Refrigerator Ice Dispenser Solenoid

Hi Ron, Thank you for your question. Crushed cubes is actually the default on your appliance when dispensing ice, so it is likely that your solenoid assembly is the issue. I would advise testing the part with a multi meter to double check. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.

Hello Brad, Thank you for the question. Yes, the Ice Dispenser Solenoid is the most common issue when the dispenser only dispenses Crushed or Cubed ice and not both. We hope this helps.

Hello Chad, Thank you for your inquiry. We would recommend checking the following parts to fix your issue: crushed/cubed ice solenoid assembly, solenoid actuator, and solenoid spring. Hope this helps!

Hi Jorge, Thank you for the question. The solenoid controls the crushes or cubed ice option. You can try to switch it from cubed to crushed to see if it dispenses and the solenoid is in the down position. Also make sure the ice lever is making contact with the switch on the ice maker. Hope this helps!

Hello Betty, Thank you for the question. Previous customers have said it was a easy repair. Here is a repair story from a previous customer. First I pulled the ice tray out so I could see the solenoid housing/ice tray support(1 unit). Below the ice tray there are 2 screws that hold the solenoid housing/ice tray support. After removing those the assembly lifts up so you can see the wiring harness to disconnect. I pulled it out and removed the 2 screws to open it up. There is 2 screws holding the solenoid in place and one ground wire.Thank you for your inquiry, good luck with this repair!

Hi Beverly, Thank you for the question. The solenoid controls the crushes or cubed ice option. You can try to switch it from cubed to crushed to see if it dispenses and the solenoid is in the down position. The Solenoid may be defective and need to be replaced. Hope this helps!

Hi Augustus, thank you for your question. The first two parts that you should check would be your dispenser solenoid and this crushed/cubed ice solenoid. They can be tested with a multi meter. We have a video that shows how to use a multi meter here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWC44fHn0As. Good luck with your repair.

Hello Pat, Thank you for the question. Checking this model it does not have or require a Diode. We hope this helps.

Hello Linda, thank you for your inquiry. If your ice maker is not dispensing ice, we recommend replacing the Ice Container and Auger Assembly. This can be located under part number PS1991430. We hope this information helps!

Hi James, I would check the icemaker thermostat. Thank you for your question and good luck with your repair!
