My Kenmore side-by-side developed a problem with the front panel ice dispenser controls. The crushed ice function does nothing, the cubed ice function makes noise but nothing churns and I get no ice. The water dispenser and ice maker work fine.

The auger turns by hand, and the auger motor coupler turn by hand. The flapper is not opening as best I can tell. The auger motor sounds like it is trying to run but the auger coupler does not turn. Any suggestions? :confused:

Thanks

I have the same problem at times it seems. Sometimes ice will buiild up below the icebucket causeing it to not lock into the auger and causing it to therefor not spit out the ice. I hope this is it if not sorry. :(
I have a bigger problem with mine right now all together
