Problem
Under counter ice maker would not make ice. Observed that no water was getting to the chiller. Figured it was the small pump and ordered it from Parts Dr. at a great price. Exact same part My Maytag/Whirlpool uses.
Tools
Use a Phillips head screwdriver and 2 small ratchet heads for all disassembly. Took the top off for easy access and while there did a thorough cleaning of every plastic part in the ice making area. Ran them through dishwasher and soaked some in vinegar.
Repair & Advice
Replaced the pump, replaced all parts. Turned it on in the evening. Next morning went to the bar, opened the ice maker and it was full of beautiful ice!

Repair & Advice
Ice machine wasn't making ice, so ran through the diagnostic menu. The recirc pump didn't come on so ordered a new one. Install was straightforward, remove the old pump, and plug in a new one. In about 10 minutes, ice was starting to form.

Problem
Kitchen Aid under counter ice machine wouldn’t make ice.
Tools
Wrench (nut remover)- I used my battery powered drill with an extension and socket; screw driver.
Repair & Advice
I watched a few diagnostic videos on YouTube regarding my KitchenAid model. It walked me read through the diagnostic light pattern, so that I could determine exactly what part of the KitchenAid undercounter ice machine was not working. It was pretty easy to diagnose. I then immediately went to parts doctor and ordered the part that I needed. They got the part to me quickly, and I was able to make the repair.
