In such situation the problem most likely is a bad optics (#26 & #38 on the diagram) - The part number for the optics board kit is AP3137510 Gene. Great, at least I know I had it on. If it helps, the red light by the on/off switch gives two quick flashes every couple seconds, however I've found these error codes don't usually mean much. On a side note, I bought a whirlpool range at about the same time and its control board died after only 3 years and that was almost $200 to replace (nearly half the price of the appliance). Does whirlpool stuff just suck? I always heard whirlpool was supposed to be a better brand, but is there a better one I should start buying?

Amana (Maytag) Model AFD2535FES
Ice maker shut off arm hanging attached at the rear only
Can see No broken parts anywhere
DH must have put the ice cream in the freezer last and put it in the icemaker bin causing the shut off arm to disconnect at the front of the ice maker when he shut the drawer. I need to reconnect the arm with your help.
#1 How does the bottom drawer come out??? I got the top tray out. I need to beable to lay on my back and see what is going on.
#2 I need a pic of the arm hook up at the front so I can figure how to get it back on. It is just flapping in the breeze right now. The ice maker doesn't work either so there must be a switch or lever that needs to be flipped by the arm's movement.
Thank in advance for ANY and ALL help. Dh just wants to buy ice but I like to have an ice maker!

I would recommend to replace the whole ice maker because the ice makers repair rate of success is very low and many people ended up spend more money. - The ice maker Part number: AP4360346

I may be having the same problem so I intend on taking your advise as it seems my Whirlpool has a water restricition to the ice maker. I'll keep you guys apprised (whirlpool model ED5FHGXNQ00).

I thought I would piggy back on the other posts.
Our ice maker is not working. It's a Kenmore, model 106.71194101. It does not fill with water, although, when we fill it with water, it will make and dump the ice. I think I hear it going through cycles without water/ice. My husband has used the hair dryer on the water tube to thaw out any ice. Before we noticed it was not filling with water, it overfilled the tray and we had about 1/2 inch of water/ice on the bottom of the bucket that holds the ice. There were a couple of times that it seemed to be working very hard to turn the ice out of the tray.
What do you think?
Thank you for your help!

Sounds like the problem is a bad water inlet valve on the back of the refrigerator. - The water inlet valve Part number: AP3961809
