Thank you for your help.

Jim,

I'm still sure you're needing the board kit,

But, I don't have a wiring diagram simillar to yours, there may have been an engineering change, but, again I'm sure the new kit will solve your problem.

Make sure you install the complete(both boards) kit.

:cool: :cool: :cool:

I guessing here that my problem is power coming into the ice maker not the actual ice maker its self. Where does this cable come from?

thanks

Jim,

You most likely have a bad "Reciever Board" on the automated ice dispenser system.

The easiest way to test the board / ice maker is:

*** Remove power to the refrigerator ***

This will be a live voltage test,so be careful...

Remove the reciever board assembly( the control on the right side of the freezer wall),

Disconnect the wire harness from the printed circuit board.

With a jumper wire(paper clip seems to work best),

install the jumper wire between pin 3 and pin 4 on the wire harness connector,
(usually black with a white stripe and black with a yellow stripe).

Restore power to the refrigerator and check for 120 VAC at the black and white wires at the ice maker wall harness.

If 120 VAC is present, order and replace the control board kit,

Part number: AP3137510
Part number: AP3137510


If you still have the wrong voltage, you'll need to check the harness, for loose connections or frayed wiring.

Good Luck,
:) :) :)
