Ice maker won't push ice out. Not sure if its the heating element or what..?

I don't know if the heating element didn't work or something? The bar that pushes them out is under the cubes, so it started, but didn't complete the cycle.

Update:

Started a few days ago. I emptied the ice bin out because the ice was old. It made about 5-8 batches, then this happened.

    The plug (behind the icemaker) may be loose or bad contacts. I actually had the same problem with our Kenmore- had to buy a new Icemaker. The timer compartment got filled with water and then froze. That caused damage to the contacts, then my stubborn mechanic inside me said I could fix it so I took the timer apart- bad idea, hence the new Icemaker.

    Make sire the Plug is plugged in all the way sometimes you can just bump it and it wont connect right also if you can see the arms hitting the ice and it is clicking you may have a bad heating Element

    you can get a new ice maker cheaper than you can fix those Domestic units
