Hello there
Please try these few tips ok?

It may be turned off. Check the Ice maker shutoff arm located at the top of the ice bin. Look for the wire along the right side of the ice maker that looks a bit like a coat hanger. If the wire is in the raised position, the ice maker is turned off. If so, simply lower the wire.
Is there water in the ice cube tray? If not check for water to the water valve. If you have water then it could be either a failed fill valve or ice maker control module is not activating the water valve.
Check for pinched water supply line (behind the fridge)
Do you have an inline water filter? If so, when was it changed last? To test if it is plugged, check for water both before and after the filter system.
Sometimes the water inlet tube that directs water into the ice cube tray freezes over; this can often be thawed out by simply using a hair blow dryer and warming the area (be careful not to overheat the plastics as they can warp or crack). Then adjust the freezer to a slightly warmer setting and make sure water is not constantly dripping from the inlet tube, as it will only freeze over again.
If it continues to drip we may need to replace the water control valve.
The ice maker head assembly may have broken parts. Look to see if the gears are broken.
Check to see if the small plastic arms that rest against the ice rake are broken.
If the ice maker head assembly is modular and you've found broken parts,
