I have tried to self repair my ice maker. I replaced the dual water inlet valve and still not working. The water dispensor works, but the ice maker does not. Icemaker does not get water up the tube from the inlet valve. Is their anything i'm over looking that I need to check or replace?:confused:

Stick 115 volts to the icemaker waqter solenoid, if no water goes in the icemaker, you will need to thaw out the freezer feeder hose with a hair dryer.

I applied heat to water inlet to freezer, even took water line off and blew air through it, it was clear of ice. The solenoid has 115v from the plug that goes to the dual water inlet valve. The solenoid to the door water dispensor works, but not the solenoid to the ice maker feed tube. Note:I just bought the dual water inlet valve new. What else could be the problem? Thanks for any good advice.

Swap the water valve plugs, press the water dispencer and see if the icemaker fills with water.

I did what you said, and it did work, the tray is filled with water. The solenoid I bought is brand new from this website.
