I have a kenmore 165a side by side. The ice maker had a broken on switch inside the ice machine itself. I re-soldered the connection and now it works. However, there is still no water flowing to ice machine. I took apart the back by the filter and swap the connections over the pumps and once I apply current the pump works and send Water to the ice machine. But that is for the water dispenser and not the ice machine. Where should I look next?
The water inlet valve is an electrically-controlled valve that opens to supply water to the dispenser and ice maker. If the water inlet valve is defective, or if it has insufficient pressure, it won’t allow water to flow through. As a result, the ice maker won’t make ice. The valve requires at least 20 psi to function properly. Make sure that the water pressure to the valve is at least 20 psi. If the water pressure is sufficient, use a multimeter to check for power to the water inlet valve. If the water inlet valve has sufficient pressure and is getting power, but the ice maker won’t fill with water to make ice, replace the water inlet valve.
