I have a kenmore elite side by side. I bought it from someone and there is no model number anywhere on the refrigerator. I have replaced some parts i.e. the infared sensor which starts and stops the ice maker when ice bin is full, with only part numbers off the old parts.
The problem is that the ice maker makes ice, and the water comes out of the dispenser, but no ice from the dispenser. The light does not work either. Bulb is good. I have checked the voltage to the light and power is 80 volts on both sides when checked to ground.
Some time ago I thought I fixed the problem but just a fluke. Does anyone have a wiring diagram or know what the voltages are. I have part numbers which I can give you. When the light came on then the ice dispenser worked. The light when off no dispenser motor. If press the dispenser lock it shuts off the power to all controls, even if that are incorrect voltages.
When you operate the ice dispenser lever, you should be able to hear a little click from a micro-switch that then switches the auger motor and the light on and also opens the flap. If you cannot hear this small click, then the micro-switch is faulty. The ice dispenser only works when the freezer door is closed, so you could also inspect the door light/fan switch for proper operation.
micro switch is fine. I have ohmed it out and switched it with the water micro switch. I get nothing. Is there a way to test the motor? It did work at one time. Hard to believe it just quit.
I replaced the front panel switches, which are only snap switches. Is there any way to test the motor. Again, the dispenser motor, and light do not work.I replaced the front panel switches, which are only snap switches. Is there any way to test the motor.

Take out ice bin, make sure you get it lined up when put back together, should click,sometimes they are a little off and you have to keep trying, mine has that defect, it works, but only on its terms, its a pain to do, but that can stop it from working due to a safety thing

You model appears to be difficult to find. The Elite is 24.1. I also read it is based on the 3rd and 4th digit on the model number, which would mean yours is 17 cu. ft. You can always do a rough measurement, depth x width x height in feet and rough tenths of a foot.
Kenmore Elite 24.1 cu. ft. Bottom-Freezer Refrigerator
Change the water control valve because it is not shutting off once the ice maker is full. The valve is sticking open slightly once power is off to water valve. What is the model number of your Kenmore Elite Model numbers for Kenmore most times look like this example=> 321.456789 Sea Breeze Kenmore Model Numbers
We have a kenmore elite refrigerator modle number- 795 7756,7757 and it has been making a humming noise very constant now after two weeks, what could it be?
