In door ice maker not making Ice

Refrigerator & Freezer Repair

I have read the forums here extensively and below are the results as well as other symptoms of my ice maker not making ice.

  1. Water dispenser works.

  2. Switched the connections on the solenoids and water is filling tray when I press on water dispenser.

  3. Before I did the above test I followed instructions posted on another thread as far as the laser is concerned. Please note the different result when the connections were switched in step 2.

  4. No red LED whatsoever. But , if I unplugged refrigerator and plugged back in there was a solid red LED lit. I immediately shut the door and reopened and red LED was still lit. If I shut the door and left door shut for 15 minutes when I opened the door after those 15 minutes there was NO LED lit.

  5. With the connections on the solenoid switched when there was water to the Ice Tray via the water dispenser supply I noticed the LED was blinking when the Ice bucket was out. I did not note any pattern, just blinking continuous at same rate.

  6. I put connections on solenoid back to normal positions. Plugged in refrigerator and LED acted as it is explained in step 4.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
