If it has one and you've not changed it in 10 years, I'll cheerfully
bet a quarter that's the problem.

Which is why I'm buggin ya about a filter through which both ice and
water dispensing would go, could clog and cause both to cease
functioning.

Certainly possible.
All just guessin of course.

I'd check to see if the line from the
solenoids to the ice maker or to the
water spout is frozen. Frequently,
there are heaters, i.e. small resistors,
that keep these from freezing where they
pass through the freezer compartment.
Also, physical routing of the water
lines is critical to not freezing. .

Here is a link to the manual for your model #. Maybe the troubleshooting
section will help you out.

Well, my ISP is playing tricks again. I
posted this, but never saw the post.
So, here it is again, just in case.

Make sure the LED is not blocked and it is working. Look at the red
light on the right of the icemaker. It normally blinks. Push in the
flapper on the left side, with your hand out of the way, it should
come on solid. If not, be sure the slide next to the light is pushed
back to open the port and that nothing is in the way on the flapper
side.
