Are you referring to the wiring harness as it connects to the ice maker module head or to the freezer wiring?

[richseattle56]

I did get the icemaker installed customer just called said no ice. The old ice maker had a reading of 73 ohms betweem L & M, from the tech sheet I should get 4400 to 8800 Ohms. I suggested the customer defrost the freezer as the icemaker has been out for about 3 months, when I replaced the icemaker I did not notice the fill tube iced up. And on the original call I got approximatly 300 ohms between V & N. Which the external fill valve is checked between V & N, and that checks out. Any suggestions. No water entering icemaker.

... reading of 73 ohms betweem L & M,

yes, if the ON/OFF Switch is OFF

[richseattle56]

the on /off switch is on 74 ohms

[RegUS_PatOff]

the on /off switch is on 74 ohms

No that was the old icemaker, I guess I did not make that clear. So there is a new icemaker in the freezer. Where to check

[RegUS_PatOff]

same tests as the "old" IceMaker ...
Do you have the tech sheet ?

How to test a Whirlpool modular ice maker:

[richseattle56]

_{Tried to jump and nothing, that is a manual harvest. Only getting 1.6 V between L & N. Getting 0 ohms between V & N. Coustomer said when the icemaker went out it spit a bunch of water out on the floor, a couple gallons. Any ideas Model # JFC2089HES. Brand new ice maker. Is it possible the new icemaker is defective, The 1.6V is confussing.}

... 1.6 V between L & N
... 0 ohms between V & N

1) Fuse in the IceMaker Wiring Harness

2) 0 OHMs would indicate a short in the Water Valve or wiring (would cause Fuse to blow)

Is there a way to test the fuse? The water when the icemaker stopped working an indication. The 0 ohms between V & N anything? Should I replace both?

1) do a continuity test on the (Black ?) wire of the Harness
2) 0 OHMs would indicate a short in the Water Valve or wiring (would cause Fuse to blow)

3) yes, if your tests were done correctly

[richseattle56]

The black wire and what else.

[richseattle56]

I got 0 ohms between V & N

[RegUS_PatOff]

The black wire and what else.

the other end of the Black wire in the Harness adapter as shown in the picture

I got 0 ohms between V & N

0 OHMs would indicate a short in the Water Valve or wiring
