Just purchased a brand new module for my ice maker that hasn’t work in a couple of years. Plug all the harnesses in after installing and nothing, no water, no noices, no signs of life at all. I have water to the dispencer. What the heck am I missing?

Do you have voltage to the ice maker? I have a Testing Modular Ice Makers that may offer some guidance to your repair. Give it a read and see it it helps.
Thanks Brian,
Didn’t take long for the module to jump to life.
A jumper wire inserted between test points T & H will bypass the bi metal thermostat and force a harvest cycle. If the motor does not run with the jumper in place, replace the module assembly. Leave the jumper wire in for the first half a revolution to verify the mold heater is working. Removing the jumper during the last half a revolution will allow the water fill valve to actuate. Failure of the mold heater to operate would indicate it needs to be replaced. An open mold heater will also prevent the water valve from operating.
