Built-in and refrigerator ice maker diagnostics, water line issues, and production problems.
Quick Answer
Ice maker issues are usually caused by a frozen or clogged water line rather than the unit itself, especially during Chicago winters.

Ice Maker Repair Troubleshooting Guide
"Not producing ice" — what's usually going on
This is one of the most common calls we get for ice maker repair. In many cases the cause is a worn seal, a blocked vent, or a sensor reading incorrectly — not a full system failure. Before calling for service, check that the unit has proper clearance and nothing is blocking airflow. If the issue persists, it's worth having a technician look at it before it turns into a larger repair.
"Cloudy or malformed ice" — what's usually going on
