Kenmore ice maker

I have a kenmore refrigerator and the ice maker just stopped working. It is an older one with the ice maker in the actual freezer (not in the door like the newer ones). I checked the water and it is flowing into the fridge, but no ice. I touched the bottom of the ice maker and burnt myself (blistered) - extremely hot. I just unplugged the fridge and then disconnected the electrical connection from the fridge to the ice maker. Any ideas what would cause this? Should I just replace it?

    good water flow in door but still no ice ,I lowered the freezer temp to 4 degrees a couple of weeks ago it started the make smaller ice cubes then it stopped altogether. .Q-1- how to lower the shutoff arm for it to make ice or does it matter?
    Q-2- will unplugging the fridge overnite for 8 to 12hours recycle the system?
    Q-3- if none of the above work guess will buy bagged ice again...

If the ice ejector (the plastic part) is pointed down and not pointed between 10 and 3 o' clock the ice maker motor has failed or somethin is binding. Replacing the ice maker is probably the best bet.
