Ice maker just quit, I have replaced water valves and still not working. The green light goes on when you first turn on maker then it starts flashing, What could be the problem.
Thanks, Bill

Thanks, Bill Bill, The flashing green light indicates a failure in the control, thermistor or the ice maker is in a harvest mode. The on-off rocker switch allows the
icemaker to be turned off. When the switch
is set to on, a green LED on the right side of
the cover will light to show power is on. The
LED is also used to indicate certain icemaker
fault conditions, such as an open or shorted
thermistor, or a harvest cycle longer than 30
minutes. When a fault occurs, the LED will
blink 1/2 second on, 1/2 second off indefinitely until the icemaker is turned offIf It's not in a harvest mode, you'll need a new ice maker assembly. Part number: AP4345120
Here is a copy of the service test instructions for your ice maker. Service Diagnostics
During the first 15 seconds that power
is first applied to the icemaker, the Service
Diagnostic Test mode may be entered. The
service mode is entered by pushing the feeler arm from the “out” position to the “in” position and back again 3 times and only 3 times within 15 seconds.
Note
: If the icemaker has already started a
harvest cycle and the arm is moving, it may be impossible to properly move the arm and enter
the service mode without allowing it to reset
and powering up again.
The service diagnostic mode consists of a harvest cycle followed by a water
fill.
The harvest cycle is entered immediately, regardless
of icemaker temperature or arm position.
While in the harvest cycle in the service mode,
the heater will remain on for a minimum of 20
seconds. The water fill cycle will initiate the
first fill (5.1 seconds) without waiting for the mold
to
“prechill”. Only one water fill occurs during
the service mode, whether the thermistor has reached 39.2
°F (4°C) or not. The icemaker will
exit the service diagnostic test on its own and enter the normal freeze cycle.
NOTE
: When replacing an icemaker, the Power
On test will probably occur since the mold temperature will be above 50
°F (10°C). While
in the power on test, the Service Diagnostic test can be initiated and will override the power on
test mode. Good Luck,
:) :) :)

Is the feeler arm what kicks out the ice?

As the ice accumulates in the bucket, the cubes push against the paddle,the paddle eventually moves "in" and shuts off the ice maker until it moves "out" and restarts the icemaking procedure. The arm that actually kicks out the ice is called a "rake"arm, and is actually part of the icemaker mold assembly . If you click on the part number in my last post, You'll see the difference, if you click on the pictures near the bottom of the parts screen. :cool: :cool: :cool:
