I have a Whirlpool side-by-side refrigerator (M/N ED5THAXMS10) that's ~6 years old. The ice maker stopped producing ice several months ago. I routinely replace the water filter & am not experiencing flow issues from the water dispenser. I removed the panel from the ice making compartment and confirmed there is no ice being produced and no ice jammed in the ice-mold or ejector teeth. I confirmed the on/off switch within the freezer compartment is on, and also the infrared detector is going on/off so I assume it's working. So I was thinking the solenoid valve to the ice maker's supply line wasn't operating and I could switch it with the water dispenser's solenoid valve to test the theory. However, the electrical connectors are sized differently to prevent one from doing this. I wanted to get any feedback I could from those with more experience before I purchase the inlet water valve kit. Anything else I should test? Any part that's known to fail prematurely on this model?

Thanks in advance,
Colin

when i open the freezer door, the light next to the on/off switch blinks twice and then repeats the cycle. If I then depress the flap on the other (which would be depressed by the ice bin if the door were closed) then light stays on continuously.

I had to purchase a multimeter, so took a little while to test. I tested between pins N and L, and got a reading of 1.22 V DC. The reading didn't vary if the flapper was open or closed. Is the jumper something I'd need to buy?

the multimeter I bought didn't have an option to switch b/w them, and auto-detects/displays AC or DC. It showed 120 VAC on the house outlet, but was picking it up as DC when I tested the icemaker. I borrowed another meter that could be switched b/w them, and it tested 106 VAC at the black and white pins. It didn't matter if the flap was open or closed, 106 VAC in both cases.

i removed the receiver and tried to test the voltage at the adapter/connector. the holes were pretty small, so wasn't certain I was making contact with the leads, but never measured any voltage. on a side note, the icemaker fill the mold with water and made ice for the first time, however, i checked several hours later and found the ejector teeth frozen into the cubes. i was pretty certain i had seen the ejector teeth in relatively vertical position while they were in the freezing process, so I removed the unit and got the cubes melted and tried it again. i checked a couple times quickly and confirmed the ejector teeth were up while the ice was forming, but found them frozen in the cubes several hours later.
