Ice Maker Not Working

I have a Kenmore side by side refrigerator. After 2 months, when I push the ice dispenser tab the motor to push ice is on, but not pushing ice out.

Sometimes I hear noise in back of the ice bin, but no motion for ice propeller to push ice out. Could it be that the motor is bad? I had checked the between the prop and the motor, seems fine. Any suggestions before repair guy called for $60 to come out?

Ice Maker Not Working

My Whirlpool ice maker was barely making any ice. Now it has completely quit. I cycled the unit, but that was no help. I tried to switch wires on valve luges to a different size. The fill tube froze up. I cleaned both the inside tube and the plastic tube through back of the refrigerator. Then I cycled the unit again. This time I heard the valve open, but very little water came into the cube tray. Any other thoughts?
