When dispenser is pressed, solenoid engages (clunk) motor sounds as if it is trying to run, but 90% of the time it won't turn - replaced the motor and the solenoid on the advice of the local parts guy (was he motivated to sell a part?) - problem is exactly the same. I figure there must be something else, just not sure what it could be. every other part is pretty much and electronic part that i figure would either be dead or alive (not intermittent?).

i may have been better off to leave it dead in the first place at this stage. Already down a chunk of cash on a fairly old machine (9 years).
Thanks in advance for help.

Thanks Gene. replaced the part. fixed the ice maker problem, but now the light on the front door doesn't work... but i can live with that. based on the fact that the build date for the 'new part' they sent was 2002, i presume these are all old replacement boards and the light problem is just a different issue with this board (the old board makes the light work but not the ice maker on double check... argh.) Wish i would have come here first as it would have saved me nearly $100 on other parts and much time. thanks again.
