thank you for your post . I followed the instructions and pulled the plug from the back of the freezer and the one from the ice maker to the auger. I checked the purple and orange wire crimped them to make sure of a good connection . I plugged them back in and it is back working. Thanks for saving a service call!!! Much appreciated :) :)

Your welcome, have a good one

Ok I removed 4 screws and pulled the assembly out. it just came right out, which tells me the plug from assembly some how got unpluged, froze shrink????? So I pluged that back in the wall and every thing works like charm, now I can get 2 ohm and 39 ohm resistance at j7 plug wires. Thank you so much for guiding me through all this. I had no clue when started. Without your help I could never ever have fixed my fridge.

Did you unplug the connector and check resistance? If you did, that means both the augermotor and cube/crush solenoid are open, so because I doubt both are bad, take the icebucket out, and that panel that has all the screws and a square hole on the bottom left.....remove the 4 outer screws 2 on the right and 2 on the left and pull the whole assembly forward, it will only come so far, as it is pluged into the back right of the wall. inspect that plug, pull it out look at it, make sure no frozen water is inside of it, make sure it is plugged in firm, and post the results.

I checked the resistance it shows zero resistance both wires. I had digital meter and set at 200 ohm.

Do this, go to the back of the fridge, and remove the cover to the board, now check resistance at J7-2 to J7-9, should read 39ohms, then check J7-1 to J7-9 should be 2ohms....Post results... J7-1 wire is violet/black...J7-9 wire is orange. J7-1 is black/white

I checked sw. If I wiggle light stay on and when pushed little freezer light goes off. so is that good? I pulled it down from freezer wall it got org, grey and black wires on it. Terminals are covered, should I check voltage in any of those when SW is on/off position. I also removed ice tray and try to dispense ice with door close but did'nt hear solenoid click. I saw metal plate with bunch of screws in front of ice maker. Is solenoid and motor behind it?

Do this, take out your ice bucket, now close freezer door select cubed ice, and tell me if you hear a clunk when you push the arm to get cubed ice. That cluck should come from your solenoid, which is located in the assy behind the ice bucket.

Thanks for reply I will check sw when got back home and post my findings. How can I access solenoid and auger motor? is it inside the freezer? Do I need to remove any part of icemaker to access it. Also when call for ice if relay on main board is activating and putting out 120vac, you think there is still chance wire on top by hinge still not making good connection. I have no idea how this all fuctions.

If you pinched the wire connection at the top of the door, we can rule that out. Does the light inside the freezer go on and off when you play with the light switch? The auger motor goes through this switch. If the light switch seems ok, you either stil have a loose connection at the top hinge, or a bad augermotor. When you call for cubed ice, does the solenoid next to the auger motor activate?
