This is a QD0452A ice maker it will not cycle
It can be a variety of problems. The door bin switch should turn off the unit when it senses that the door is open (bin full of ice). It is a curtain that opens out to release the ice.
Next it could be the water inlet solenoid, it energizes to allow water in for the ice making process. If it stays constantly on then that would be your problem.
Look at the control board light indicators and you'll know what cycle it is on. These parts are energized and seek help if needed.

Icemaker runs constantly but never makes enough
Process of elimination. ... ice thickness sensor (adjust and clean).... water outlet bar with holes that runs down the ice maker plate (make sure all the holes are not clogged and point to correct angle to keep from splashing) check those 1st.. the other steps are more involve if you have refrigeration tools to check refrigerate level, etc.. let me know if this will help 1st
Makes ice for 3 cycles then stops running.Can turn
check the cycle time for a batch of ice. should take around 15 minutes to freeze and then you will hear the harvest cycle kick in. If the harvest cycle takes 3 minutes or more that is your problem. You will need to get a hold of NICKEL SAFE ICE MACHINE CLEANER. DO NOT use CLR or any kind of cleaner other than NICKEL SAFE ICE MACHINE CLEANER. If the ice doesn't fall off of the plate in about 90 seconds either the plate is dirty or the nickel plating has come off. There is a failsafe shut down if the unit takes more than 60 minutes to freeze or more than 3 minutes to harvest 3 consecutive times. The cleaning instructions should be inside of one of the covers. If not it's available online.
