Permanent removal of ice maker from Whirlpool

Have tried removing ice maker, but compressor won’t run afterwards. Does the connector (fridge side) need a jumper plug?

Looks like the icemaker includes the defrost thermostat so you are stuck with it.

Thanks for the help. If I had that spec sheet, I would’ve figured it out. Thanks again!:smiley:
