Are the doors completed closed?

  • The unit will not dispense ice if the door is opened.
  • Make sure the refrigerator doors are completely closed when trying to dispense.

Has the dispenser paddle been pressed too long?

  • The dispenser has a built-in device that shuts off after 3 minutes of continuous use to prevent the motor from overheating.
  • To reset the shutoff device, simply release the dispenser paddle and then resume if needed.

Is the Auger frozen?

  • The auger Motor powers the arm inside the ice bin, allowing ice to flow freely from the dispenser in front of the unit.
  • Check to see if there is ice melted and frozen around the auger due to infrequent use, temperature fluctuations, and/or power outages.
  • Remove the ice bin, thaw and empty contents.
  • Clean the ice bin (wipe/dry) and replace in proper position.

Is there any ice jammed between the ice maker and the ice bin?

  • Take out the ice bin completely and remove the ice cubes.
  • Replace the bin, and the dispenser should operate.
  • When removing or replacing the ice bin, avoid rotating the auger in the ice bin.
  • NOTE: If the auger is accidentally rotated, you must realign the auger by turning it in 45 degree turns until the ice bin fits into place. If the auger is not properly aligned, the refrigerator will not dispense ice and/or the door may not close properly.
