I just bought a used Kenmore side by side fridge with in door ice and water dispenser. I was told the ice maker wasn't working when I got it, no big deal, but I'd like to fix it.

I just got it today, so I don't have the water lines hooked up yet, I need to do some plumbing work first. But when I press the ice button, there is no noise or anything.

I opened up the door and held the door switch down and tried again. The auger in the ice bucket isn't turning. The solenoid that operates the crushed/cubed ice function also seems to not be working, which is throwing me.

I guess both the motor and solenoid could be broken, in my head it seems more likely for some third part to be rendering the others non-functional.

Thoughts? Suggestions?

I should note I briefly had water hooked up. The water dispenser worked fine. There was a leak in the plumbing so I didn't leave it hooked up long enough to see if the ice maker itself was producing ice.

Also, where the heck does kenmore usually put their model number stickers? I've looked all over.

Ice maker isn't working either. Got all the plumbing hooked up today. Is there some element that controls all three perhaps?

I have a Kennmore and the model sticker is in the fridge. Open the door and it's on the left side just inside
