Using Job Aid 4322658A for the R-92 model ice-maker
wont make Ice.
Tube isn't frozen. Blew through it.
Optics seem to be working fine. Did diagnostics per the job aid
Pulled the maker out and jumped T and H.
The bar moved some but didn't cycle around like i had suspected. The bar went from what i consider 3:00(dead level fingers pointing at you) to about 5:00. The heaters didn't come on, or at least it seemed they didn't. Im not sure how warm/hot they get. Water didn't start to fill. Reset the refrigerator by unplugging. Ran the jumper test again with no success. I am concerned that I didn't have the jumper inserted the correct amount.
suggestions or any help would be appreciated.
thank you

Modular ice maker with optics diagnostic tips.
The optics transmitter led should be steady when you push the flapper in. If you push the flapper in and push in the door switch, the light will go out. The electronics has changed the led driver to emit infrared, not visible . If you have a bad module in the ice maker, voltage and resistance readings at the module pins will be false or intermittent. Best to check power to the icemaker connector black to white while pushing in the switches, power confirms a bad icemaker.

If you pushed in the flapper, got a steady led, then pushed the door switch closed, then got a blank led, you should get 115 volts at the black and white connector wires. If not, you probably have bad optics.

The service data sheet should be tucked behind the front kick panel.

So here is what i figured out. Optics are good, icemaker is bad, meter i was using was in need of a hammer. The meter was way off. not sure how or why but it was. The meter measured 120v in a normal electrical outlet, but only measured 34 at my icemaker connector. I used a different meter and determined that my voltage was correct at the icemaker. Now i have a spare set of optics to sell.
Thanks for the help!!
