Default Ice maker repair?

My kid's ice maker on the GE refrigerator just went south after 8 months of
use. No longer under warranty as they didn't start using it until the
kitchen was remodeled.

Anyway, it still make ice cubes inside the freezer, but no ice dispensing in
chip or cube forms - no sound either from the motor or solenoid. The ice
water dispenser works but takes a long 10 seconds before the solenoid kicks
in. Before, we get instantaneous ice water when it was working right. When I
try to dispense ice cubes or chips I could see the dispenser light cycle
between normal and dim but no ice - must be drawing current somewhere for
the ice machine.

I know nothing about ice makers but have no problem tearing into it if I
have some directions or a parts diagram. Any suggestions as to what I should
look for or troubleshoot? Thanks!
