Open
the door and hold the door switch down and try the ice dispenser. Do you hear
any thing.You should hear the ice door open and the augur motor turning to turn
the augur which pushes the ice out the door. If the augur doesn't turn Take all
the ice out of the bin and try. perhaps the motor is too weak or the augur is
locked up. Take the bin out and try to see if the motor will turn with no
load. The motor is behind the back cover where the bin sits. See if you
get power to it using a voltmeter when you try the dispenser. If you are,
probably bad motor. If not ,dispenser switch or solenoid is not
working.
There is a solenoid that operates the door that
could have stopped working. Can you hear it?
The hinge on the door could be broken or the
bracket it goes in could be broken. You'll have to look to see what's
wrong.
Remove the dispenser cover by gently prying starting at the
bottom going round and round a little at a time to prevent from breaking it.
When it's off the screws will be exposed to access the other components.
Here's a diagram of your ice dispenser and door.
