Take the ice out look at the flap from the inside...hopefully an easy fix may have to order a new flap moisture gets in there again to vfreeze after you use the blow dryer

Ice Maker Problems and Ice Maker Troubleshooting

Please refer to my earlier post with Sue, as you have the same problem as she did..

The flap door that opens to let ice drop out of the door has a bad seal or the plastic mounting arm is cracked or broken,this is allowing moisture to enter and turn to frost.This will continue to happen until the flap door is repaired,and sealing correctly.

The dispensor door not closing completely . Replace the flap solenoid and plunger behind the dispensor controls .

You need a main control board and it will have to be programed but the new board comes with instructions

check the white plastic lever inside the ice box. it needs to be in the down position to make ice and is probably stuck.

Budd, if you want to stop the flapping until service shows up to replace the high voltage board do the following: remove the drip tray, remove the 2 screws under the drip tray. From the bottom, where you removed the screws, pull out and up. The whole disp cover lifts off. Unplug the 2 harness going to the board on the dispenser. The refrigerator will still operate normally minus the dispenser. Catriver.

The description says you have an LG fridge?  I may need the entire model # from the sticker inside the fridge to tell for sure, but there is a motor behind the dispenser controls that opens the door.  Let me know if you need more help.  Also, you can view parts and diagrams at http://www.appliancepartspros.com/.
