Hi and welcome to FixYa, I am Kelly Motor The motor is now located on the freezer door in a foamed-in-place enclosure under the "dispenser bubble" area of the inner door panel. The motor is mounted to a plastic mounting bracket, which, in turn, is mounted to the enclosure with four mounting screws. The motor operates on 115 volts DC (115 volts AC is delivered to the motor, where it is converted within the motor assembly to DC). This gives the motor a higher RPM than the earlier dispenser motors, and results in a faster ice delivery rate in both the cubed and crushed modes. Crushed ice is delivered by turning the motor in a clockwise direction, and cubed ice is delivered when the motor turns in a counterclockwise

direction.
See pages 36 - 40 (starts on printed page 5-12) for checking the motor and the switch pack.
This will deterime what has failed.
Thanks for choosing FixYa,

hello,
i am just kind of wondering why something generic would be sent to answer that question ,when it takes just a quick second to search the model number listed and see that it isnt the new style where the dispenser is in the door ,yet it is the older style, i have been a appliance tech for a long time and wonder why ppl give bad advice
This auger bin has a mechanical crusher that is actuated by a solenoid in the rear of the cabinet. It solenoid is item 33 of this link: The auger motor makes one revolution approximately every three seconds. To determine the free movement of the auger motor, place the selector switch in either cube or crushed position (slide selector models). On electronic models, push the cube or crushed selector pad. Open the freezer door, push and hold the cabinet interlock switch in the closed position (cabinet light switch) while pushing the dispenser actuator pad. The solenoid is energized only when the selector switch is in the cube position. This will pull back the actuated blades. To determine the free movement of the solenoid/ yoke assembly, place the selector switch (slide selector models) in the cube position. On electronic models, push the cube selector pad. Open the freezer door. While pushing the dispenser actuator pad, push and hold the cabinet interlock switch in the closed position. Observe the control rod 10. To check the solenoid yoke assembly, attach an ohmmeter to the solenoid terminals. The meter should show resistance. If it does not show resistance, replace the solenoid yoke assembly. 11. Remove the four screws that fasten the solenoid yoke assembly to the enclosure. Remove the assembly from the

There is also a yoke assembly item 34 and a yoke guide item 22.
If you do not hear the solenoid in addition to the auger motor the solenoid has most likely failed. If you hear the solenoid but still do not have ice then either the youke or the yoke guide has a problem.
The service manual for this unit is 16010154.pdf and the solenoid and yoke are on page 61 of the manual. (net search 16010154.pdf)

enclosure.
Also check movement of the ice / auger bin lever and see if it is actually moving on the ice bin and that it moves arm on the crusher assembly of the ice bin. If it is not actuated by the lever you may have to replace it..

Pull outthe ice bucket and you will see a metal arm/lever on left side of the bucket,look in the back wall of the freezer where that arm fits into and most likely it will be frozen into place,that goes up and down to close a door in ice bucket and hold the ice in while it crushs it or it opens the door to let cubes out whole(uncrushed) wiggle the plunger a few times and it should free up . if it does move freely and isnt froze in place the soloniod the operates it is defective.
