brian,,
I removed icemaker from refrig., took plastic cover off nose. There is a sort of “L” shaped black plastic piece attached by a screw, about 1inch vertical, 1 and 3/4 inch horizonal, covering the T and H holes on the endpiece. It has a yellow wire into it, and a short metal probe that fits into the H hole. To run the diagnostic with a jumper wire, I would have to leave the L-shaped piece unattached, reinstall the icemaker, reattach the wiring harness. Then should I turn the icemaker switch to the on position and then use the jumper wire to see if the icemaker cycles? Am I going to short out or burn something out doing this? I am hesitant to do this. What do you suggest?
Thanks, ron again

Hi. IF you do not feel comfortable performing these tests I would not proceed. You could damage the ice maker if you do not install the jumper into the correct terminals. There is also a possibility for electrical shock. Yes, you will need to remove the L shaped terminal and leave it off. Then install your jumper wire into the T and H terminals or holes. The ice maker can be on or off. The jumper should cycle the ice maker even in the off position. You may have to close the doors or hold in the door switches. Remove the jumper wire after 10 seconds. Let me know what you find out if you decide to perform the test. IF you have any questions just let me know.
