Kenmore built in ices maker not making ice

Greetings, I am new to the forum as of today. Looks pretty informative here to many subjects.

Here's what I am looking for information on: I have a built in Kenmore ice machine, model # 106.89485992. I just bought this home that has been vacant for awhile. When I moved in I started the ice machine, let it fun, and after 2 days no ice. There is water supply and power to the ice machine.

By the looks of the resevoir it is filling with water, however appears to not shut off; excess goes to the overflow tube and down the drain. I did find a parts manual for the machine, however there is very limited "do it yourself" repair suggestions.

I'm open to any and all feedback/suggestions.

Regards,
Mark.

Can you tell if the compressor is running or not?

Also pull the cover off the mechanism and inspect the mechanical gears. You may find one or more broken or stripped.
