Ice maker assembly very easy to replace if you have the skills providing your refrigerator NOT under warranty? (if it is get done free of charge if covered?) Two screws, remove the harness off the old one or just plug it in after alignment of the inlet water tube. Several utube videos to show you how. Now if you have bottom freezer with the ice maker down there it stretch to get to but, not impossible. About all of them made in the same China plant. From about 2013 to 2015 (the warranty repair guy told me) they made some defective gears (cheaper than normal) if the ice maker heater not in time, weak, or inoperative it strips the gears trying to push the ice cubes out in the ice maker. My frigidaire was replaced under warranty. It sounds like it's on its last leg again? I'll just get one from amazon or eBay and replace it myself when it goes, and it will go, just matter of time.
