SWAPED LEADS ON SECONDARY VALVE , JUMPERED V AND L ON ICEMAKER RECIEVED WATER TO ICEMAKER BUT NOW DOOR DOES NOT RECIEVE WATER?[/size]

If I'm reading this correctly it sounds like the water valve is bad, but then before that you said you replaced the water valve.


I wonder what the other technicians think about it...

[hatrick]

i did replace the icemaker valve but not the primary supply valve , both valves have two relays that are electrically plugged together , wondering if maybe its one of the relays on the valve i havnt replaced. thanks hatrick

[hatrick]

thankyou for the manual

Your welcome, I'm hoping another technician will chime in tonight with their thoughts on this problem.
Could you post the part number of the water valve you already replaced.

Disconnect the outlet of the primary valve and jump the L and V.  If it squirts water, you know it's good.

[hatrick]

tgoods , unplugged primary outlet and jumped  L and V like you said and  no water , pushed the water dispenosor and   water flows out of the valve .  must be bad ?   will know in a day or two !  got a valve ordered from ap on the way ,  many  thanks to all the techs on the forum  ,   let you know how it turns out.
