Hello Sandy. If the icemaker, water valve and filler are new, and there are no frozen line, and still no water, you will need to look for a loose or broke wire in the harness. Also, make sure the connections on the icemaker and the water valve is good, and none of the water lines are kinked. Hope this helps.

Hello Sam. Make sure the water filter EDR3RXD1 is good on the unit. If so, you will need to check and see if the fill tube for the icemaker is frozen. This can prevent the icemaker from filling when it cycles to bring in water. Also check and make sure the water is turned on. Hope this helps.
