Have a mirrored whirlpool American fridge freezer - side by side....it has a water and ice dispenser. The ice dispenser is nolonger working. The ice maker part is still working - but we have to open the freezer door and take the ice out of the dispenser box now - as when we push the dispenser it doesn't even make a noise anymore - (its not even trying to start dispensing) let alone pushing the ice out...

water dispenser is fine.

any ideas please? This was an ex*****ve fridge and is a few months out of warranty - so we're well cheesed off...is it perhaps something electrical within the freezer as it isn't even "turning over" if you like...it's dead... :(((

Could be the auger motor has jammed and burnt out? Seen that a couple of times with these. Also, control pcb' are not the world's most reliable....
