Ca for Model Number Kenmore 10657572790 My ice dispenser motor hesitated to start a couple of times with a humming noise and then stopped working. The water side dispenses ok and icemaker is making ice. However, I do not hear the ice crusher solenoid engaging or the motor making any attempt to operate (i am taping the door open switch to make sure the dispenser has power coming in). I suspect the motor but are not sure. Maybe if the motor is bad the solenoid does not engage?
Answer Hello Ca. If there is power there, and the motor does not turn, you will need to replace the motor WP2188242 in the unit. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
