James B Julian , CA April 17, 2017 Appliance: Whirlpool Refrigerator GS6SHEXMT00 Ice would not dispense could hear motor running When there was no ice in the bin, the auger turned, but with any ice, the auger simply stalled and could not push the ice around. Did not know where the problem was, but thought if I replaced the entire lower assembly (ordered a new motor, shaft, spring and coupler for the bottom part), that should do it. Took about 45 minutes from start to finish, but ice now dispenses fine as cubes or crushed.

Dale M Charlotte , NC February 03, 2017 Appliance: Model AP6006768 (WP2252129) PART NUMBER Ice maker was not dispensing ice Replaced dispenser motor. We have a KitchenAid Superba side by side with ice in the door. The motor sits on the inside beneath the ice dispenser. There were 2 hex nut screws that had to be removed to get to the motor. The motor was attached with a plastic bracket with 4 hex nut screws and a connecter to the board to unplug. Once this was done the old motor came out. There is a metal auger that runs from the motor up into the door. Unscrewed the old motor from the mounting bracket (4 hex nut screws) and attached the new motor to the bracket. Lined up the metal shaft so that it locked in place in the ice maker and the motor before re-attaching the bracket with to freezer door. Used the last 2 screws to replace the exterior cover. Worked like a charm. Took about half an hour to replace. Read More... 3 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 30-60 minutes Tools: Nut Drivers
