OK here's the situation:

have a 2 year old frig with door mounted ice/water dispenser. It's
not making ice, and when I push the lever for ice/water, I can hear
the freezer fan stop, and the light on the dispenser gets dim. IOW it
seems something is lagging down the system.

The corkscrew doesn't turn to dispense ice, but I get water from the
water dispenser.

Any ideas? Thanks much

Grab your wife's hair dryer and warm the back of the icemaker where the
water comes in.

Usually the mechanics for making the ice and delivering the ice out
the door are seperate. Are you saying that in addition to the light
dimming when you press the ice button, the ice makes is also not
making ice?

Sounds like the corkscrew and maybe more is frozen up. It tries to turn,
thus the dimmed lights. Thaw it out and find the real problem. Thaw the
ice bin, perhaps it slides right out.
