It could be a bad switch inside the ice maker or a broken wire from the ice maker plug to the water inlet valve.

There is a switch inside the ice maker which closes for a few seconds during the ice maker harvest and provides power to the water inlet valve. Did you check it? Did you check for continuity the wire form the ice make plug in the freezer to the water valve? Gene.

what you are reading is floating voltage. Put the ice maker in to harvest and see what you get.
