it's me or the icemaker, but one's got to die. - ApplianceBlog.com

So...my Jenn-Air icemaker quit working, simultaneous with the fridge and freezer entering what we call "the warming phase." My father-in-law said the problems are sometimes related--that failed icemakers sometimes send the whole unit into a defrost cycle. Whether or not he was right, replacing the icemaker made everything colder...but now it won't dump ice. It's been over 24 hours, and it has a full tray of ice, but won't dump it.
We like our sweet tea cold in Alabama...help, somebody.

The icemaker will not function if the freezer temps rises above 15ºF.

Not normally.

Out of the icemaker in to the bucket? Out the door dispensor?

Out of the icemaker I take it? Freezer cold enough? Cubes too BIG or too small?
