The ice maker stopped making ice

Since the ice maker had no water in it, I was unsure if the problem was the inlet valve or the ice maker itself, so I replaced both with help from AppliancePartsPro.com videos. I received both parts within 2 days. After repairs, I was vacuuming lint from the cooling coils and hit the cooling fan blade, breaking 2 segments off. I ordered a replacement fan blade about 12:30 pm and received it the next day at 2:00 pm. Everything is running great and I really appreciate the great service and quality of AppliancePartsPro.com. I will certainly be using them again.
