Good afternoon!
After reading PAGES of posts and proceeding with my busted machine, I figure I better get some specific assistance, please.
I took the assembly out so I could run the resistance checks. I removed the ice maker and realized there was ice in the tray (mold) and a couple of cubes behind the tray. THERMOSTAT - I proudly diagnosed! Because I am rather anal (OCD?), I checked all of the test points anyway as identified on Whirlpool 'Modular' Compact Crescent-Mold Icemaker | The Appliance Clinic. The thermostat was 78ohms, but the motor did not comply. I removed the motor to get a better reading...wrong move. I get NO reading now. Guess maybe there might be two problems...
The motor specs: Hankscraft SNP 626683 1RPM CCW 3W 120vac 60hz Z.P. CLASS A (A-1-0581775 01-07-08)
Bottom line: I need a motor (and a thermostat?). Right? :)
Thanks, in advance.
