take it out and make sure its all clear, beyond that if it doesnt work then the motor burnt out in it and you need a new one.

I’ve done this on a couple occasions, ran warm water over it in the sink to make sure all ice in the unit was melted, re-Intalled and it unit worked fine. Another occasion the ice maker did have a bad motor (you can run a diagnostic procedure to verify a bad motor), and I was able to replace motor at minimal cost ($20 motor from Amazon, DYI replacement) and it fixed the problem without having to replace the entire unit.

I’ve learned to keep a few old fashioned ice trays around to make ice cubes until I can get around to fixing it.
