I have a Kenmore refrigerator and the ice maker is not making ice. I replaced the water valve in the back. There is good water pressure going into the valve but no water in the tube from the valve to the ice maker. What should I check?

Hello Lee Bird and Welcome to the Do-It-Yourself Web Site.
May be a good idea to check with the local appliance part stores. Retail appliance parts dealers can also help determine what the possible problem may be. Bring the make, model and serial numbers. Appliance part stores and parts dealers are listed in the phone book.
