Do-It-Yourself Story

The water valve was leaking and caused the failure. I had previously removed the failed ice maker before the new one arrived. Before lnstalling the new one, the water valve problem had to be resolved. The valve was removed ,the filter in the valve was checked, the valve was fitted with a piece of quater inch plastic tubing. I next powered up each valve blew them out .I cycled the ice maker valve to make sure it wasn't hanging up and that it opened and closed completely. I was almost sure the valve problem was resolved, the valve was reinstalled. It took about 10 minutes to install the ice maker. Turned on water first then plugged in the refrig. It was making ice in 30 min, no problems.
