How do you clean an automatic ice maker?

I'm not an expert, but this is how I "clean" my automatic ice maker. Sometimes it completely stops making ice, so I take the compartment out and let it thoroughly defrost and at the same time, unplug or shut off your freezer and let it set at least 2-3 hours. Plug it back in or turn the freezer back on after this time period and this should do the trick. If not, you may need to call a professional.
