Craig February 23, 2013 for Model Number Kenmore 106.53659300 Ice and water do not dispense. Motor does not run. Ice maker makes ice fine. Ice chute door opens when lever depressed. Control panel lights and freezer work fine. Auger does not seem frozen. Do I need a new motor and/or solenoid?
1 Answer Hello Craig, If the ice and water do not work then the problem would most likely not be the motor of ice dispenser. You will want to check the wiring at the bottom of the door for loose or broken connections. You will also want to make sure that the control is not in the locked positon. Read More...
Kip December 29, 2012 for Model Number 51562101 Hi, The ice machine makes a noise when the lever is pushed but does not dispense ice. I took the motor out and got it to turn the shaft but when I reinstall it , the augar will not turn when lever is pressed. What is next?
1 Answer Hello Kip, You will want to pull the 2 screws on the auger coupler on the door and make sure that the coupler is not frozen in place. This will cause no engagement of the ice bucket. There is a spring under the coupling that should push it up but it can collect ice around it and cause it to freeze to shaft. Read More...
Berj F November 19, 2012 for Model Number kss048qmb01 Part #2212363 Kitchaid side by side. During hurricane sandy, the ice melted and must have leaked into the auger motor. since it refroze, the auger has not worked. I took out the motor, thawed it out but it still doesn't work. Is there any way to test to see if the motor is ruined?
1 Answer Hello Berj, You can test to see if you are getting power to the dispenser motor. If you are getting power to dispenser motor then the motor is seized and will need to be replaced. Test using multi-meter between L1 and neutral and you should be getting 120 vac when the dispenser lever is pushed and the light switch pushed in. Read More...
Cliff October 29, 2012 for Model Number 106.56176501 Symptom - When I press the ice dispenser lever, the chute opens but the Auger will not turn. The motor makes no noise. My first attempt to fix the problem was unsuccessful. I removed and replaced the Auger motor. Please help me diagnosis the problem and suggest repair.
1 Answer Hello Cliff, The first thing you may want to check is the dispenser bracket assembly. To access the bracket assembly you will want to remove drip tray and using flat blade screw driver, slide under bottom of dispenser panel and pry out. This will pop the dispenser cover loose. At this point you want to check to make sure that the tabs holding switch in place on the dispenser bracket are not broken. You can check this by pushing in on the dispenser lever. If the switch moves replace bracket WP2180226. Read More...
Ronnie August 13, 2012 for Model Number GS6SHAXLB01 Door ice dispenser quit working. When pressing dispenser lever the ice bin auger does not rotate at all. Only sound heard is whirring noise when chute trap door is closing. Suspect dispenser motor. Is there any way to verify this without making voltage checks (don't have a multimeter) or actually replacing the motor?
1 Answer Ronnie, Not Really, having a meter will probably save you some money, in the long run TJMA-DM1 The issue could be in the motor WP2212363 actuator switch WP2162361 or panel 2198631B or a paddle lever 2203562B You may want to start by checking the wiring harness at the top of the freezer door hinge, you might have a loose connection there.

Stephen May 02, 2012 for Model Number Kenmore 10653606200 How do you access the motor? The other descriptions on how to do this to not seem to apply to this refrigerator.
1 Answer Hello Stephen, Open the freezer door and squat down where you can look up underneath the extrusion above the third freezer door shelf. There is an access door which is held in place by two screws. Removing these two screws allow access to the auger motor. Read More...
Steven February 03, 2012 for Model Number GD5RHAXNT00 The picture of the dispenser motor in the drawings for my model looks exacly like my bad motor,but in the parts picture it looks different. The side of the motor opposite the wire connection is raised up where the shaft goes in on my motor. Also the one I have is stamped with the number 32 not 15. Thanks
1 Answer Hello Steven. The correct motor for your unit is WP2212363. The manufacturer has a note stating, "The customer should be able to pull the wires through the door enough to make the connection." Thanks! Read More...
John January 26, 2012 for Model Number KSRS27IKSS02 How do you remove the dispenser housing to gain access to the dispenser motor 2198594 (KITCHENAID)? It seems as if the housing is glued to the door insulation.
1 Answer Hello John. Look under the ice bucket inside the freezer, at the bottom of the dispenser form in the door liner. You will see a cover held on with screws. Remove the screws and cover, and you can access and replace the motor WP2212363. Hope this helps. Read More...
