From my reading, an ice maker will operate, flow water at 20 PSI water

theres flow, and pressure. they arent the same...

the solenoid valve is the most likely failed part


My experience is opposite yours. I'd replace the solenoid last. Wen he
filled it by hand it did not rotate and eject the cubes.

buying just the icemaker without the solenoid saves little money, and the solenoid purchased seperately is much more expensive.

so buy a ice maker kit that includes both, and begin by replacing the solenoid valve its a easy swap.

if it doesnt fix it then replace the ice maker assembly, at least it has a new solenoid valve.

I saw no sign of a whole kit (including solenoid; in fact it would have
to be a double solenoid assembly -- one for water, one for ice) being
offered -- only the ice maker and solenoid separately. I could have
bought just what I previously called the "drive assembly," but I chose
to buy the whole ice maker unit for not that much more; should be here
by the end of the week.
