Unique situation here! Ice maker not making ice, no water was in the ice maker. The problem here on this unit is, the display on the user interface is messed up and can’t tell what I am doing in diagnostic mode. I did get the ice maker to twist, however I’m not sure if this style of ice maker can function in that manner and still not activate the water valve. Second part of the problem is, homeowner doesn’t want to pay to have display fixed, just ice maker. Any suggestions would be great!!!

Hello
See ice maker diagnostics. If the display is not working it will be very difficult to diagnose the ice maker. If you can get the unit into the harvest cycle the water valve should be powered at the end of the cycle. So if the ice maker completes the cycle you have a water inlet issue. So the answer is yes, the ice maker should function without the display according to the wiring diagram in the link below.
Activate: Press ٨ and + temperature pads for up to 10 sec. simultaneously. Press + or – to move forward or backward through tests.
Deactivate: Press + for up to 10 sec. FFIM Diagnostic Mode will automatically deactivate after 5 min. of inactivity.
NOTE: Silence alarm.

I figured out that the ice maker fan was blocked with a little ice build up. Is the an insulation repair kit for this as I have heard there was, and if so, what is the part number?
