If nothing happens replace the icemaker

If nothing happens replace the icemaker I too have the same problem and if I push the paddle back a few times, it will dump ice. However, it will not dump ice until I do it again. Any ideas what to do or what to replace? Thanks!!

When I removed the icemaker I discovered a small spring on the white paddle had come out of position. There is a small hole that retains the spring and the spring came out of the hole. Hope this helps.
