Jumper T & H, make sure Ice maker is not interrupting eyes, unplug or kill power with with breaker, allow at least 15 seconds, restore power to unit. Leave doors closed. After 10 seconds open freezer door (the light on the optics board should be solid, if not, wait 1 minute and retry). Hold door switch and the flap on the optics board closed, after the solid red light goes out it should blink with the door switch closed, and should not do anything with the door switch open.

If the light is blinking with the door switch closed (lights off) it should be in harvest mode and the motor should start working. If the motor does not start rotating you have a bad module. If the motor does start moving, remove the jumper after the ejector blades have reached 6 o'clock. it should finish it's cycle around 2 o'clock. it should try to fill around 12-1 o'clock i believe, I'd try to test for power at the water valves. should get 120 volts for a few seconds. if not then you could still have a bad module. If you do get power to the valve than you have a bad water valve.

Hope this helps

Okay, so I did the following:
1. Jumpered T & H
2. Pulled the power for 15-20 seconds, then plugged it back in
3. Waited 10-15 seconds, then opened the door. The optics were blinking (2 blinks)
4. Pressing the door switch and the optic flap gives no light
5. Pressing just the optic flap gives a solid light

At no point did the harvesting mode start. Repeated this process after a couple of minutes. When jumpering T & H, I'm using 14 gauge wire with 1/2" exposed.

I just replaced the water valve, so I'm hoping we can rule that out for now. Sounds like the module. Is there anything in the icemaker that could cause this? I'd hate to order another module, and then have to turn around and order a whole new icemaker. Any other diagnostics I can try?

It's possible you're not making good contact from t/h, if the unit senses the thermostat closed when it's powered up the board should go into harvest. Pull the ice maker and check the timer knob on the front of the module, if it's broken/loose/etc then that's probably your issue, and a new module should fix it. It sounds like your optics are working as intended.
