When the ice maker was replaced it began making ice for a month, and then stopped. Ice level light was blinking twice off and twice with flap closed. After two weeks it began making ice again, it has now stopped again. I have unplugged the refrigerator and plugged it back in again. Ice sensor is back to two blinks with one off., i.e., back to what had been doing originally. Feels like either a bad emitter or receiver, but do not know which. Any advice? Thanks, John

I can replace the entire motor unit for about the same price as the boards themselves so if they are inside the motor unit I would just do the whole unit. Thanks, FH
