Ice dispenser not dispensing; auger motor runs or hums but no ice comes out.

Safety first: Unplug the refrigerator before removing the ice bin or working in the dispenser chute. Beware of sharp ice and metal edges.

Step 1 – Inspect ice bin:

• Remove the bin and break up any clumped ice.
• Discard old ice and allow fresh ice to form.

Step 2 – Check auger and drive parts:

• Inspect the auger for cracks or broken welds.
• Check the drive coupling and yoke for stripped splines.
• Replace the ice bin assembly or auger drive yoke if damaged.

Step 3 – Inspect ice chute door:

• Look up the dispenser chute from the front; ensure the door opens when the dispenser is activated.
• Clean any ice buildup and verify the door spring and solenoid function.

When to call a technician: If internal dispenser gears or solenoids are faulty, professional service is recommended.
