Ice Maker Assembly
The most common cause for a 'frozen' ice maker is a failed internal mold heater. If the heater fails, the ice cubes cannot be released from the tray, causing the unit to stop mid-cycle and often resulting in water overfilling the existing ice, creating a solid frozen block. Replacing the entire assembly ensures the motor, heater, and thermostat are all within spec.

Water Inlet Valve
If the solenoid on the water inlet valve does not seat properly, it allows a slow trickle of water into the fill tube. In the freezing environment of the door/freezer, this trickle freezes solid, eventually blocking the tube or causing an ice 'geyser' that freezes the entire ice maker mechanism into a solid mass.

Freezer Door Wiring Harness
This is a documented pattern failure for the WRS series. Constant opening and closing of the freezer door causes the wires at the bottom hinge to fatigue and snap. If the neutral or heater-specific wire breaks, the ice maker will fail to harvest and will appear 'frozen' or unresponsive even though the rest of the fridge works perfectly.
