Sounds like the mold heater (under the ice maker) is malfunctioning. The solution is to replace the ice maker.

Hi Gene, I basically have the same problem but in trying to find out the
problem I noticed the white plastic gear wheel on the front of the motor is clicking as if its trying to turn on. Any help would be appreciated Thanks Derek

Derek,

The best solution in such situation is to replace the ice maker. If you need the correct part number, post the complete model number of the refrigerator.
