Need correct part number for ice maker AMANA ARB2217CC

[pjw73nh]

Greetings, 

Working on a "long distance" ice maker repair with a friend.  He has the Amana bottom freezer model mentioned in subject.  The ice maker has a cover that is angled at the top. Not square like every other icemaker I've worked on.  I don't know if this makes a difference or not. Maybe it interferes with the drawer or similar. I don't have access to the fridge here, so I can't tell.

Some sites mention IC11B as the generic replacement and show it as a square covered unit  Others mention an IM900.  When I looked at it, without disassembly, it appeared to only have one mounting screw (that I could visually see) at the bottom of the unit. I didn't see any at the top, but I didn't disassemble it either. All the models I saw online have two screws at the top. 

I haven't diagnosed the issue yet, but I don't want to travel all that way without a replacement or replacement parts.  He did mention to me that his wife had a tech in a few years ago and heated it up with a hair dryer (he told her it was a frozen line).  and it worked for a month or so.  I'm not at that stage yet. 

Can anyone supply me with the correct replacement part number?

Thanks.

If the line was frozen, the real problem could be the slightly dripping Water Valve, not the Ice Maker itself.

Thank you both for the replies.  Yes, I hadn't thought about a leaky valve.  I'll have to check that out before ordering and heading down there.

Thank you.
