Bob for Model Number WRS342FIAM02 How do you perform the optic test to determine why ice maker does not produce ice?
Answer Bob, with the door open, the door switch taped shut and the optics flapper taped shut, the ice maker WPW10445782 can be tested for 120VAC from the motor terminal L to N. If there is 120VAC and the freezer is at 0°F, and the fill tube is not blocked up, then a jumper wire can be placed from the terminal T to H and this should cause the ice maker to go into a harvest mode. The jumper wire would need to be removed once the ice maker clicks and the ice maker would need to be back in it's normal position. If the ice maker fills, with water then the ice maker has failed. If there is not 120VAC the black wire at the ice maker would need to be tested for 120VAC at both sides. If voltage is not there, then the optics W11629974 would need to be tested for an incoming 120VAC at the black wire. If voltage is there, and it was not reaching the ice maker, the optics have failed. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Tuesday, December 29, 2020
