      Returning guest presenter Aaron Wilson is back for another exciting discussion. This time, we'll be talking about...
      The Science of CYA: How to Keep the Customer Safe, Document Your Work, and Not Get Sued
      We take on a lot of liability as appliance repair techs, and that can get us into sticky situations whether we've done anything wrong or not. Aaron will be teaching us all about how to navigate this side of the trade.
      We'll start by going over a tragic, real-world case study where a sloppy installation had lethal results, analyzing exactly how the installer's negligence caused this. From there, our scope will expand to what kind of safety precautions we should implement in our own work, both for the customer's sake and for our own.
      But even if you do everything perfectly, there's still the famous "technician witch hunt." Well, we'll also talk about how to deal with that by thoroughly documenting your work and putting yourself beyond legal reproach.
      A little about our guest, Aaron Wilson:
      Aaron has been in the appliance repair trade for about 15 years, starting out by doing installations before moving on to bigger and better things. He worked for C&W Services as a Sub-Zero authorized servicer for a time and thereafter joined Mr. Appliance of Highland Park in the Dallas area, where he worked for years as the lead technician and field service manager. These days, he's making sure that all the appliances of everyone's favorite fried chicken place are in tip-top shape as the Quality and Performance Consultant for the southwest branch of Chick-fil-A. In addition, he has taught many classes on refrigeration repair and advanced diagnostics, during which time he also developed training material for the soft skills side of things, which he is delighted to share with you. On top of all that he's a certified graduate of the Master Samurai Tech Academy, so he knows his stuff!

Whirlpool fridge model GX5FHTXVY09 IceMaker just stopped.

Hello, people.
French doors fridge on top, drawer freezer on the bottom.
The water dispenser (in the fridge) still works well.
The icemaker worked for years, now just plain ol' quit.  Stopped producing ice.
I removed the icemaker, left it out for 24 hours, reinstalled it.
A day later, there Is ice in the icemaker, but it was not ejected.
Already went thru the Whirlpool "Troubleshooter" simple problems/solutions.  No help there.

In other posts here, I've read about "error codes".  
How do I get information about that for this model?
And/Or: where can I get the Tech Sheet for this?
Does that include a Wiring Diagram?
Are there certain terminals that a voltmeter can test?

Any helpful advice would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Check your temps where the ice maker is at. Sounds like the thermostat in icemaker is bad, thermistor in freezer is bad causing freezer not to get cold enough or another issue. I would check temps first by putting a thermocouple between a bag of veggies or similar to get an accurate reading. Could also have an intermittent ice maker motor.

Thanks, Nathaniel, for the reply.
As the Icemaker Cycling Thermostat is less expensive than the entire icemaker, I'll try that.

Personally I’d cycle ice maker and see if it can eject the ice. If no, you have bad mold heater or motor. 
 

In my experience on these machines it usually the heater not working.

Only if it passes temp checks.
