How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the refrigerator before servicing the dispenser.
- Check for jams: Remove the ice bin and inspect the auger for jammed ice. Break up clumps and reinstall.
- Listen for motor: With the bin removed and door switch held closed, press the dispenser paddle. If the motor is silent, test the auger motor for continuity and replace if open.
- Test dispenser switch: Use a multimeter to verify the paddle switch closes when pressed. Replace if faulty.
