How to test water valve?
Tiburcio
Answer Hello Tiburcio. You will test for power to the water valve. If there is power there and no water, replace the valve. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html
When I put the handle down to make ice Motor seems to be working but no ice is coming out. Could it be the inlet water valve thas preventing the water from going into machine to produce Ice?

Answer Hello Norma, You need to check and see if there is power going to the water valve when the icemaker cycles. If so, replace the water valve on the unit. If not, or the icemaker does not cycle, you will need to replace the icemaker on the unit. Also, check and make sure the fill tube on the unit is not frozen and clogged. If so, replace the water valve and thaw out the fill tube. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.

What is the best way to get to the water inlet valve on this bottom freezer unit? I have all the signs that I have a bad water valve and I would like to replace it. Thank you, Mike

Answer Hello Mike! The inlet valve 67003753 is on the back of the refrigerator at the bottom of the unit. You will have to remove the bottom back to gain access to the inlet valve. Thanks.
