Carol for Model Number LFUS2613LPO Couldn't get ice maker to make crushed. Only cubed ice. Found plastic broken parts in ice basket. Will purchase of this push in replacement fix this problem?
Answer Carol, Probably not, The cubed and crushed ice is controlled by a solenoid 241675704 in the back bracket behind the ice bin. When cubed ice is selected, the solenoid is energized and lifts the shifter arm on the side of the ice bin, this opens the dispenser door on the bottom of the ice bin front panel and allows the cubes to fall through the mandi plate without being crushed. when crushed ice is selected, the solenoid stays relaxed, the cubes are pushed forward into the mandiplate, and because the flipper door remains closed the cubes are chopped up/crushed and fall though the smaller opening. A quick easy check, open the door and remove the ice bin, select cubed ice, press in on the door switch and press the lever, you should hear and see the solenoid activate and raise. select crushed ice, press the light switch then press the lever, you should see the solenoid remain in the down position and just the auger motor should turn. manually operate the shift lever on the side of the bin, and make sure it moves freely and the door on the front panel opens and closes. If all's OK make sure the end of the shift lever is installed in the solenoid yoke properly. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Thursday, September 7, 2017
