Ice Dispenser Motor

Sergio for Model Number GS5SHGXKB00

Answer Sergio, You will want to check the dispenser bracket for broken pins. To access the bracket you will use a flat blade screw driver at the bottom of the trim and pop the bottom out of place then lift the face off the dispenser. Once this is done, check on the upper left of the bracket [AP2988571 where the switch is located and where the dispenser lever would hit to see if the switch moves around in the assembly. If it does then this is the cause of dispenser motor not operating. 

Cupid for Model Number wpl 2188242

Answer Hello Cupid. Based on the information you provided, if the motor runs with the door open, but not with it closed, then there is a wiring issue with the unit. You need to look for loose or broken wires on the unit. Check at the door hinges, where the wires come in, and the light switch inside the freezer. 

John A for Model Number GS5SHGLXLS01

Answer John, You will want to test the auger motor to make sure that you are getting 120 vac to the auger. If you are then the auger motor would need to be replaced. 

Dona for Model Number FRS26ZGEW!

Answer Hello Dona, The hold switch would be the only other component aside from the cams and gears that would cause there to be no water getting to the icemaker. You also want to check your wiring to make sure that there is not a bad wire through the harness. 

Kathy C for Model Number ED25RFXFN03

Answer Hello Kathy, You will test for power to the auger motor with the light switch taped closed. If there is power there, and the motor does not turn, you will need to order and replace the ice dispenser motor in the unit. 

Jennifer for Model Number TS25AGXRD01

Answer Hello Jennifer, If the arm is fully inserted in the front of the ice maker module housing, the switch is bad in the motor module 8201515. Replacing it will restore normal operation. Be sure to unplug the refrigerator before attempting the repair since there is 120Vac behind the motor module. Remove the white cover, the three screws, and pull on the beige part. It will slide right out. Slide the new one in and reinstall the three screws. Reinstall the white cover and plug the unit back in. Simple as that, your job is complete.
