Here is the tech sheet on this unit for you. ftp://ftp.electrolux-na.com/ProdInfo_PDF/Anderson/240389639.pdf . It shows how to cycle the ice maker. You can also just grab and pull on the racks of the ice maker, but it is not recommended in fear of breaking or damaging the ice maker. A lot of things can cause it not to make ice. A bad inlet valve or bad ice maker. First make sure temperature is cold enough in the freezer to make ice. Then cycle the ice maker and see if it goes through a cycle and fills with water. If no water check for ice in the fill tube, poor water pressure or a faulty inlet valve. If it gets water and still not producing ice you more than likely have a faulty ice maker.

I did that and the icemaker went all the way thru but no water came in. So does this mean i have a bad icemaker as the icemaker should send power to the inlet valve?

Oh the fill tube is okay also Thanks Brian

Did the inlet valve hum as it was trying to fill? You can check the valve for continuity. You can also run the ice maker through a cycle and check to see if it sends voltage to the valve. It will do this for about 7 seconds near the end of the cycle.
