from the back of the refrigerator. However,
sometimes the drain pan under the refrigerator will rattle. You may
need to tape the pan in place to stop a rattle. Also see the “Outside
back of the refrigerator.”
