The ice maker was not filling w/water. We have performed the following:
1.) LED lights flashing twice when open; steady with flapper door closed.
2.) Checked tubing to ice maker. Appears clear (no water or ice in tube)
3.) Jumpered the ice maker per page 5-5 of the whirlpool job aid 4322658A but could not see that step 9 was working. The ejector bar was not moving when I reopened the freezer.

Also water was not filling the ice tray with the jumper cable in, so I assume either the thermostat is bad or the valve that releases the water is bad. Are there other tests to confirm that the valve (or solenoid) are operating?

Should I order new parts and see if any work?

If the valve is bad, is there any literature as to how to replace? I could not see anything on the whirlpool job aid mentioned above. Thanks

Hi,

Please post the complete model#, the model# tag is located inside the refrigerator section on the right side upper wall.

You can jump the L & V on the module and that will send 120 volts to your water inlet valve and see if water comes out from your black rubber fill tube above your ice maker.

Model number is KSRP25FNBL00.

Thanks, were you about to jump L & V at your ice maker module to see if the water started coming out of your black rubber fill tube above your ice maker?

If you want to test the water inlet valve alone, You can buy a test cord here:

The L&V test was successful. The unit filled w/water and the blades started to move.

Sound like we need to replace the module, correct?
