The ice maker in my Trio has stopped working. It was working fine yesterday morning. It started making a grinding noise and has not made any ice in 24 hours. It doesn't appear that it's a case of ice getting stuck in the mechanism. It actually doesn't look like there isn't ice in the ice maker. Water is coming out fine from the dispenser in the refrigerator so I don't think it's the filter. The temperature in. It's the freezer and refrigerator are fine. The grinding persists even when the arm of the ice maker is up (to stop ice production). I tried a hairdryer on the ice maker as well as the tubing behind the crisper tray in the fridge in case water in the line was frozen.

Thoughts on what it can be and how do I stop the grinding noise until I can get it fixed?

Thanks!
