Recently water inlet to icemaker froze causing water to spray inside freezer. Removed assembly, thawed and reassebled. 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.

How does malfunction of either of those parts result in 0 volts at the molex connector?

Voltage not an issue anymore. Was looking for vDC instead of vAC. Replacing icemaker.

The frozen water line, you mentioned earlier, points to the problem with the water inlet valve.
