Let's start by checking the optics. Open the freezer door and check the status LED. 2 Blinks followed by a 1 second delay-repeated: Tape the emitter door back so it doesn’t block the beam between the emitter and receiver. LED is on steady: Optics good. 2 Blinks followed by a 1 second delay: Bad optics Part# 4389102 (Ice Level Control Board 4389102 Order now for same day shipping. 365 day return policy.

Optics good

OK let's see if it will force cycle. To force cycle the ice-maker, remove the cover over the module and locate holes “T” and “H”. Take a small piece of wire bent in the shape of a U and short “T” and “H” together. The ice-maker will start the harvest cycle. Wait about 10 seconds and remove wire. The Ice maker will continue through the cycle. At the end of the harvest cycle the ice-maker supplies the coil on the water valve with 110 VAC.
NOTE: If your refrigerator uses the Optics, you’ll also have to tape the emitter flap back and not block the space between the emitter and receiver. You will also need to hold the light switch in until the ice maker starts then remove the wire. Close the freezer door

Ok I used a paper clip .. Pushed it In as far as it would .. The optics were not blocked and the light off .. I waited ten seconds ... Nothing happened ...

OK it sounds like you'll need to replace the ice maker. Here's the one for your machine:
