Ice Maker Not Dispensing Ice

November 4, 2016

My Whirlpool side-by-side refrigerator makes ice, but it will not dispense crushed or cubed ice. It does dispense water. Is there a way I can fix it?

I know calling a serviceman is going to cost too much. I can still get ice from inside the freezer.

I have a Frigidaire side by side fridge. The ice maker produces ice, but the ice just sits on top of the ice maker and rarely drops into the ice tray. When it does drop, it is a huge chunk of ice that won't fit down the dispenser and is too big to fit into a glass.

Join the club! Have been having this problem for awhile myself. I have found that the shelf-tray that sits over the ice bin is often the problem. If it gets pushed all the way back to the ice maker it prevents the metal arm from full motion and stops the ice from dropping into the bin. I have to take the shelf off and pop the ice off the maker. If left too long on the maker it starts dehydrating and often clumps into one large chunk. I check about once a day or so now, out of habit.

I try not to put anything on the shelf over the bin and also try to keep it pulled out just a little so it doesn't obstruct the dispenser arm. Easier said than done. I have tried to put things on the back of the shelf to keep it out a bit but nothing has been especially successful. If you figure something out, let me know. I think this ice maker is just poorly designed since I have not had this problem with other units.

Had the same problem. The auger motor was not turning. I could hear the motor hum when I depressed the lever to dispense ice and the door switch. The motor seemed to be stuck. I then tapped the auger twice and tried again to activate it and it worked!!!!

I have a Whirlpool French door refrigerator model GI0fsaxvy010. I am having a problem with water and the ice dispenser. The ice in the bin must be melting a little because there the ice cubes seem to be fused together making a large chunk of ice.

Also there is a small drip of water coming out on the outside of the dispenser.

Frigidaire ice maker makes ice, but will not dispense it! The metal curly thing goes around, but pushes ice to the top and to the front, but not out when you push ice dispenser button. Is there an easy fix or not?

My Whirlpool refrigerator makes ice, but only dispenses water no matter which button of the three is depressed. I don't know if it is a problem with the board or possibly just the selector buttons.

I have Kenmore side by side. Two days ago everything worked fine and then it happened. It still makes ice cold water, but when I push for ice to come out nothing happens. I don't hear the motor or the crushed ice. What do I do? I have a nearly new refrigerator with ice in the door.

The icemaker makes plenty of ice and when I hold a glass to the lever, a sound is made, but the ice only dispenses once in a while. After the first couple of times, we stopped trying and we scoop the ice out of the tray. The water dispenses fine. What could be the problem?

When was the last time you changed the filter in it? It could be clogged if it is not making ice.
Or, is it making ice and won't come out??

The ice maker makes ice and puts it in the bin, but the auger will not spin to dump it out the chute in the door. The water works, but ice will not come out.

There is an ice dispenser motor that moves the ice from the tray and down the shoot on the door of your refrigerator. This motor is bad and should be replaced.

I actually had to replace ours in late August. We have the fridge with the freezer in the bottom. Anyway, there were 2 screws holding it in then there is a wire plugged into the box. Once that was out, all it took was repairing/replacing the ice making unit.

Getting it back in was a bit challenging. I had to lay on the floor and do it all in reverse, not an easy task for me since I have a lot of health issues..lol Best of luck repairing/replacing your unit..

Is it possible a plug of ice has formed up in there somewhere? That's just a theory. I don't know how you'd test it.

Remove ice cubes from the ice caddy ; use a hair dryer to melt built up /stuck ice cubes from the chute. Use a towel on the floor to catch drippings.

I don't know why the chute clogs, but mine does it too. Wish I knew how to prevent it.
