I couldn't figure out how to remove the connectors. I didn't want to break anything. The icemaker is working fine. I read a bunch of threads here about the water valve, but am not sure if that is the culprit. Any ideas on where to start troubleshooting. I checked the filter and tried with the filter plug and still no luck. When you press the water button inside the fridge you hear a low buzzing sound. Not quite as loud as when it was working. Thanks.

Remove the wires from the water dispenser solenoid (yellow) and check the solenoid for continuity. Check for 120 VAC between these wires while the dispenser calls for water. Post the results.
