Hey!

Thank You

Is your ice maker mounted on left side of freezer or way back?

Posted

Do you still have motor out?

Do you have a meter for testing?

Posted

Motor: Check resistance of terminals where purple and light blue wires were attached. Should be 4 ohms +\- 20%, if not replace motor. 

 

Solenoid: Check resistance of terminals where blue with white stripe and light blue wires were attached. Should be 34 ohms +\- 20%, if extremely high or low replace

Ok some electrical testing needs done to determine if it's the auger motor, solenoid, dispenser board or power board. 

 

Does water dispenser work?
