Introduction
If you're only dispensing crushed ice from the machine, verify the following.
Consider resetting your ice maker first.
Causes
When ice is requested, a flap opens which allows for cubed ice to move out whole. If an ice cube becomes trapped in the flap or behind the reservoir, then the ice will not dispense. This can also be seen as very slow crushed ice dispensing.
- Check for ice behind the bucket. If no ice cubes were behind the bucket, remove the bucket and try dispensing ice.
- After shutting the door and depressing the lever, you should hear a loud snapping noise. In the event you don't hear a snap, your flap will need servicing. If you hear a snap, return the bucket and dispense cubed ice again.
While the bin is out, check the bottom for a long metal wire. This wire fits into a square 1" hole in the back of the freezer. This mechanism and arm is what controls dispensing of solid cubes. In the hole is a horizontal bar about 1/4" in diameter.
- Push down the horizontal bar.
- If you remove the ice bin, reset bar each time.
