ice maker compartment too warm

Ice maker at 15 degs, freezer at -6. Replaced the unit, oem, made 3 cubes and quit. Figure it is the damper or the control board, or ? How can I be definitive?

The model number is correct but the unit is French doors above, a refrigerator drawer, freezer drawer below. While under warranty had the ice maker replaced 3 times. Now it is on my dime.

Update (08/31/24)

The refrigerator side is at 35 degrees. The damper I refer to is the mechanism that controls the temperature in the ice maker compartment

@colonelr

Please confirm the full model number of the refrigerator?

As can be seen from this link there are 23 different model variations and they don't all have the same features or work exactly the same way.

Further troubleshooting: took the damper out an fixed it to remain full open overnight. Ice maker temperature = 13 degrees, refrigerator = 29 degrees. However, it had made one tray of ice. Returned the damper to normal operation.

Hi @colonelr

Doesn't seem like the damper is the problem then.

Here's the tech sheet that may help.

Run Service test #18 Ice door motor and check if it works OK.

Also try Service test #36 Ice box fan to verify that air is being blown to the ice maker.

If you do find the problem and it is a faulty part, here's the parts list. Locate the wanted part in the list to find the manufacturer's part number for the part that is listed with it. Search online for the part number, to find suppliers that suit you best.

All tests checked positive. No malfunction. The ice maker suddenly started working and made ice for about 4 days. Quit, for 2 days and restarted again. Temps are 11 deg F in the ice maker. That is where I am today. Making ice with no idea of what is going on .
