Ice chute door hangs open ...kenmore 106.57904700

Take everything out of your freezer and store it somewhere else (like another freezer, or cool bags with ice packs.
Leave the door open with a towel hanging over the top to prevent it from shutting. Disconnect the freezer from the mains and leave it for 48 hours to completely defrost.
The floor will get wet, so prepare for some mopping!!

It fell of the bottom of your ice maker put your model number into repairclinic.com and you can find a pic or video that shows you how to put it back together

On Mine, the solenoid connection fell off that allows the ice to dispense, Thank you so much!

most likely the ice chute door isn't fully closing,if you open the freezer door and look into the chute and see ANY light coming through the chutedoor is the problem

Good day,
All cooling comes from the freezer compartment. There is a supply vent connecting the top of the freezer to supply some cold air from the freezer thru the opening on the top connecting the freezer compartment to the fridge side.
As well there is a second opening or return chute located in the fresh food section on the bottom lower half, that allows air to return the air back to the freezer, completing the air flow cycle.In almost all cases, the return chute going from the fresh food section to the freezer compartment has become blocked.
Usually iced up.
It will ned to be completely defrosted. Many times, the return chute is difficult to see and in many cases almost impossible to defrost easily.
If you can see the blockage, then it can be defrosted with the gentle use of a hair dryer.
However, if too difficult to access, you may need to open both doors and leave the machine unplugged for an extended period, usually 12 to 24 hours.

I know it's a pain, but sometimes necessary. Many times, rushing a refrigerator repair is impossible.
The reaon it works when you open the doors is, you have given the machine a secondary source of air from the room.

Try cleaning the edges of the flap and the ice chute as well. Once you've done that, check to see if the pivot rod is fully engaged at end side, as having it out of position could be causing it to "hang up" and not fully close.

If the rod has been knocked out of position, reposition it with your hands then you can lightly lube each end at the pivot points, with a food grade silicon lubricating spray. Use ONLY a food grade lubricant so you don't end up getting nasty tasting ice cubes or contaminating the cubes as they pass thru the chute and flap.

If that doesn't resolve the problem, you'll need to remove the chute & flap assembly from the dispenser section of the door and check for the return spring engagement, as it may have become disconnected and as a result, isn't closing the flap fully, as it should.

To do this, you'll need to remove the trim bezel around the dispenser section with a plastic putty knive (to avoid scratching the trim). be very careful when prying the bezel, do it VERY carefully so as not to snap/break the trim piece. Once you have that removed, you can see and get at the retaining screw(s) that hold the chute & flap assembly on the door panel.

Check the line drawing attached for proper part placement of the spring (part #63) and for seeing how your particular dispenser is attached to the freezer door.

Hope you find this Very Helpful and best regards!

There is a solenoid that operates the door that could have stopped working. Can you hear it?
The hinge on the door could be broken or the bracket it goes in could be broken. You'll have to look to see what's wrong.

Remove the dispenser cover by gently prying starting at the bottom going round and round a little at a time to prevent from breaking it. When it's off the screws will be exposed to access the other components.

You will have to remove the unit and access the rear of freezer. Check that the filters are not plugged as well as drain.

Any chance of some photoes may be able to figure out if have some pics.

the door is opened by a solenoid. it is bad or it is not getting voltage due to bad control or wiring
