The icemaker quit making ice. When I manually fill it, it works properly. I cut the water tube riser on the back and put the end of the tube in a pitcher. When the icemaker cycles, the solenoid is energized to refill it and water comes out into the pitcher. But no water is making it into the fill inlet. I removed the icemaker and noticed that the black rubber fill tube inside the freezer over the icemaker inlet was plugged with ice. I cannot blow any air through the tube. The water fill tube for the icemaker is blocked. Apparently, water has frozen in the tube. Does this mean the tube across the top of the freezer liner is also frozen? What is the fix?
Replace the Dual water control valve found on the back of the refrigerator near the floor with a new one and thaw out the entrance where the water goes into the ice maker. Provide a model number found on the inside of the fresh food compartment wall and I'll try to help you find the correct part number for the water control valve. The water control valve is apparently leaking like a leaky faucet and it's freezing causing the problem

sounds like the line was frozen but the water fill indicator is faulty.

press the reset button (black) on the bottom of the icemaker, the system will go through a cycle, and water will pour into the tray.

First thing to check is to see if the optics are working properly. This is the red flashing light on right hand side of freezer wall. Close the flipper door, be sure not to block the beam, and the light should go to solid red. If it does then the optics are ok. If it continues to blink then that is your problem. If optics check ok then pull ice maker out and remove the white plastic cover. It just pulls off. Look at the center of the gear wheel and see if one of the plastic tabs is either broken or if they are sort of twisted and touching eachother. If any of these things with the gear have happened then that module will need to be replaced along with the ice maker thermostat. If your not sure how to replace these parts then just replace the whole ice maker. That is much easier and not much more costly.
After changing the parts or the ice maker out follow these steps to start the ice maker thru a cycle. 1. Remove the ice maker from the cradle but leave the harness connected. Remove the front cover from the module. Unplug the refrigerator. Get a small jumper wire with bare ends and jump T and H on the module, leave the jumper in and set the ice maker on the shelf. Close the door. Now plug the refer back in and wait 30 seconds. Open the door and the ice-maker should be cycling. Remove the jumper, put the module cover back on and set it back in the cradle. The fill should take place when the ejector blades reach the 12:00 position. Follow these steps exactly in order

Turn ice maker off for 24 hours to thaw out any additional frozen lines.
Make sure that you do have water from source to unit. Water valve grit screen may be clogged with debrie or water valve is bad.
