4 y/o Maytag side by side...the icemaker seems to have stopped between cycles..as the ejection fingers are straight up and the on/off wire lever is halfway down. The problem started with what appeared to be a water over fill one night. After clean up, the icemaker worked again for a few days then stopped in the mid cycle position. The water and ice dispensers in the door work fine. Currently the icemaker tray is dry as it never rotated to the fill stage. So, thinking ...water inlet valve, or control head or the entire icemaker? Can anyone help. Thanks Bruce

You are very welcome. Those ejector fingers should never stall there, so it is either broken or not getting power.

Well, still going to the store for ice.....aaargggg!! I have replaced the entire icemaker. Had to use the base plate, pigtail wiring harness and wire arm from the old one. IT STILL DOESN T WORK. I have removed it and checked connections 3 times. I don t appear to have 120 v between the L & N test points. Tried checking the pigtail socket and get nothing. When I use an electronic current tester (the yellow thing that beeps, when current is present....I get power through the black wire...but only up to the point where it has a white ceramic looking piece that clips into the bottom of the ice tray....(possible heater maybe?). Does the fill valve supply the 120v to the icemaker wiring harness? Could the pigtail harness be bad? Have to get a new multimeter (today), to try resistance checks. Hope someone can help.....already into this for 100 plus and nothing.
