OK Bruce, sounds like the optics is good. Replace the ice maker and that should fix it. Part #2198597

Optics with door open 2 blinks; 1 sec delay - repeats. Close emitter door, LED on steady.

What would be the next step?

Thanks, Bruce

The icemaker overflowed on our K/A fridge. I turned off the water to the maker. While diagnosing the problem, I added water to the icemaker with a turkey baster and a while later I had ice. Also the optics function is normal - 2 pulses short wait, repeat. The problem determination data on APP website suggested a 3 step diagnostic. 1) H2O pressure might be low (not the case); 2) replace the valve assembly (done today finally after a busy holiday season); 3) replace the icemaker.

Replaced valve assembly, water flows to the water dispenser, no overflowing from the ice maker. However, there is no water flowing TO the icemaker itself. Could it be that the icemaker is in a cycle of "thinking" there is water in the mold and timing out the freeze time before starting the next cycle? If so, how long do I wait this thing out? Or is something else wrong. Please advise.

Thanks a lot!
Bruce
