When you removed the ice maker, was there ice in it and it won't dump it or was it empty (no ice). If it was empty you'll need to check the water valve

Tell me what trick you did. Maybe you didn't do it right 'cause you didn't get a shock.

Thanks for the response....I toiok a aperclip and shaped it into a U and put tape in the middle so I didn't get a shock...and inserted it into the N and V holes...I gues to reset the maker. Nothing happened...should I try other holes? I had removed the maker it self....dried it off completely using a hair dryer....and checked the hoses to be certain there was no frozen water anywhere....and the wire to the left is all the way down in the on position.
After thinking about this last night I waonder if it is the valve that goes to the ice maker. I read that where the water line comes in it separates into two lines...one water for drinking and the other for the icemaker. The water works fine...but there is no water to the ice maker.
Thanks, anyhting would be appreciated.
Have a nice afternoon...and Holiday!

Sorry Rick, I did not respond to your question....yes, when I removed the icemaker form the freezer there was stil ice in it....that is why I iused the hair dryer.
Thanks, Jim

OK if there were ice-cubes in the ice maker, the water valve is most likely good. If you want to force cycle the ice maker to start a harvest mode, try this; take a 2" piece of insulated wire and strip a half inch off each end. Bend it in the shape of a "U" Locate and short holes "T" and "H". Once the harvest cycle starts, remove the wire. Sounds like the ice maker is bad.

As of this moment I am certain it is the ice maker unit itself. I have trouble shot this puppy as far as I can..and from talking to other tehnicnas they agree....but I don't know if I am ready to spend the $100 to geta new one,
Thanks for al of your advise...it is appreciated.
Jim

Did you try to force cycle it already?

Thanks for the response....I tried the cycling by using the paperclip jumper at the T and H holes....but it didn't cycle....or for that matter make any noise like it was even ready or thinking about cycling. Are there any other methods of cycling using the other ports?
Thanks, Jim

Nope, that's it. The power module is bad.
