Just wanted to report back that I finally was able to get this ice maker
fixed. After considerable time diagnosing (all the individual parts appeared
to work as designed), I determined that the problem was in the wiring
harness cable connector to the ice maker water solenoid valve. The good
news is that no parts were needed. The bad news was that it was the last
thing I had expected to be the root cause. I ended up having to pull out
the refrigerator and take the back off to access the solenoids on three
different occasions. I also had the icemaker apart on 3 separate occasions
as well and finally ended up pulling it completely to validate on my bench
that it was working perfectly.

Oh well, live and learn. I'm glad to have it working again. Thanks to
everyone for the advice.

Chris,

Thanks for the precaution. Yes, the schematic clearly shows the 120VAC is
in
the ice maker. My design must be slightly different since the motor
turns a
small plastic gear which turns a larger gear which has a cam with a
raised
lobes that activate the three microswitches referenced in my previous

Sounds like a much better design than mine.
