Sub Zero 690 ice make not working after tripping breaker
My Sub Zero 690 was recently working just fine when one day something tripped the circuit breaker that it's on guessing the fridge - but it appears another receptacle is on the same circuit. Upon restarting the breaker at my panel, it started back up just fine, but the ice maker is not making ice. After reading other answers, I will state that the water dispenser is working, there is no ice/water in the tray, and the arm is not stuck in the up position. The basket slides all of the way in and makes contact with the rocker switches. The right rocker switch appears to successfully control whether or not the impeller works to push ice out turns when I hit the ice button and hold it down. I'm not sure what the left rocker switch does and haven't taken apart and ohm'ed out yet. Wondering if there are any other suggestions from anyone out there. Thanks in advance!

You could have a frozen water line, or some part of it clogged with ice. Turn off freezer, remove food from area and take hair dryer to it. Take your time and then switch back on. Worked for me.
That is pretty much what I ended up trying last night. Had the freezer down/open for about an hour and also had a hair dryer up there for 5 minutes or so. Still no luck. I also ohmed out the left rocker switch behind the ice bucket and appeared to still be good (< 5 ohms). Figuring it might be the ice maker that needs repair. Trying to align this with the fact that my service panel breaker tripped...could have been the motor in the ice maker getting jammed against ice.
Is the "ice" icon displayed on the screen? you have to turn on ice production on a Sub-Zero
It has been out for 2-3 weeks. Tonight I plan on digging for the schematic (believe it should be behind the grate above the doors) and see if I can determine what the left of the two rocker switches does. Hoping that it is a shut-off to the ice maker for when ice bin is not installed. I can ohm it out and if it's faulty, I am aware of local store that carries them. Already had to replace fan switch 6 months ago and likely the same part...
there is a light, fan, and ice switch. light switch is opposite of the other two, it is "normally closed" component, while the other two are "normally open," meaning no continuity until the switch is pushed
