If you remove the bin and look on the bottom of it you will see a rod running from front to back,this opens and closes the crusher see if it moves freely, if not dump the ice and rinse the bin out with hot water till it moves freely,if so,with the door open set the dispenser to cubes leave the bin out push the light switch in and hit the  dispenser button you should hear a loud pop and see the actuator by the auger motor move up,and drop down when you release it.

LG ice maker will not dispense cubes without crushing them

Check the evaporator system, that release the cubes, when that does not work the cubes stay stuck inside.

MY ICEMAKER IS STUCK IN THE CRUSHED ICE CYCLE WONT PUT OUT THE CUBED ?? EVEN WHEN I PUSH THE BUTTON BACK AND FORTH WONT SWITCH ??

if you have selected cubed on the door and still wont dispense cubed ice likely cause is the cubed ice solinoid( located behind the panel in where the auger motor is located) thats the motor that turns the curly thing in the ice cube resivoir.....!!!

Will not send ice cubes down the shoot just chopped ice and chilled water. The problem started when the freezer door was left open on the fridgeadair fridge.

You have a solenoid switch which switches the dispenser back and forth from crushed to cube. It could be stuck or not working or the parts connecting it could be disconnected or broken. You will have to observe to see if any parts are moving and if any noise is coming from the solenoid

My GE refridge will not dispence ice cubes, but will crushed ice and water. The solenoid that lifts the rod to open the door for cubes will not work. So how can I tell if the switch is bad, or solenoid bad...

The best way , would be for you to remove the ice bin , remove the 2 or 4 screws holding the panel which holds the solenoid and auger motor . Connect a volt meter to the 2 wires connected to the solenoid ( disconnect both wires ) , push the dispensor arm , and see if you get 120 volts . During this process , you may find a part broken or burnt . I have yet to find a switch bad , usually a burnt solenoid , or pin out ,etc.

Ice cube button is lite but the only dipenses crushed ice

We have had this problem on occasion. The lever up in the ice dispencer gets jammed with frost and ice. If you remove the ice bucket/auger and let it thaw or just rinse it with water and dry it. Give it a try. -Matt

Ice cube maker only dispences crushed ice no cubes

remove ice bin look at small square opening reach in with your finger and pull down on vertical rod if it doesn't come down you'll have to remove complete auger asm from freezer (remove 2 1/4 screws and unplug electrical connection lift asm up and pull forward ) set out at lest 24 hours for asm to defrost and dry out then reinstall auger asm

Ice cubes will not dispense, but crushed ice will. GE Profile TPX24PRYA

If the auger motor turns in either setting we know that the auger motor is OK, and if it does not turn in both crushed and cubes that leaves a problem with the WR55X129 time delay, which is the part that you switch to go from cubes to crushed to water.

GE GSS25LGM Ice maker not dispensing ice

You have one of three things wrong. The auger motor is frozen up, the ice bucket is broken or you need to dump out any ice, run warm water through the entire ice bucket, dry it out and try again with fresh cubes. My guess is the auger motor is frozen. You can buy a vinyl boot that covers the auger motor to prevent moisture buildup and freezing from GE Parts at 1-800-626-2002
