Hoping someone may have an idea on this one...I have the typical Whirlpool ice maker part number 2198597. It stopped making ice so I did some testing on it...
Resistance
L-H = 72.7
L-M = 77.0
V-N = 175.0

Volts
L & N = 0 V
T & H = 0 V
L & V = 0 V


With the ice maker removed I tested the wiring at female connector that connects to the ice maker.
W & B = 95V
B & G = 95V

So I came to the conclusion that the motor was bad and replaced it with a new Module Motor. I connected everything back up and did some checks

L & N = 95V
T & H = 95V
L & V = 95V

Put the unit back into the freezer and sat down waiting for the first drop of ice cubes. Sadly nothing was happening. Curious I pulled the ice maker from its mount and did a multimeter test while still connected.

L & N = 0V
T & H = 0V
L & V = 0v

I then ran a continuity test on the ice maker harness thinking there maybe a break in the wiring harness. All wires showed continuity between the two ends.

By this time the ice maker warmed up and thinking I had not made a proper connection re-connected it. I then performed a multimeter test and once again saw power at the various test points. Waited 15 minutes of being in the freezer and ran a multimeter test and the unit had no power again all readings were 0.

Did it one more time once the unit warmed up and reconnected power after 10 - 15 mins no power

Really appreciate any thoughts on what could be causing the ice maker to shut down when it gets cold.
