Hey guys:
Read all the way through and found out that this can be lots of fun....
I have a Kenmore Elite Side by Side model number 106.51562101
1. Supply line from wall to fridge id good.
2. Switched solenoid wires and clicked on the water dispenser - water gets to ice maker no problem - so I assume from what I have read that the valve and solenoid are good
3. Went through the diagnostics manual and the optics seem to be fine - click three times close door, open door, light on for 5 seconds
4. Tried the jumper wire on three occasions and never got the unit to cycle.
I am assuming now that my next step is to purchase and install a new unit. Can someone back me up on this before I spend $100 - $150? Any help is really appreciated. This is a great thread and has tons of solid info in it.
Thanks,
MJ
