Can you post pictures?

Does the black bar have fasteners?

I have had to unhook the water line them pull them out ... then tilt the whole refer back to get enought space to change the valve...

Is the tray filling? You may have a frozen fill tube.

I think that is the problem, my wife filled the ice maker and it made ice, so i figured it was the inlet valve, I replaced that and still no ice,,,so my next question is how do i fix the frozen fill line and where is it

THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR INPUT

it's in the back of the icemaker, should see a plastic tube that fills the tray. If it is frozen you could either put a hair dryer to it or pull it out from the back of the unit (if you have access to the back) and run warm water through it.

hmm, I can not get into back of refer, built in, but do you have a pic of where the line is looking into the icemaker, do i need to shut unit off to use hair dryer??

Sorry don't have a pic, but if you look at your ice maker you'll see the tray that fills with water where the ice is actually made and at the very back of the ice maker there is a tube that comes out of the back wall that fills the tray with water. You'll have to take the icemaker out, unhook the wire molex connector and that will give you access to the fill tube. You don't have to cut power, just melt the ice with a hair dryer until the tube is clear, the reinstall the icemaker. Maybe someone on here can get you a picture.
