How do I initiate the ice maker test cycle for model # ZIS42NYB GE side by side to check for power to the water fill valve?

Thanks Gene, the valve tests OK, but how do I test for power getting to the valve?

If the valve is good and the water feeding tube into the ice maker is not frozen, replace the ice maker. - The ice maker Part number: AP4345120

Gene. OK, how do I check the feeding tube to be sure it isn't frozen?

You said the valve tests OK. How did you test it?
If it was just continuity test then it still can be bad. The only reliable test is to apply 120 VAC straight to the solenoid. If water will come into the ice maker then the valve is good and the feeding tube is open.
You can check the feeding tube by removing the ice maker and putting a wire through the tube.
Gene.
