Ice Maker Assembly
The harvest cycle requires the mold heater to break the bond between the ice and the tray while the ejector motor sweeps the cubes into the bin. In this model, internal failure of the motor windings or the mold heater circuit prevents the 'dumping' motion despite the presence of frozen ice. Replacing the full assembly is the only reliable fix as these internal electromechanical components are integrated into the housing.

Ice Room Fan Motor
The ice maker harvest cycle is temperature-dependent; it will not initiate unless the thermistor senses a temperature below 16°F. If the ice room fan fails to circulate sub-freezing air from the freezer into the door compartment, the mold never reaches the threshold required to trigger the dumping sequence.

Refrigerator Main Control Board
The main control board processes signals from the ice maker's thermistor and sends the line voltage required to actuate the harvest motor. If the board's logic for the ice-making routine is corrupted or the specific relay for the ice maker motor fails, the harvest cycle will never be commanded.
