The wiring harness pops out. I used a flat head screwdriver and pressed down until it cleared the area it locked in. The other side, on the back of the freezer, I helf the back while I squeezed both sides and pulled gently. It took a liitle time, but it came off eventually.:)

I have a Kenmore Elite M# 10657706701, Ice maker not getting wayer, The inlet tube was froze up, thawed i out but still not filling with water, Water despencer works..I took module apart, the contacts on the board that the heater clicks into are burnt, heater works and I put 120 v directly to motoe and it works...The IF light...when door is ioen it supposed to flash right? when door is closed is light supposed to be off or on continous I think the module needs replaced due to the contact points for the heater but would this keep the unit from turning on the water Valve
Also the LED is puzzling, when door is open it blinks, if I close the little flap so LED isnt blocked with door still open light is solid, with LED flap closed and I turn door light off LED goes off, one time I did this..I duct taped led door closed so no obstruction and taped door switch closed and watched LED..nothing for about 3 minutes then it started blinking and kept blinking for about 5 minutes, then I covered LED light ..it still kept blimnking, I took tape off door switch and light went solid, I can not simulate this again..with door switch closed and led unostructed no ld light at all until I cover led eye then it will blink but ice maker during all of this did nothing and no water came into IM

Hi Gene,
Thanks for getting back with me..after reviewing all the posts on here and doing my own diagnostics I came up with the same solution, I ordered a new ice maker from appliancepro and it works great..not sure why the fill tube was drozen up unless the Ice Maker malfunctioned and kept the valve on to long but Valve is workng properly at this time.
Thabnks again..

I'm having similar issues to those described in this thread. Water in door works, the motor to move the ice into the dispenser works, but ice is no longer being made. We have a Whirlpool ED5VHGXML12A , manufactured 12/2005. No water moves into the mold, and the lever never moves to break the ice loose. I have checked for clogging in the tube, and it does not look to be clogged. I have checked that there is 120vac between L & N, but I haven't tried jumpering any of other test points because I wasn't sure what a safe way of doing so is. Also, it looks like the wiring harness is molded into the side of the refrigerator, is this true? or is it just a really stubborn connector?

What should I try from here?

I swapped the leads on the water valve, and the icemaker filled up. Before I buy the replacement ice maker, should I test the fusible link / thermal fuse, assuming mine has one? It looks like mine does, but I'm not sure where the black wire terminates into the control module (haven't taken it apart yet). Also not sure how the wiring harness comes off.

Thanks for the advice so far!
