I ve jumped the ice maker (to simulate ice harvest) but it doesn't cycle.

Please, describe how did you jump the ice maker.
Pull the ice maker out. Looking at the ice maker head from the mold and heater assembly (back of the head), locate the slot for the shut-off arm (old design) in the left upper corner of the head. This slot is for the on-off switch inside the head. Using a flat screwdriver, try to turn it counterclockwise. Put everything back together and give it a try.
Good luck. Ice maker P/N: AP6017832 Jumped the ice maker to harvest ice 1. Turned power off at circuit breaker 2. Removed ice bin 3. Removed inner door cover/housing that covers ice maker (2 philips screws) 4. Removed ice maker head cover 5. Inserted wire in holes T and H to harvesting ice (Picture) 6. Reinserted ice bin to close switch on emitter board 7. Turned power back on 8. Since the inner door panel is off I closed the switches that extinguished the interior lights 9. Watched and waited ....... nothing... On-off switch inside the head (Picture) Inserted screwdriver. Switch turns clockwise then counterclockwise. Nothing ..... 347 views ...... Thoughts?

I'm also about to order the LED boards for our Whirlpool which is also not making ice. Hate throwing money at parts without being able to actually test the suspect parts to determine if that is the issue or not. Gets expensive really quick.

These boards basically monitor the ice in the ice bin and tell the ice maker when to make ice. I'm expecting my control board to be delivered on Thursday. If that will solve my issue I will have a spare /new set of emitter boards to give you (I purchased a set and was given a set after ordering). The boards I have are W10296530 and W10180607. If they fit your set up ..... let me know. They are yours ..... Ken Ken.Kmiec@cox.net

Control board arrived at 700 last night via Fedex. I must have been the last delivery. Any way, Appliance Parts Pro get zero stars for packaging. This is the 3rd part I've ordered and Appliance Parts Pro still must have a shortage of bubble wrap and tape. Basically, a $213 board in a box, but at least this one was in a clear plastic bag. Haven't installed it yet. Need to empty part of the frig to reduce weight so I can pull out the frig and also lay down a 1/4 inch sheet of plywood to protect the floor. I am hoping this solves my no ice issue and I can then return the other parts. CitadelBlue attached the following image(s):

Thanks for the offer. I've called a repairman and he says the ice maker needs to be replaced. The part has been ordered. Will let you know once it arrives and we have ice....
