I don't feel like it is returning enough to trigger switch to dump and call for water. It works fine for a couple cycles then I have to raise and lower arm to start the cycle again. Thanks for any advice.

Or You could just add a little weight to the arm to help it drop down. Just be sure that it is well secured. Or Remove the icemaker from the unit and take it apart to check/clean the arm bearings etc. Here is a link to a manual which has lots of info on the ice makers.

Thought I would try that first, I was thinking all along about adding some weight but wasn't sure about what kind or how. Hopefully won't need too, I will update in a few days. Thanks for the help!
