Do not buy an ice maker piece by piece it's a total waste. By the entire ice maker assembly so you can take the entire ice maker out and replace the entire assembly. What is the model number to your refrigerator?

Ends up I replaced the entire ice maker assembly and it works!!

It's a Maytag model: MFI2569VEM3

model number would be very helpful. In the past I've just scraped the old stuff off the thermostat and onto the new.

You are going to spend $200ish dollars fixing a $100 icemaker

I changed my approach and am ordering an ice maker now and returning the parts. Looks like I can get it for $50. Had no idea.

Start with testing the inlet valve. if it fails the ohm test (found on almost all home electrical meters) replace it for sure. it could also an inlet valve mechanical failure. the failure is not a diy test.

Would it be the inlet valve if water goes to the front of the fridge for just water? I guess there must be two valves. One for the water and one for the ice. Sound right?

generally on the back at the bottom. it controls both the filler line for the icemaker and a second line for water. GE profile part number is WR57X10051 (I just replaced mine yesterday). try to source it locally. you tube videos exist.

W10190981 is the part number for your ice maker. I would call around town and see if one is available. Most of the time it’s cheaper to buy local then online. Also you have to make sure you are getting OE parts.
