Answer

Hi Louise. Remove the ice bin and tape the door switch shut. Insert a cup and open the door. Now is the crusher solenoid going up and down ? Is the auger motor running now? If so then look at the inside of the bin. Is the auger frozen to the bottom of the inside of the bin? If so then make sure it is cleared and dried completely. Make sure you remove the ice bin and clean it monthly. Dry it completely inside and out so it does not freeze again. Shards of crushed ice will collect at the bottom and cause this. Also if the ice door flapper kit is worn out and not closing all the way. Motor 241689301. If the door paddle micro-switch part # 241689106 then this may cause the command (voltage) not to be sent to the fountain control board part # 5304525097. Thank You.
