solenoids fail pretty often, try powering one right from the power line
or check for power at the solenoids........
note they didnt fail together but flaked out pretty close to one
another.
I got $$#% at my ice maker wasnt certain if it was the maker itself or
the solenoid, found the icemaker jit wasnt much more than the solenoid
so bought the kit, changed solenoid problem went away.
put leftover maker in storage for later use

OK,...
I detached Both tubes from the solenoids to the (Icemaker & Water
dispenser in the front)... Ran water thru them... Both tubes are
clear.
I applied 120V to both solenoids... they do Buzz, but no water gets
thru.
I disassembled the entire plastic assembly with the solenoids and saw
the water path thru the assembly... saw nothing crazy there...
re-assembled it... I applied 120V to both solenoids... they buzz, and
one lets water thru, the other doesn't.
I disassembled the plastic assembly again... re-assembled it with the
solenoids switched places... I applied 120V to both solenoids... they
buzz, but neither one lets water thru.
I disassembled the plastic assembly again... re-assembled it with the
solenoids back in their original positions... I applied 120V to both
solenoids... they buzz, but neither one lets water thru now.
I think I need to replace the entire assembly... yes?
Thanks for your help, people.

Say What?
Are you referring to some Light Emitting Diode on the fridge? Where is
that?
And... how can an LED be blocked?
Are you referring to the small red indicator on the outside of the door
that indicates Crushed or Cubed ice? THAT thing sorta' looks like an
LED, but it's just a red plastic piece that is physically moved into
place when you push the Crushed or Cubed button. It works fine.
Are you referring to something that's inside?... on the icemaker? I
can't find any LED on the icemaker.
The dispensing mechanism works. There's simply no ice there to
dispense.
I don't understand your suggestion there, gfretwell. Please explain.
Thanks.
