Is it your ice maker, or possible the blades that crush the ice or dispense the cubes? What can happen in the latter case is that during the storm the ice melted and pooled in the cutter mechanism. Then, when power was restored, the blades were frozen solid. To fix, investigate taking out the cutter mechanism and letting it thaw and drain. Then reinstall and use frequently for the first few days to prevent refereezimg.
upon further inspection, the ice maker water supply line has some type of blockage after the water enters the refridgerator lines. (water is coming to water connection at back of unit, as well as out the water dispenser in the door) now to figure out how to access the water supply line for ice maker to thaw/ unclog it.
actually took the supply tube out the back of the freezer and it was frozen solid wth ice. took it apart, ran hot water over the frozen pieces, reassembled and it's working like a charm. Thanks for being here Fixya.com !!!
