I have a GE Artica Profile, and Im having similar problems as everyone else....The ice maker wont make ice, but I can get water from the door...the green light is constantly on, but the icemaker won't fill up with water, thus no ice is being made...I'm kinda thinking there's a problem with the feeler arm too, but not sure .... is there anything I can do aside from replacing the entire icemaker? I'm in good with an appliance company, and I can get the whole thing for less than 80 bucks, but dont wanna spend it if I can avoid it...I appreciate any suggestions y'all might have, thanks...

Just be sure that the plastic tube that puts the water into the icemaker in the freezer is not frozen. If not replkace the icemaker. Tom ApplianceEducator.com

Still have a solid green light... Give it time, about 12 hours. I don't know if you defrosted the water tube from the inside or outside. If you did it on the inside, some of that heat hit the icemaker. We usually tell people, when we install a new Icemaker to give it 24 hours. Let me know what you find. Tom ApplianceEducator.com

Ok, do you mean after I thaw out the line to give it 24 hours before I turn the icemaker on?? Cuz I just turned it on right away...should I thaw out the line, leave the maker off and let the freezer cool back down before I turn the icemaker back on?

No, when you put in a new icemaker the factory says to give it 24 hours, before it starts dumping. You just need to replace the icemaker, if it has ice in it, and it ain't dumping.
