After apparently diagnosing and repairing my ice maker, which included ordering a new control module and water valve, I am again without ice.
About a month ago, my ice maker stopped working. It was not getting water. I thought is was the valve. I ordered and replaced the valve, and this did not resolve the issue. I then ordered and replace the control module, which seemed to fix the problem. Ice maker was working fine for a month, until last night. I heard the gears trying to move, which wasn't new as occasionally a cube would get jammed and I would have to remove it for the ejector to complete it's cycle. This time small cubes appeared to have been ejected, but then fell on the back of the tray, freezing again to the tray, causing the ejectors to jam.
I removed the entire ice maker, melted all ice, and re-installed, hoping it was a hiccup. I left for work and upon my return, found no change. No water in tray. The arms are currently in a 6:00 position, and when I push on the door catch, the red LED remains solid.
How can I determine if this is a warranty issue on either the water valve or the module? Or is it the melting component of the tray?
Tired of no ice. Please help.

I'm assuming the part you called "control module" is the motor mold (#35 on the diagram). Did you replace the thermostat (#27) as well? If not then the problem very likely is a bad thermostat. The rate of success on ice makers repair is so low and cost is so relatively high what makes such repairs not cost efficient. I understand that you already invest a lot of money in this repair, but I still recommend to replace the whole ice maker. - The ice maker Part number: AP3182733
