here is how you test the ice maker. look at the ice maker, and look at the fingers that knock the ice out. they should be looking at you, and be just above the horizon of the ice maker. if not replace the motor module. if all is well there, you will see a black hose where the water goes into the ice maker, squeeze it, and if it is hard, defrost it with the blow dryer, if it is soft, replace the emitter kit. that is the flashing light, and the reciever on the other side. tom

This is part from Sears website for my model. Fingers are touching cubes, which makes me think it's the motor. we had a thunderstorm last night and power went out a couple of times. The power cycling may have taken the motor out.

Complete icemaker 8 cubes (as of 4/11/08)

Part # 2198597

Alot of times the motor gets weak, or the heater goes to open circuit. But, you should have water after the test. It could very well be the water valve. Tom

BTW, I did squeeze the fill tube and it is not frozen, and the in-door water dispenser works fine.

Thanks Gene and Tom:
I decided to take the module assemby off the unit and it didn't take long to spot the problem. The copper contacts for the rear heater pin had eroded, probably from arcing from a poor connection. I put a bead of solder on both sides of the affected contact and I'm back in the High Life again. While I'm at it, can you guys tell me why that particular unit is so much higher than the rest.
Thanks again,
David
