Sailyoyo January 25, 2014 for Model Number gs6shaxllo1 The indoor ice dispenser does not dispense. I see the info about checking the switch and the power in the harness to the motor. It is my sister in law's ice maker and she lives 2 1/2 hours away and she doesn't have anybody with any repair knowledge. I removed the auger motor and brought it home with me. Is there a way to test the motor itself to see if it is the motor? It is part #2188869. can only find continuity between pins 6 and 7. I hate to order all the parts when it may only be the motor. Can I hook power up to the motor and see if it runs? Which pins do I use? Thank you.
1 Answer Hello Sailyoyo. You need to test the wiring harness on her refrigerator between L and N and look for the correct voltage. If there, the motor is bad. 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...
Jerry Mcgowan January 10, 2014 for Model Number 50264992 kenmore Need instructions on how to install auger motor mine turns real slow. Seems to be dragging.
1 Answer Jerry, To remove the auger motor you will pull out the bin and remove 3 screw holding the auger housing in place. Once screws are removed then you will pull out the auger housing and disconnect the harness that plugs into the wall. You will need to take the coupler off which is threaded so if you grab the shaft with channel locks and tap it to loosen it to take it off. Take out the screws holding in the motor and replace.

Stephen December 01, 2013 for Model Number GD5RHAXNT01 I am trying to access the auger drive motor in the door and remove the ice bin and can only find 2 ....1/4 hex bolts that hold down the drive gear for ice bucket... how do I remove the cover to motor? since there is no access underneath i am guessing there is a way to take off top after removing drive gear...also under the drive gear the shaft feels sloppy and moves around quite a bit..is this normal? Cannot find any infor on getting access to motor and don't want to damage or break plastic trying to get in the wrong way.. I believe it takes part # PS968755 or replacement with 2188869. Please advise me on this issue... I am pretty sure the drive is bad since when Ice lever is pushed the chute door opens but no motor and no crushed ice either...thanks
1 Answer Hello Stephen. Lay in the floor with the freezer door open and look upward and you will see the screws and the cover for the auger motor. Remove that cover and you can access the motor in the door. Read More...
Eric November 19, 2013 for Model Number 106.52609100 How do I test a ice dispenser motor? I removed it and it does not turn by hand.
1 Answer Hello Eric. You will test for power coming to the motor harness when the dispenser is pressed. If there, replace the motor. 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...
Hank October 28, 2013 for Model Number GD25DIXHS02 Motor runs but seems as if gears are stripped. If I get motor do I need all parts associated such as the hex drive shaft, coupling, seal, bushing, spring and spring loaded pin?
1 Answer Hello Hank. This is an issue caused by the door liner being made of plastic. You see, the issue is caused by the plastic door liner changing shape by a small amount and this makes the shaft too short. Believe me, this steel shaft cannot strip. When the motor is setting effectively further away, this makes the shaft slip because it isn't meshing fully. I remove the two 1/4 inch hex headed screws and set the plastic "keeper" and spring aside. Pull the shaft up, out of the hole, (you can grab it with needle nosed pliers). Wrap electrical tape, sticky side out, around itself about 20 times or so and shove the wad of tape into the bottom end of the shaft. It may take a few trys to get the length right, but when you get it right, the shaft will mesh on both ends and it will dispense again. This is one of two ways to correct this issue. The other one is to replace the freezer door assembly. Read More...
Tom October 11, 2013 Hi, When I press the dispenser for the ice the argator doesn't move. I look the ice bucket out to see if the rod move or not. The rod is not moving, but the motor does make a noise like its trying to move it. What part would I need for this? Thanks
1 Answer Hello Tom. If there is power to the motor, and it does not run, you will need to replace the motor in the unit. Read More...

Ted August 07, 2013 for Model Number WPL part number 2188869 Ice Dispenser motor does not work. There is no sound from the motor when dispenser button is engaged. However, the ice dispenser door slowly shuts when dispenser button is released. Water button dispenser button works and light can be turned on. The new motor I ordered and installed does not work after installation. I have multi-meter, but am unsure how to test power to motor connection. Where do I go next to identify problem. Could the motor still be the problem or is the problem upstream from the motor? Please advise on what to do next. Thank you!
1 Answer Ted, You will want to pull the dispenser cover off and look where the switch is located for the ice dispenser. Push the lever and see if it is making contact. If the switch moves in its location then the bracket will need to be replaced. If there is a control board on the bracket then you will want to look for warping on the ice dispenser side. If warped you will need to replace the bracket which comes with the control board. Read More...
