Question ICE Maker will not make any ice
Brand: Kenmore
Model Number: 106.56676500
Age: 1 - 4 years

My ice maker was working great untill one day i went to ger ice and there was none in the freezer. I changed the filter that did not help. the water dispensor on the door will work. i check to see if the water was going into the ice maker and there is ice in the tray but they will not come out just sitting there. There is a red light next to the icemaker on/off switch it is blinking two times then off for a second then blink again two times. i want to know if that is telling me a code to my problems?????????????????

This is telling you that there is a problem with the Infrared emitter.

To check the operation follow these instructions:

1. Open the freezer door and remove the ice bin from the door.

2. Make sure the ice maker manual shutoff slide is in the on position.

3. Tape the spring-loaded emitter door to the emitter cover in the down position.

4. Close the freezer door for at least 10 seconds.

5. Open the freezer door and actuate the freezer door switch 3 times. This step must be completed within 10 seconds of opening the freezer door.

6. Close the freezer door within 20 seconds of completing step 5.

7. Wait for at least 2 second then open the freezer door and view the diagnostic LED on the infrared receiver module for the error code. You will have 60 seconds to open the freezer door, and 2 seconds from then to view the LED output code.

If the LED still flashes twice there could be dirt or frost on the optics, something could be blocking the infrared path or the optics maybe defective. Clean the optic elements and repeat the previous test.
