Susan, You will want to first check for a frozen fill tube on the unit. When you pull the icemaker out check to make sure that there is no ice build up in the fill tube which would cause not water to flow. If the fill tube is clear the pull the motor module off the icemaker to check for burn marks on the module. Also check the large gear on the front to make sure that the pins in the middle of it are not pushed together and that they are not broken.
