Maytag Refrigerator MSF21D4MDM01 Ice maker won't dispense ice

The Ice Dispenser Drum is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This drum is located in the ice maker assembly and is responsible for dispensing ice when activated. It rotates to push ice through the chute and into your glass or container.

Causes of a bad ice dispenser drum include wear and tear from regular use, damage from ice jams, or breakage due to accidental mishandling. Accumulation of ice and debris can also cause the drum to malfunction.

Symptoms of a bad ice dispenser drum include:

• Ice not dispensing properly
• Grinding or clicking noises during operation
• Inconsistent ice output
• The dispenser becoming jammed frequently

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

The Motor Coupling is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This coupling connects the ice dispenser motor to the ice dispensing mechanism, allowing the motor to drive the ice auger and dispense ice effectively. 

Causes of a bad motor coupling can include wear and tear from regular use, overloading the ice dispenser, or mechanical failure of the dispenser motor.  

Symptoms of a bad motor coupling include:

• The ice dispenser not functioning or dispensing ice intermittently
• Unusual noises such as grinding, clicking, or rattling during operation
• The ice auger not turning or dispensing ice properly
• Visible cracks, breaks, or wear on the coupling

This baffle sits in the ice bin and supports the auger so ice feeds smoothly to the dispenser. Replace a cracked or worn baffle to restore reliable dispensing and reduce jams or grinding from the ice bucket.

• Supports and aligns the ice auger inside the bin
• Guides cubes/crushed ice toward the crusher/dispenser
• Helps prevent auger wobble, binding, or excessive noise
• Failure can show as weak/no ice dispensing or intermittent jams

• Disconnect power; remove the ice bin from the freezer/door
• Empty the bin and remove any screws/clips securing the baffle
• Transfer any reusable hardware; orient the baffle correctly around the auger
• Tighten fasteners without overtightening; reinstall bin and test dispense

The Icemaker Motor Module is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This module is the heart of the icemaker, responsible for controlling the ice production cycle. It manages the timing, water fill, and ice tray ejection, ensuring that your refrigerator consistently produces and dispenses ice. 

Symptoms of a bad Icemaker Motor Module include:

• The icemaker failing to produce ice,
• Ice cubes not ejecting into the bin,
• The icemaker making unusual noises during operation.

Causes of motor module failure typically involve mechanical wear from continuous use, electrical failures such as short circuits, or water damage affecting the electronic components.

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

The Ice Dispenser Solenoid is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It controls the mechanism that opens and closes the ice chute door, allowing ice to be dispensed from the ice maker to the user.

Symptoms of a bad ice dispenser solenoid include:

• The ice dispenser not dispensing ice
• The chute door not opening or closing properly
