Sorry about that. The receiver board is behind the panel on the right side. Remove the three screws and you are there.

Well I guess I found the problem. When I removed the three screws, which also acts like the on/off switch for the ice maker, I found a nice round black mark on the inside wall of its compartment. There is also a nce black mark on the sensor board, which to me indicated that some how this shorted out. Any nice guess on how much one of these sensor boards will cost? I will try to replace tis 1st to see if this fixes the problem.

Okay, afer some research I found that this board can cost over $60. If this is the case then can I just follow your directions and jumper the black/white and black wires at the sesnor and just reconnect the IM to make ice. Will by passing the sensor allow water to flow into the IM? Thanks

Yes it looks like anyplace I look, the sensor board set is over $60, but if you want the ice maker to work, it is a cheap fix. You can jumper the wires to test it, but without the sensor boards the IM will never stop running, and will not know when the door was opened (safety feature) so I would not consider it a permanent fix. I have replaced plenty of these boards, $124 for the part and $137 for labor. It's up to you. Be careful which ever way you go, voltage hurts.

Hello Brian, long time no talk. Well I replaced the IM motherboard and the unit is harvesting ice. However the water tray is not filling up as far as it use to. I check the supply to the refrigerator and it is working fine. (Good pressure) I also removed the water filter, which was very old, and I get the same results. It seems that the water is flowing thru the whole system very slowly. Even the water dispenser on the door is slow. Could there be a buildup of calcium in the line? If so, what is the best way to flush it out? Or do you have any other suggestions?

Glad to here you have ice now. As for the slow water, the only parts common to the dispenser and the IM are the line to and from the filter and the valve assembly itself. I would not suspect a buildup inside the system because really there is nothing to build up to. You said you removed the filter and nothing changed, so I am guessing you ran the dispenser with the filter in bypass. If having the filter out didn't improve the situation, the only possible problems would be the source connection and the valve assembly. If your water connection is to a valve on your wall, that is probably OK, but if you are using a pierce valve, that is most likely your problem. If those are OK, the valve is next. You can make small adjustments to your IM by taking the module cover off and look for a little while plastic screw sticking out on the right side. This is the fill adjustment and can give you some (not much) adjustment to the length of time the IM fill valve is turned on. But if you are getting slow water at the dispenser, I would check out the inlet and valve.
