For Whirlpool Water Valve (Part Number: OEM18067011)

Answer

Bill, the icemaker W10884390 will receive 120VAC from the freezer door switch when the switch is in the closed position. The black wire at the ice maker can be tested for voltage to identify if it is getting the necessary power through the door switch. The ice maker face cover can be removed and a jumper wire used in the T and the H ports. Once the jumper is in place, tape the door switch shut and the icemaker should start to harvest. Once the ice rakes rotate halfway through, remove the jumper and test from V port to the N port for 120VAC to see if the icemaker will send voltage to the valve WPW10498976 at the end of the harvest. If it does, the failure would be in the valve. If it does not send voltage, the failure would be in the icemaker.
