wtr. dispenser good. have checked all wtr. lines-cleared. both solenoids tested 325 to 335 ohms. tube from ext. supply line to icemaker clear.
no wtr. flow from valve to icemaker. there is power to unit. motor is operational. :confused: could it be the t-stat?

How do you know he icemaker motor runs ? My best guess at this point would be: a bad fill valve contact in the icemaker control head, a broken wire from the icemaker to the fill valve . You could let the icemaker cycle or force a test cycle, and check for 120 volts on the wires to the icemaker fill valve wires, when the rake arm is in the 1 to 2 o'clock position(fill increment). You could have the proper resistance on the valve solenoid, but still have an internal failure and the valve not open, if you prefer to start there. Good Luck, :) :) :)

this morning i tested for voltage at valve during fill cycle - had 120 v.
also jumpered test holes t to h and confirmed motor was operational.
so i am now confident i need a new wtr. fill valve. thanks again-probably
saved 150.00 on repair!
