Here are the most common causes for Whirlpool Refrigerator GB2FHDXWB06 "Ice maker won't dispense ice"

Icemaker Cycling Thermostat

Missing thermostat.

The video instructions were easy to follow, and I replaced the thermostat while also replacing the ice mold. It was a two person job at one point because the screws did not align perfectly.

Ice machine isn't producing any ice.

The troubleshooting video didn't help me much because my model is a little different and I couldn't find all of the contact holes. So I guessed that it was the valve as that is where the water and ice machine feeds split, but that wasn't the problem. So next I got the Thermostat and the special metallic putty. Again the tear down was a little different with my ice maker, but I was able to get it replaced. Works great now! Also, during the teardown I found the other contact holes hiding under an L-shaped piece of plastic screwed onto the front face.

The ice maker stopped.

I ordered a thermostat for the ice maker, (part# WP627985). Upon removing the ice maker and disassembling its cover, evidence of a burned contact inside the unit was clear. So now I have a thermostat I can't use and ordered the Ice Maker Assy. Which I might add is on order.

Ice stopped producing.

Videos on YT showed how to take multimeter readings to check the motor and the Thermistor. The Thermistor readings were high in ohms and not as suggested in the video. So I removed the ice tray and defrosted it and then read the thermistor and it had a reading of 3K ohms by itself so it was not totally open. However, the conductive sealant was minimal. So I ordered the thermistor and when it arrived it had the same 3K ohms reading. I installed it and used a more conductive sealant which makes the temperature transfer between the ice tray and the warming element (which causes ice to be melted for extraction). Put it all back together and hoped for the best that it would make ice again....it did, so I got lucky. The testing of the thermistor was inconclusive. Also, your site should have links to the videos referenced for testing the icemaker.

The icemaker was forming clumps of ice and icicles hanging from icemaker.

Decided it was the icemaker thermostat and bought the replacement here. Replaced it and also used Alumilastic adhesive. No ice clumps or icicles.
