Icemaker filled but will not eject. Freezer temp 0 deg. Optical sensor shows solid red when flapper closed. No volts at TP, no volts at Molex connector. Ideas?

Sounds like there is two separate problems. The first problem is a bad water inlet valve and, very likely, the second problem is a bad ice maker. - The water inlet valve Part number: AP4454644 - The ice maker Part number: AP3182733 Here are the breakdown diagrams and Replacement parts for WHIRLPOOL GC5SHEXNS03 REFRIGERATOR | AppliancePartsPros.com Gene.
