Ice dispenser does not turn-no
Hi john_jaeg556,
It seems like your auger motor was shorted out. That is fairly common with this model because water will drip straight down onto the auger motor.
You should be able to replace the part yourself if you're handy. To access the part, you open the freezer door first. Get on your hands and knees and look under the ice dispenser area. There is either a 4" x 6" plastic cover you can unscrew to access the motor, or you need to remove the ice bin and remove everything from the top down.
Hope it helps.
Thank you for using FixYa.

Freezer stopped making ice
Simple solution works in many cases. Thaw machine out. Unplug and open doors, let stand for 4 hours. Plug back in and test.

My ice cubes have a funny odor/taste.
Does your refrigerator have a water filter? if it has one it will be in the kickplate/grill below the freezer door. If it has one replace the filter.

On normal operation my freezer alarm will not stop
Have you cleaned the condenser grill and made sure you have plenty of air flow around the unit? It might also be time to take the food out and completely defrost your freezer! Since you do have an ice build up on your evaporator grill.

I have whirlpool imperial series refrigerator
You will probably have to remove the back panel, which is the evaporator cover. The defrost water drain is always at the base of the coil. **** the drain out and pour some hot water down it

My whirlpool chest freezer runs but does not
Hello,
Fan problem is one of the most common reasons for the freezer to start
failing, this is called "frost free failure." Ice can build up on the
evaporator coils over time, and this ice builds up until it starts
blocking the fan. The fan is responsible for circulating cold air
throughout the freezer, so if it is blocked the freezer will not be able
to freeze any food. You can usually check this by removing an access
panel in the back of the freezer to inspect the coils. If ice is built
up on the coils, a hairdryer can assist in defrosting them.
It's also possible that the fan is not running at all. If the fan is
burned out or the motor isn't running, cold air can't circulate through
the freezer and everything will melt. You can normally hear the fan
motor switch on and off from time to time. Listen for it and if you
can't hear it coming on for an extended period of time, the motor may
need repair or replacement. The wires connecting to the fan may be the
problem, preventing the fan from receiving electricity.
Several other problems could be keeping your freezer from freezing:
There could be leaks in one or several of the hoses in the refrigerator,
which results in the cold air being lost instead of circulating
properly throughout the fridge and freezer.
If you have the freezer so full that the cold air can't circulate, your
food will thaw even though the freezer isn't malfunctioning. Always
leave some space open in the freezer and try to not store food right up
against the cooling vents.
The thermostat might have shorted out, which means the freezer can't
accurately determine how cold it is. If this is the case, the
refrigerator would probably not be working, either.
If your defrost drain becomes clogged, the water in the line will just
refreeze over and over again, which could damage the lines as well as
the fan. Always check the drain and make sure no sludge is building up
in it if you have a self-defrosting refrigerator.
Always try to keep the freezer door closed for long periods of time. The
more the door is opened, the more warm air is let in and cold air is
released. If the door is opened frequently, the freezer could be warming
faster than the fridge can cool it, which will thaw your food.
I hope this helps........
Best regards.

My Whirlpool Intergrated Freezer AFB
This one requires more information. If the breaker trips randomly, then I say there is grounding problem between the plug and the freezer itself. I know the UK has a very large plug and it requires a serious connection into the wall. I would check and make sure you have a good ground on the box itself. You may have to removed the back and look at the connections If you have a V-OHM meter you can verify the ground through different parts of the freezer. If this never happen before and you just bought this freezer I would replace the breaker with a new one. The breaker maybe damaged and sensitive to heat from the current draw of the freezer. Also make sure it is the correct ampere required to run the freezer.
