If you had to remove the refrigerator and freezer doors, did you reattach water and power connectors
at the door hinges? (Seethe Use& Care Guide for detailed instructions on removing and replacing
doors.)
Is the ice maker power switch turned On?
Other possibilities to check:
Is the power to the receptacle turned on?
Is the water filter above the fresh food compartment fully seated (see Use& Care Guide for details)?
