Sometimes the tube leading into the ice maker mold where the water comes in will develope an ice blockage which prevents the mold from filling. Is the ice maker cycling through it's normal cycles, bale arm raising and lowering?

Many times, it is more cost effective to replace the entire ice maker than to replace parts inside it. I would check prices on a replacement unit as well.
