No water and no ice is being made, I have replaced the solonid at the back ( it is dual solenoid) I also do not hear the solenoid when trying to get water from the door,

and these would be automatic, driven by the controls on the front panel, right?
is it the case that the solenoids need to be turned manually?

most likely you have a frozen water line to the dispenser. it could be inside the back of the refr section that is just too cold or inside the freezer door.
either one can be tested by allowing each to warm up for 15 to 20 minutes and see if you get water thru door.
do you hear a buzz from the water valve coil when you push the dispenser lever? if so then the water line is probably frozen somewhere.

either the water valve is bad or the ice maker is bad.... only way to tell which is bad is 1. jump the water valve with 110 volts or advance the ice maker and check for 110 volts at the water valve you will have to sit there a while doing that

By not knowing what model or how old of fridge you have, I'll give info on the most common 5 to 10 year old whirlpool. They were all basically the same.
Sounds like the water valve. When you have both water and ice in door, you will have a valve for both. Sometimes there is a single valve followed by a double valve. The double is most likely bad. Most of the time the double valve has two different size tubes. one is 5/16" and the other is 1/4". The one that supplies the ice maker is the one with the small tube (1/4") If both are the same size you will need to determine which is which. Seeing you water in door works, try this. Find the double valve. Swap the plugs going to it. Now push the lever in the door like your getting water. This will energize the ice maker valve. If water does not enter the ice tray, you have a bad double water valve and it will need to be changed. If water does not enter the ice maker try, you have a ice maker not calling for water, meaning that there is a micro switch is bad inside the ice maker head. You can replace this switch for around $6.00. or replace the ice maker it's self for around $100.00. It's not had to change the micro switch. You might want to give it a try.
Please rate this solution if helpful. Thanks

Hi.
First I suggest defrosting the unit completely. Sometimes leaks may be caused by blockage due to water frozen in the water lines to dispenser.
If that does not work, then repair is done taking apart the dispenser, finding the leak and replacing the faulty part.
Here you get all diagrams and parts for your appliance.
