Check the condenser fan motor in the back.

It should run when the compressor is running.

Also vacuum the coils under the fridge.

If the inside of the freezer is not below 5 the ice maker will not function.

As far as the water not working you will have to check the water valve at the back of the fridge.

Here is a link to the parts of your fridge model 596.50392001.

Here is the condenser fan motor.
