I replaced the water inlet valve and the dual inlet valves due to the failed continuity readings. I waited 48 hrs and still no ice. I also felt no water in the tray, so I thought the icemaker water line was clogged-replaced that, and waited 48 hrs, and still no ice. Before I did all this I carried out the diagnostic tests you showed, and all systems were normal. Water pressure is normal in back and the water dispenser pressure looks normal. Icemaker dispenser sounds normal. Any suggestions?
Replaced water inlet and dual inlet valves. Replaced water line to icemaker. Ran all applicable diagnostic tests according to manufacturer and your videos.

if you give me a model number i can specifically guide you through this issue but a simple approach is first do we know if the ice maker is cycling ,ie attempting to make ice if so when it cycles you can put your ear against the cabinet and listen for the hum of the solinoid on the valve you installed be sure to check the tube that passses the water into the ice maker is not a solid tube of ice stopping water flow hope that helps

Gilbert, I am not sure what model Whirlpool you have it was not entered. If you have good water pressure through the dispenser that means your inlet & saddle valve have good pressure through them. The next step would indicate a defective ice maker. You may have a internal thermostat inside the ice maker not sensing the water temperature to send the ice maker into the harvest cycle. One other thing to check before replacing the ice maker. Make sure there is no ice in the inlet tube coming in to the ice maker. Remove the ice maker and inspect the inlet tube for ice. Sometimes low water pressure will cause the inlet tube to freeze and it will need to be defrosted. It is caused by low water pressure.
