The ice maker in my Whirlpool refrigerator is not making ice. The arm lifts like it is dumping ice into the bin, but there is no ice to dump. I believe the problem is in the water supply, but not sure. I have through the door ice dispensing with a water dispenser and I can get water through the door dispenser. I took the cover off of the ice maker and the gear goes around as it goes through the cycle of dumping ice. The arm lifts during the dumping process and drops after the ice supposedly has dumped. I don't see any water coming through the tube at the top of the ice maker.
Tammi, you first want to check to make sure the water inlet tube to the icemaker is not frozen shut. Next, get yourself a jumper wire about 4 inches long with the ends stripped exposing the wire on each end. Pull off the ice maker cover, it will pull right off. Now you are looking at the module. On the module, left side, you will see two test points marked V and L. Insert one end of the jumper wire into V and the other marked L. You are now sending 120 volts to the water valve and water should fill the ice maker providing the inlet tube is not frozen over. If it doesn't fill, you either have a bad water valve or module itself. Also check to see if the clips that hold the center gear on the module are not broken. Catriver..post back.

The door dispenser does have the water dispenser working. The ice maker ejector arm actually goes around every few minutes. I don't hear the usual clicking to let more water in, and no water is going into the tray. How to I test the water valve to verify it is functioning? And/or if there is water getting to the valve, but I know water is getting to the fridge door dispenser.
Installed new water line and 5 days later water quit dispensing from the refrigerator. Not sure if ice maker still works. Where to start diagnosis?

The ice maker is full and the ice is frozen. The bin has been cleared and cleaned. The ice maker is on but the ice will not drop
ice emptied out arm stuck up. Can't get the arm down to continue making ice.
