I have a FPBC2277RF5 Frigidaire Professional from 2016 (this is the correct model number, sorry for the typo on the title). Recently the upper fresh-food ice maker stopped producing ice. Through this helpful forum I discovered the diagnostic tests to run. I'd love any insight you have interpreting the results and making suggestions!

- Ice Maker Thermistor: 29 degrees. Maybe this isn't cold enough to make ice reliably? When I ran the ice dump test it did release the ice, but it didn't look fully frozen even though it had been freezing overnight. If this is too warm, how should I go about lowering the FF ice maker temp? What is the target temp? The main freezer is set to 0 and the bottom freezer ice maker works great. Maybe the upper FF ice maker coil is iced? (See below). I removed the ice maker housing and there was some ice around the back edges of it on the outside of the housing and on the back fridge wall under the housing. Maybe that means the ice maker housing gaskets need to be replaced if there isn't a good seal?
- Twist Tray: worked fine to dispense ice.
- Water fill: water fills fine.
- Evap fan: Turned on and off fine. We did have a situation a few days ago where the fan was making a lot of noise when it ran, and I figured the coil had iced over. I ran a hair dryer for a couple minutes into the FF maker with the cube tray pulled out, and that took care of the noise. But perhaps the coils are still iced over and I should try more heat for longer? Could that be the reason the temp isn't lower?
- Ice level sensor: arm moves fine.
