I had the same problem twice, and both times I had to replace the Solenoid/value part. I went through the troubleshooting guide for the ice maker, which was nicely tucked in the front kick panel, and everything worked fine. It went through the cycles but still no water comes out. I finally had to follow the trail back to the solenoid/value unit. Remove the connectors and plug an A/C volt meter into the wires which go to the solenoid, run the cycle, and if you have 120 volts AC, you should have water coming out of the fill unit (assuming the line is not frozen).

Here's the part I had to replace. again, twice in two years. Don't know if you have the same model, but good luck.

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.

Is it overfilling with water? If so, it may be an problem with the fill valve leaking slightly. I say slightly because if it were a large leak, the freezer would have frozen puddles in it. Also check the water chute to be sure the water is all going into the freeze tray. Sometimes they can work loose.

If the seam is leaking, there could be a crack in the housing - not sure that's repairable - sometimes epoxy will work (5 minute, 2 part) but it can be difficult for glue to hold on the type of plastic used in an ise maker housing.
