Ice maker not making enough ice
I have a GE dshs5pgxaess side by side refrigerator. We have noticed that it is not making enough ice (barely enough to fill a couple of glasses). I pulled it out vac’d a little dust out, unplugged to see if maybe the ice maker needed to reset. Have freezer set at 0 and refrigerator set at 38. All I have to read temp is a gauge for car ac. It shows freezer at 30 and refrigerator at 48ish . The front display shows the temps are at 0 in freezer and 48 in refrigerator. I don’t know where else to look. I do hear it running. I checked the water line and it is ok. Fan on back bottom left is turning fine. Took the ice cream out and it is very soft.Please help. BTW-I do not know how to work a voltage meter.
Thank you
Andrea
Is this a good question?

Just a side note: When I turned down the temp for the refrigerator side, it started freezing stuff. Don’t know if that is a lead or not. I am going to bed now, so I will look at in 8 or so hours and see if things are frozen over. I do hear something but I am not sure if it is the compressor or evaporator fan. I hear it when I open both sides.
BTW- I am in Phoenix…
Thank you for your help

2 Questions, before I start. 1) Do I need to remove the ice maker? 2) Looking at the picture, the coils look like they are on the refrigerator side, is that right? And do I need access to the coils, yet?
