Let's discuss Icemaker problems:
When an icemaker doesn't work, there are a couple of things to consider:
This is the old Whirlpool style icemaker.
You can actually advance a slot in the gear shown in red on the above diagram carefully in a counter-clockwise direction to prompt a harvest cycle, provided the unit has power. If the unit begins to spin on its own after a brief advancing, then the mold thermostat may be bad.
The newer icemakers look like this:
You must not try to turn the gear on this one, or it will be ruined! Instead, refer to the test holes on the front of the module. There is a diagram under most of the white plastic covers on the unit. Check voltage between L and N to verify voltage to unit. Jumper T to H carefully to see if the motor advances. If it does run while jumpered, the thermostat could be bad. If not, the module is bad.
