Thawed it out, and now it's cooling to like below zero and the ice maker wont make ice. The tube freezes up after thawing it out on first water cycle. Doesn't even get to make 1 batch. Freezer seems to just not be cycling off and is freezing ice maker tube instantly as it turns on. Of course after first freeze, don't get any water thru at all. What sensor tells it its cold enough and to cycle off and on?

Please check it. Check your freezer temperature. It should be between 0 and 5 degrees F. Could be it is too cold. The most likely cause is a bad control thermostat.
