My icemaker stopped working after pulling out the drawer to empty the ice. This happened once before and when I wiggled the drawer, it started working again. I can't get it to start working again this time. Does someone know how the ice starts/stops when the drawer is in or out of place? I think that the drawer must not be hitting the right connection to make the ice start working again. I have put the arm up and down but this doesn't help either. Any ideas?

Cevans, I take for granted you mean the ice bin ? Have you noticed if the freezer light comes on and goes off when you open / close the door ? Does the dispenser work, can you get water from the dispenser, when it does not make ice ? Based on the wiring diagram, there is no switch on the ice bin / dispenser circuit for the ice bin. There is a freezer door light / interlock switch(mounted on the bottom of the freezer control panel), that controls the power to the ice maker and dispenser assembly, I can only guess at this time but, I think you have a loose wire at the switch. A Failed switch. Or the door liner is not contacting the light switch lever and closing the circuit to the dispenser / ice maker. Part number: AP3108668
You may also have a loose connection in the ice maker wiring harness to the ice maker from the wall. You should probably start there, if the light and dispenser work , when it does not make ice. :) :) :)
