Default Kenmore Ice Maker Not Making Ice
Model Number: 253.7419240R   Brand: Kenmore   Age: 1 - 5 years   

Of course its just over a year and out of warranty, but i have a kenmore model number 253.7419240R and the ice maker just quit making ice. it is not getting water to the ice maker. the water feed solenoid has been replaced, there is plenty water pressure, no blockage or ice buildup on feed tube in freezer. seems to be a problem with sending the signal to the solenoid to feed water to the maker. i checked all three micro switches in the maker and all are functioning, everything in the ice maker works except its not getting water. any help would be appreciated, tired of spending money on parts that arent the problem. thanks.

Does the ice maker harvest?

Did you check the wire harness?

- The part number for the ice maker is AP3160597
