A lot of times the reason the ice maker is not working is 1 of 2 things. First I would check the water filter if the fridge has one, and make sure it is new, or replace it if it has been over 3 months (depending on the fridge and filter, could last longer). If you replace the filter and the ice maker is still not working, be sure to check the water line going into the fridge, if it is a plastic line (soft to the touch) make sure to squeeze it ever so gently to see if water is flowing through the line properly. If so then, you may need to turn the water off to the fridge and disconnect the water line from the fridge to see if it is clogged, if so it could be clogged with calcium deposits, if not then the mechanism for the ice maker it's self could have gone out and needs replaced. This all depends as well on how old the fridge is. If the ice maker has a metal bar, be sure it is in the proper position to make ice, a lot of times they get broken and need replaced.

I turned the ice maker off now I can't get it to turn on and work it freezes cubes but won't dump them in ice been

Ice maker harvest cycle is not working. Jammed timer in Ice maker unit.

Remove the wire harness of the ice maker and put it back after 5 minutes. See next day whether it is working.

If not still working. You did the right needed thing at the wrong time to shut off the ice maker. You will have to replace the ice maker.

Ice maker units are very sensitive units. Sorry to say.

GE Profile Model PSS26LGSC Ice maker not working

Did the ice buildup appear to resemble the water overfilling the top of the ice maker? The only thing that I believe that may work is removing the ice maker, clean the excess ice buildup.dry and reinstall the ice maker and see it works. If the ice is above the normal level the ice can cause the motor that pushes the ice out of its slots to strain more than the gears or motor can handle stripping the gear or damaging the motor beyond repair, When harvest takes place the first thing that happens is a heater below the ice maker warms the cubes a little just enough to allow them to slide out of their slots and fall into the ice bin. The ice make for your model does not have replaceable parts and if bad or damaged it is less expensive and time consuming to by a new ice maker. If the water fills above the top of the ice maker it is usually the fault of the water control valve not closing all the way once it fills the ice maker after each harvest. Did water refill the ice maker when you cleaned it? Did the water overfill after you cleaned out the ice maker? What I am asking is water over filling ice maker again after you cleaned out the excess ice? If the water continues to flow from the WR57X10032 Water Inlet Valve
