Hi. That fan you replaced is specifically for the ice maker. It circulates the air from the freezer to the ice maker box. Did you make sure the new fan motor was working? Has it been 24 hours since you installed the fan motor to allow the unit to reach proper temps? When the cust unplugged it, did they leave it unplugged for at least 15 mins to reset it? Check your temperatures in the ice box and see if it’s cold enough to produce ice. If not check to see if your fan is running. You could have frost or ice blocking the fan blades. Make sure the air ducts are clear also. The ice maker should have a test button to cycle it. Press and hold the button for 10 secs or untill it starts to cycle. The test button could be the ice size button if not other buttons found. The ice maker could have a ice jam as well. Run the diagnostics and check error codes as well. I have attached a service manual on a similar unit for you. I hope it helps.
