yep its frozen.
ok i cleared out as much as i could see but still no water flow. could the freeze be deeper down? Should i sit with a hair dryer for a long time? or just switch the cords and hit the automatic water dispenser untill it pushes through?

Ok. now i am really clueless....and frustrated. I cleaned out all of the ice inside the fill tube. disconnected the line going up the back of the freezer onthe outside and took another little peice of tubing and blew water from the back of the freezer on the outside into the freezer on the inside, simulating the outside line and the fill tube. I switched the wires so that the water on the door pushes water up the tube on the outside of the freezer and with the tube disconnected on the outside it works just dandy. pushes water up the tube and out the top. But every time i hook up the tube in the back of the freezer it woln't push water out into the freezer? I am totall clueless? i mean i push the water lever on the door and pull the tube out and it starts shooting water everywhere, but as soon as i put it back in the water stops? how is that possible? makes no sense?

Everything works up until that elbow. I tdidn't disconnect it at the bottom and blow air through to the top. I'll try that i guess but...

And with it connected to everything but the top elbow it blows water?

With the wires swapped on the valve, the water dispenser will send water to the ice maker? If yes then replace the valve. If not, no.

the answer is no. I can't get water to send to the ice maker regardless.
as soon as i hook it up to the back of the freezer is stops pushing water to up the tube. as soon as i disconnect it, at the top, it pushes water up the top.?
thoughts?
