Problem started several weeks ago. The ice tray stopped making new ice. I think I figured out the cause for this - the intake vent at the bottom of the freezer was was frosted over, I moved a few bags of food that were partially covering it up and chipped the ice away and it started working again.
A few weeks later, and I have the same problem. I remove the frost again, but it doesn't seem to help. I fill up the ice repository (where the dispensor feeds from) w/ ice from a bag - big mistake. After it was in there for a few hours I hear a thrashing noise, like the crusher is trying to operate but can't. I run to the freezer and open the door and it stops. At this point I try the front panel, tried dispensing ice and water and nothing comes out, in fact no noise at all. The lights on the front still work, show my selection.
The fridge at this point actually stops working, no fridge, no freezer. After about a day where it completely defrosted and a couple times unplutgging and replugging, everything kicks back into gear. Fridge/freezer work, ice maker is making ice...but the front panel still won't dispense water or ice.
Any ideas??

the water supply in the unit may be blocked or frozen up at some stage, i would try a full defrost for 36 hours and then try it out.

Hi: You press the switch and it makes a faint humming noise. That tells me the switch on the front panel is ok. The switch for the ice and water is actually on the bottom of the ref. The internal system of the ref is not under city water pressure. Ice is made so that's ok. There is a solenoid where the water attaches to the fridge down below which can fail. Just for giggles try tapping the switch with the plastic handle of a screwdriver. To loosen any scale that might have built up. As I'm unemployed also I'm giving you that trick. Otherwise I would just say replace it. I hope this helps, Jeff

Sounds like you need to replace the adaptive defrost which is #13 in the breakdown I have in
SOURCE: Seems the freezer door was
when you closed the door, the freezer froze all the condensation/melting ice,hence the icemaker freezing.
the best solution is a TOTAL defrost/clean out,then dry out.DO NOT USE HOT WATER/SCRAPERS,let it defrost naturally or use car de-icer.wipe out with bicarb to keep fresh.and then restart as new.

my Jenn Air side by side suddecly stopped making and dispensing ice. Water continues to dispense.
Well, not quite the same as the first post, but my ice maker suddenly stopped even with the "arm" up. Water still working. I felt really stupid when I removed the part that holds and crushes ice, and when I replaced it and put the "arm" back into position it started making ice again. Apparently it had not been snapped all the way in for some reason.
