Make and Brand????? I will assume U line, as that is the most common stand alone in an RV. IF it gets cold(must be BELOW 10 degrees, the usual culprits are either the Tstat or if more than 5 years old, you will need a new mold/motor assbly as they usually get extremely rusted and corroded over the years and while you can buy the individual parts(120 motor-the bin switches and such), it is cheaper to buy the complete motor/mold assbly. This assbly is about $250 to $350 dollars and takes about 2 hours to replace. So, about $500 to $600 labor and parts. The tstat is about $75 and IF you just want to replace the motor and switches(comes as a unit) and NOT the complete mold assbly that part is about $95 to $115. Doug

its cold..
is there water in the tray ( ice making area )
water line could be plugged or water pump or inlet valve did not come on

For better help and response it would be good to give the make and model of whatever you are having trouble with.

This is an under the counter independent unit. It's only purpose is to make ice.

What brand/model of fridge??

Is this a stand alone U line Icemaker? Or IN the RV refer. Doug

Are you talking about an RV Fridge? Universal Ice maker kit new is $100.00 at Lowes. Could be a stuck cube? Try to defrost the compartment. Bad water valve solenoid, comes with Lowes Ice maker replacement kit as well. Water Valve on? Should be an easy DIY fix. I've changed out three, two for friends.

Is the water supply cut off or restricted somehow?

I would call up the manufacturer of the ice maker and ask for a manual, if you don't have one. Often there are troubleshooting steps that can resolve problems pretty fast.

Some ice makers require a cleaning solution to be run through on some regular basis. Check if yours has that feature.
