When the arm rises it's supposed to drop when the ice is ready for harvest. I have to give it a gentle push donw and then the ice will come out. I used the arm from the old ice maker and it looks identical to the part ap3902924 on this site. Thanks, Mike

I makes sense that a little weight may trigger the downward motion. Does the downward motion start after the heating leement comes on the loosen the ice cubes? Thanks, Mike
