My icemaker stopped working. I have just replaced my water inlet valve and no change. I used my test point on the module and got water into the mold. Why wont it do this buy itself?

Which part did you order? You have to replace the whole ice maker.

Yes. When the ice maker motor goes around, it's engaging a water valve switch inside and sending power to the water valve.
