Icemaker not making ice

I have a Frigidaire side-by-side with a lower freezer. The upper icemaker is working fine. The lower icemaker is making no ice. Short of replacing the icemaker, what should I check to diagnose the problem?

Search YouTube. Almost every appliance has a video on it.

Plug all that into an AI platform of your choice and see what it spits out

Ice makers not working is a normal function of modern fridges.

Older models had problems with the solenoid that sends water to the ice maker.

Does it have a water filter? Mine will stop making ice when the water filter is going band (and is subsequently restricting water flow).

A couple times all I needed to do was pull out the icemaker and give it a good cleaning with warm/hot water, especially where the water is collected to make the ice.
I did that twice and it worked fine afterwards. Maybe I was just lucky.

I have a similar fridge as yours and had the same problem recently. I couldn’t figure it out to save my life then read to unplug it and let it reset itself. I was skeptical but tried it after everything else failed. Turned out it worked. Unplug it for 20 minutes.

Youtube answers all these questions and shows you how to fix or replace.

You can probably replace it for less than you think. Probably get it on Amazon too
