I have a model 52299100 kenmore side by side and the ice maker went. It stopped making ice just after it was a year old. I was able to test the valve and by jumping the water dispensing valve from the door water dispenser to the ice maker and it filled when the swicth was depressed. It appears to be in the ice maker unit itself, does anyone have any ideas on where I should go next? Thanks Toolman
Your valve still may be bad. I believe you have 2 solenoids on that valve 1 for water and 1 for the icemaker. What I do when I have a problem is call a local appliance store that has a service department and also sells parts and tell them my problem. They can usually tell you what's wrong and sell you the part. It may be your icemaker, but I doubt it. You said you got it to fill with water. Did it eject the ice after it froze?
Jeff and others sorry The complete model is 106 52299100 and it is a module whirlpool unit I did a few test and the heater tray is getting 72 ohms at test points the thermo is showing continuity when cold and goes to infininty when it starts to warm The only problem is when I do the motor(controlmod test the readings are like 8ohms should be 8800ohms do you think it is the control module? I tried to fill the tray by jumping the valve and it work but the cubes never fell or completed the cycle I guess this also narrows it down to the ice maker itself. This unit has an electric eye in the door is there a way or a test to see if it is malfuntioning? Thanks Tony If it is the ice maker module what part number do I need to order The model is 106 52299100 whirlpool

There is a way to test the "eyes", IIRC it's shown on the tech sheet which is stuck in the plastic grille at the bottom of the uniy (you need to take the grille off to get to it).
"To All The Ice maker works now Don't know what I did but I took it apart and tested it and all readings were within limits The water valve worked fine when tested too. I took the module off the ice maker remove the control module (motor Part) and relined the gears. At this point I put it all together and re-installed it and it works great! Thanks to all Now I need help with my Mother in Laws Gas Dryer I posted a new question to the group THanks again Toolman
no it will not fill with water
