Hi Scott,

The first thing I would do: check if the shut off arm is in down position.

Then remove the head cover and check for 120V between the "L" & "N" test points.

If there is 120V - short the "T" & "H" with an insulated piece of wire to run the motor.

If the motor does not run - replace the module assembly or the whole ice maker.

If the motor runs - replace the thermostat.

Leave the jumper wire in for a half of a revolution and remove it. The water valve should be energized in the last half of the revolution.

Post your findings and I will provide the right part number(s).

Gene.

I found the water in the supply line in the top of the freezer to be froze. After thawing out wvwerything worked great. Thanks.
I did break the swing door on the inside left of the fridge that closes when the freezer door is closed, if you could help me with the part # that I can order. Thanks again.
