Got rid of all the ice that might be blocking. Carefully aligned auger and plastic parts over each other, and pushed down. Would not seat completely flush. Ice is still made and enters the dispenser bin.

First pull out the ice bucket and close the door. Set for cubed ice. Press the button for ice to come out and listen for a loud clunk noise. That is the sound of the solenoid. You can open the door, hold the light switch and press the button and watch for the solenoid moving up and down. Solenoid is at the back of the freezer in a little square opening where the rod on the ice bucket goes into. If that solenoid is moving ok then put the bucket back in while the solenoid is in the down position and cubes should work. If solenoid is not working then it will need to be replaced. Let me know what you find.

i had same exact problem, i search over and over for solution. I even change the auger moter.
here is the solution for this particular problem.....
with the fridge door closed, remove bottom catch tray under ice dispenser revealing two screws, take off screws and slide front trim up to remove, you will have to unplug switch on trim to fully remove, look in top right corner there is black switch the will most likely be loose, this switch is your problem, mine was basically dislodged and the ice dispenser lever was not making contact, i simply zipped tied and siliconed the switch back to its respective place. if yours is making a good connection then the switch its self must be bad, you can test the switch by using the switch from water dispenser side...
i hope this helps
SOURCE: Ice maker makes ice, but won't dispense.
if you hear a click when the actuator is depressed the swt is ok remove ice bin and try rotating auger mtr by hand if you can't the auger motor is frozen, you can remove the whole auger asm and let it thaw out and dry out for a few days
SOURCE: Fridge won't dispense ice through door.
First take the hopper out and let it de-ice completely making sure that it is dry before re-installing it. Make sure that the auger moves when re installed with no ice in it.

this is not a solution, but an explanation- our repair man said that there is a line (tube) containing electric wires that passes from the frig to the door at the bottom of the door, near the hinge. for what ever reason, the line has broken, thus keeping the electric from getting to the motor that dispense ice and water- solution= $700 for a new door; we'll do without
