1 Answer Ginger, If there is a humming noise but not dispensing ice and the ice door opens then the issue would most likely be a faulty auger motor. Read More...
Steve September 19, 2016 for Model Number kenmore icemaker 59292993 How do you know whether the auger or the solenoid needs to be replaced?
1 Answer Hello Steve. The auger moves the ice in the bucket and the solenoid changes between crushed and cubed ice. Read More...
David T. February 21, 2013 for Model Number MZD 2768GEQ Ice maker will dispense cubed ice but no longer dispenses crushed ice. I question if the solenoid is functioning properly or not? What else could cause this? Thank you !
1 Answer Hello David. Test for power to the solenoid and if there is power there, and the solenoid does not work, replace the solenoid. If there is no power there, then the solenoid is fine and you will need to trace and see where you are losing power at. 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...
John November 07, 2012 for Model Number MSD2456GE My ice crusher seems to work well when clean (ice door opens), but quickly gets a buildup of "snow" in the chute and it blocks the ice door, which then forces only crushed ice to be made, which makes the "snow" problem worse.
1 Answer Hello John. Based on the information you provided, you will need to order and replace the fountain kit 12001991 on the unit. Read More...
Jaime M. September 19, 2012 for Model Number MZD2766GES I replaced the ice chute flap, and now the ice bin is not dispensing crushed ice, is it the solenoid? AP4071375
1 Answer Hi Jamie. Flush out the ice bin completely with water. Make sure the auger and the crusher blades are not clogged and completely dry upon reinstalling. Make sure the long brass colored round arm that extends on the bottom of the ice bin is fully inserted into the crusher solenoid beside the auger motor. The solenoid is part # WP61005253. Ohm the coils for resistance. Check each terminal individually to the casing to make sure it is not shorted. Change the yoke assy. part # 61005844 both at the same time. If the fountain control command works and the solenoid itself hums then we at least know the control board and wires to the solenoid are ok. Thank You. Read More...

Rick D December 02, 2011 for Model Number Maytag MSD2754GRW Does the Solenoid, part number AP4071375, control the movement of the arm for cubed and crushed ice? I think this is broken on our machine since it now only crushes ice. Thanks for the help! Rick Daniels
1 Answer Rick, Yes, the shifter solenoid activates the shifter arm, which activates the chopper blades . When cubed ice is selected, the solenoid activates, and allows the bin to dispense cubed ice. When the crushed ice is selected, the solenoid remains inactive and the cubes are forced through the chopper blades abd the cubes get crushed. Check and make sure the end of the shifter arm is mounted to the bin properly and the end of the shaft is inside the "yoke" 61005844 opening of the solenoid assembly, before you replace the parts. Thanks and Good Luck Read More...
Pat September 03, 2011 for Model Number mzd2766GEQ My ice maker keeps leaking and freezing water cascades into a ice water fall and ice won't come out. Also the shelf that the ice bucket sits on freezes so much we can't take the ice bucket out. What could this be?
1 Answer Hello Pat. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the water valve 61005626 is bad and needs to be replaced. Hope this helps. Read More...
