Also if you order the ice maker from Appliance Parts Pros, there is nothing to lose. If it would not solve the problem, you can return it because of their very friendly return policy. Gene.

Normally I would agree except that it was working fine until I replaced the primary valve only because it was leaking water. Seems it must be related. Could the new valve have shorted out the ice maker?

Gene,
When I short "T" and "H" nothing happens. The motor doesn't run.

Sorry for the delay. Using an insulated piece of wire (14 GA), short points "T" & "H" to run the motor. Leave the jumper in for a half of a revolution and remove it. The water valve should be energized in the last half of the revolution.
Post the results.
Gene.

Gene. Okay. I checked and there is 120 VAC between the "L" and "N" check points.

The primary water valve on my Kenmore side-by-side developed an crack in the plastic and started leaking water. I replaced it with a new valve and now the ice maker will not fill with water. The door water dispenser works fine. I switched the wires on the secondary water valve as suggested in another post and the ice maker fills with water when the door switch is pressed. Do I have a defective new primary valve or might there be another issue? Thanks.
