The ice anger will be controlled by a motor system, the hummming could bea result of stuck rotor or the motor system is faulty. the motor might needs replacement.this will explain why the ice is not dispenced.

Sounds like the auger motor froze . Remove the ice bin and , using a hair dryer , heat the forks on the dispensor motor . This will thaw out the armature of the motor . Try pressing for ice occasionally to see if forks turn , Have to close the door or push in the lite button to test .

Your problem is probably a broken plastic switch bracket . Pt # 2180226 . To access , use a butter knife between the dispensor grill and the lower portion of the dispensor cover . FIRST , remove the cover on the top freezer hinge , and disconnect the plug there . This removes all power to the door . Insert the knife about 1 " from the side , and push down and inward , to push the plastic tab of the cover , outward . Do the same for the other side . Lift upward to slip the top tabs free of the mount . Disconnect the plug to the dispensor cover , and remove the cover . The white piece with the 2 switches , probably has a short plastic stub , broken off which holds the ice dispensor switch . Looks like maybe 4 small screws , hold the switch bracket on . Transfer the switches carefully ,because you are working with plastic . When reinstalling the dispensor cover , after attaching the receptical , slip the top portion of the cover in place , and pop the bottom to latch the lower clips .

Take it out and let it thaw. -- They can freeze up. Also, there is a gear or small wheel on the front but under a plastic cover, remove the cover and (GENTLY) help the wheel turn (usually clockwise) and you may help to free up a locked wheel that turns the rod which dispenses the ice. Careful and goood luck!! >>>don't force it or you could damage it!!

There is 2 switches in the dispenser that get energized when you push in the levers....check those out. Also there is a small control board in most refrigerators....and that could be malfunctioning.
