Hi Gene and thanks for the reply.

After I posted i realized that my voltmeter was acting up and that I did indeed have power to the icemaker module. So with the optics LED testing OK, but no movement when jumpering the module to cycle I felt pretty confident I had a defective module, one is on order.

Hi Again Gene

the black wire has continuity, so I think the harness is fine.

KitchenAid side by side icemaker stopped working. Replaced filter, water runs thru the chilled water dispenser, but water is not going into the ice cube tray...the red LED light is blinking--have turned it off and on, but it continues to blink and no ice is produced Model is KSC525INSS01. Have tried the troubleshooting tips in the manual, but nothing seems to be working.

I have a KitchenAid side by side fridge (KSRP25FNSS00) with an inoperative ice make and was hoping to get some help (unit is a little over 4 years old). The LED on ice maker control (where the on/off switch is located) was initially "blinking" twice followed by a pause after the emitter door was manually held closed (kept my hand out of the way to not block the beam pathway). Since it has been awhile since changing the water filter, I changed it last night to no avail (still inop). Cycled the on/off swith many times and even unplugged the fridge for a while to reset everything; still not working. Now the LED light doesn't come on at all. Also, I tried to add water to the ice maker tray to see if it would empty into the door container but no movement at all from the ice maker (it's very hard to see where the ice tray actually is when attempting to pour water in). Any help is appreciated.

Hello,
I'm the guy that posted about the inoperative icemaker on KitchenAid Model # KSRP25FNSS00 above. I changed the optics kit per Gene's suggestion but the unit still does not produce ice.

I troubleshot using the Job Aid for the In-Door Ice System and the optics test was good, jumpered the motor and that checked good, inspected fill tube for ice (used a hairdryer and even inserted a looped piece of wire and found no obstruction).

It appears as if the problem is there is no water fill into the ice maker so I'm thinking it may be a defective water valve, but wanted to first check with you before I order another part on a hunch (the water dispenser in the door works fine but the ice maker gets no water -- what are your thoughts)?

To further troubleshoot the water valve, can I simply "swap" the electrical connectors (after unplugging), then re-power up and depress the door water dispenser to see if the ice tray fills? I'm thinking this should enable me to see if the valve that send water to the ice maker is in-fact stuck closed or if it works I would think it's another electrical part (not sure where to go if it still doesn't work)? Any suggestions as well as the training guide (pdf manual) to troubleshoot and replace the water valve is appreciated.

One final question: I inspected the water valve to make sure the electrical connectors were proroperly installed and both were good. However, I was looking at how to disconnect the water lines and couldn't figure it out. My valve is blue plastic and has a black collar on each line. Am I to depress these black collars to disengage the lines? Again, any assistance you can provide is much appreciated.
