Not sure, I can get something to check it with n get back to you. The settings are A B n C. A being the warmest C the coldest. It is set on A and everything is frozen like I assume it should be.

The water fill tube to the ice maker could have frozen shut.

I checked a white hose that goes up back of refrigerator. I guess its to ice maker or it could go to ice maker, what ever it goes to its fine n not frozen. The water in the door does work if that matters. Is there any trouble shooting for dummies that I could do?

The water going to the door is not the same water line that goes to the ice maker.

You say you checked the line going to the ice maker, yet you sound unsure of what it is you even checked.

You would need to remove the water line that runs to the ice maker and blow air through it to make sure it's not frozen shut.

ok i got it. The line is not frozen. What about that thing under the fridge that that line hooks into or the arm that that trips the relay when the ice bin is full?
