The ice machine on a Westinghouse refrigerator is not working?

My brother just bought a house and the ice machine on the westinghouse refrigerator is not working. The manual says you may need to wait 24 hours for it produce ice, but it has been 48. The icemaking switch is on. We changed the water filter. Water does come out when you push the water switch so the water is hooked up properly. The temperature is 0 degrees F so it is cold enough.

ANy ideas?

    There should be a little rubber hose that pours water into the automatic ice tray, check to see if it hasn't frozen up with ice and is clogging the water from getting into the ice tray.

    I had one freeze with water once, (took me forever to figure it out), all I did was pinch it out of the hose.

    If that isn't it, then you need to call a service repairman.
