Answer

Greg, Yes the issue could be the I R dispenser control boards W11629974, the test/diagnosis is relatively easy. Open the freezer door, observe the red LED light on the right side of the freezer wall. If the LED light flashes twice then pauses and repeats, this indicates the flapper on the left side wall is blocking the IR beam, or the optics are faulty. Press in on the flapper on the left side of the wall, if the LED light continues to flash twice and pause and repeats, then the optics boards will need to be replaced. If the LED remains on solid after the flapper is pressed in then you'll need to check or replace the ice maker.
