Pull the ice make out but keep its harness plugged it. Remove the ice maker head cover and check the voltage between the "L" & "N" check points. Make sure the test probes are 1/2" in. If there is 120VAC then using an insulated piece of wire (14 GA), short points "T" & "H" to run the motor. The bottom of the ice maker should get hot. Leave the jumper in for a half of a revolution and remove it. The water valve should be energized in the last half of the revolution.
Post the results.
Gene.

Hi, following this one as I have the same symptoms. Voltage between "L" & "N" is only 33VAC. For what it's worth I can intermittently get through the rest of the test jumping "T" & "H" (motor, heat and water), I suppose the low voltage is tied to the random success. Where does that point? Thanks, Pete

Pete,
What is the complete model number of the refrigerator?
Gene.

I have the same 33VAC with icemaker unplugged. 120V at the wall, must be a problem with harness or connections, I don't see anything else in the path. Thanks for your help Gene, I'll post my findings.

Wanted to close the loop on my fix and thank Gene and the forum. As I traced the harness through the cabinet I noted the fan in the freezer compartment appeared to have worn through an insulating paper between the fan base and the switch or thermostat below it. I put a piece of rubber between the two and moved on. Moving to the connections in the top of the fridge compartment I pulled the white molex connector apart and found 94VAC between black and white wires. Reconnecting that piece I now had 94 volts at the connected ice maker where I had previously seen 33 VAC. The ice maker has been working for 2 days now, I would offer either there was indeed some sort of short at the freezer fan or more likely reseating the molex connector where it enters the fridge compartment ceiling made for a better connection. Thanks again Gene. --Pete

You are welcome Pete. I'm glad you were able to diagnose and fix it.
Good job!
Thank you for the feed back and good luck with your refrigerator.
Gene.
