Default Water works no ice from icemaker
Brand: General Electric
Model Number: TFX27R
Age: More than 10 years

Ice maker was emptied to fill cooler and now doesn't work. I read an earlier post on a TFX27 that someone suggested checking a gear. How do you go about that?
What other general troubleshooting potocol steps are advised? Also I didn't know if I should jump in on someones thread, because I dont want to hijack it. Any pictures or diagrams to help, I would appreciate as well.

The temperature in the freezer must be at least 5 degrees.

If you had the door open for a long period this may have caused the unit to stop working.

Check under the fridge behind the kick plate for test sheets.

For your complete model number look on the tag in the fridge section.

Here is a link to your fridge model TFX27R.

Default Icemaker working

Icemaker working but the shute for the ice to travel down to dispense is continually frozen and gets blocke when I de-ice it. I found the the ice building up around the wire inside the icemaker slowed ice produciron. Now I have the blockage problem.

Frost caused by air leaking in. See if the door flap is closing tight each time you dispense ice.
