Ice Maker Not Producing Ice (intermittently)

Hi all,

Have been dealing with this issue for at least a couple years now. The fridge stops producing ice. It’s going though it’s normal cycle and I can hear the hum of it calling for water, just no water. I haven’t had much luck with many of the solutions regarding powering off, hairdryer, etc. that I’ve found here and on other boards. Here’s where I have had success… One day when I had everything apart I decided to manually fill the tray, and boom… it started working again by itself. I don’t know why it works, but it does. Every time this issue pops up, I fill the tray manually once (maybe a couple times) and it would start working again. The issue happens usually 3-4 times per year, but I’m here today because it has stopped working 4 times in the past couple of months. Filling the tray manually still works, but the issue is becoming more frequent and I’m looking for a more permanent fix.

Again, I’ve seen a lot of similar issues and solutions, but I have yet to find where someone can get it running again by manually filling the tray so I’m hoping someone has some thoughts.
