I am trying to baby along our 16 year-old Whirlpool refrigerator. The ice maker is not kicking out the ice cubes, that is until I jiggle the white fingers, tap the unit and close the door. Then you hear the normal subtle winter wind 'whish' noise, a soft tat-tat-tat-at-at-t-t-t and a few minutes later a clunk of cubes fall out and it refills. It seems if I jiggle the fingers, it causes it to go through the heating cycle to loosen the cubes.
I have watched all the online videos and taken the end off. There does not seems to be any corrosion that would keep the heater from kicking in. Water line tests out fine.
I suppose I should buy a replacement ice maker unit, but I hate to put another $50 into it. Any thoughts as to what is keeping it from going through the cycle of ejecting the cubes?
