Ok i have gotten the module to do a semi-successful harvest - the tray didnt fill. (still no water)
I successfully
jumped the t&H prts on the module
the teeth started moving -
powered off before the 10 position
undid the jumper.
plugged the fridge back in
waited about 10 seconds
opened freezer door
optic light solid for about 5 seconds then off
however still no water to the cube tray
this morning i looked and the teeth are still moving (there in a different spot than last night when i went to bed)
Not sure were to go from here?
is it the temp sensor not thinking the freezer is cold enough?
is it the water inlet valve on the back of the fridge, even though i get water thru the indoor dispenser?
Thanks for All the Help so far

Swap the wires on the water valve solenoids and push the water dispenser lever. Open the freezer door and check if there is water in the ice maker. If the answer is Yes, then the water valve is bad.

I'm new to this forum, and not very familiar with how it works. I have a Kenmore(Whirlpool) side by side refrigerator with ice bin in the door. The ice maker would not turn off, and the electric eye was not working. I ordered the replacement two piece circuit boards that are shown in this forum, and replaced the boards. However, while waiting on the parts to arrive, the ice maker stopped making ice. Now that I have replaced the boards, the LED lights blink like they should, but no ice is being made. Is there a way to trigger the icemaker to cycle? I'm thinking maybe it got hung up some how when the unit wouldn't turn off. I did run a blow dryer on it in an attempt to melt any ice that might be clogging the mechanism up.

i looked at the valve and there are 2 connectors to the valve -
i assume 1 for indoor the other for the freezer
when i take the connectors off though they are different sizes so i cannot simmply switch them- also i thought about switching the water tubes but of course they are different sizes also.
Any ideas?

I did run a blow dryer on it in an attempt to melt any ice that might be clogging the mechanism up. Check the water feeding tube into the ice maker for an ice inside. Perform the ice maker troubleshooting as described in one of our previous posts: http://forum.appliancepartspros...-maker-quit-working.html and post the results. Post the complete model number of the refrigerator. Gene.

You can try to use two pieces of insulated wire to make such connection between the wire plugs and the valve terminals. Be careful not to cross them. Gene. P.S. The solenoid for the ice maker has 1/4" plastic tube connected.
