Hello
The ice maker sends 115 volts down to the inlet when in harvest cycle for 3 seconds. The ice maker is the only power source to the valve. If you are getting 115 to the ice maker and it is harvesting , you have a bad ice maker. Are you checking for power at the inlet valve when the ice maker is going through the cycle ? That is the only time you will get 115 volts at the end of the harvest cycle. Matt Ace technician

Yes, I’m checking voltage at the water valve at the time the ice maker is harvesting.

Hello Your model is very basic , it has a manual defrost timer and no control board. If you harvest the ice maker and DO NOT get 115 volts to the harness plug of the inlet valve I would put in another ice maker. You have one of three possibilities 1) Bad ice maker not sending voltage to valve . 2) You meter is not working correctly . 3) Bad harness between ice maker and valve, I have never had a bad harness in my 30 years. Some of the new models like Frigidaire have a diode that wires in series with the inlet valve but your model does not show one. Matt Ace technician
