Measuring the incoming voltage to the optic boards can prove the boards are bad or can lead to some other problem. - The PC boards kit Part number: AP3137510

Marshal Well, the optic boards were not the problem. I've replaced the main unit and now the optic boards and still no ice. I just ordered a new water valve, we'll see what happens when I put that in. I don't think there is much left to replace! Marshal

Marshal Well....it's been 48 hours since I replaced the valve and still nothing. So, let's recap what I've done. Original problem was no ice. I replaced the icemaker unit, when I took the old one out I noticed the plastic shaft was broken and the gears were barely making contact with each other if at all, thought that was it, no dice, no ice. Next I replaced the optical sensors, still no ice. Next I replaced the valve and then just to be sure a new water filter. Forty eight hours later still no ice. I'm now thinking it's something simple I'm just overlooking. Ice maker is on, water is on, optical sensor is working, freezer temp is zero. Maybe something needs to be reset or the icemaker timer adjusted ...? Any ideas are welcome, I'm still trying to avoid a service call and those pesky wife comments. Marshal

Marshal,
Have you checked the plastic water feeding tube into the ice maker? It can be frozen.

Gene. I initially used a hair dryer to heat it up and turned the unit off and it brought the temperature up to about 50 degrees. I also ran a flexible plastic wire about 6 inches up into water tube. Where would it be frozen and what is the best way to make for sure? Marshal
