How to install ice chute in ed5jhgxrqoo - Whirlpool Refrigerators

If your refrigerator's ice maker is working, but no ice is dispensing through the dispenser, there are a few possible causes and troubleshooting steps you can try:

1. Check the ice chute: Make sure the ice chute is clear of any ice obstructions. Sometimes, ice can get stuck in the chute, blocking the flow of ice to the dispenser. Use a plastic utensil or a straw to clear any ice buildup or debris in the chute.
2. Inspect the dispenser mechanism: Open the dispenser area and check if any part of the mechanism is obstructed or damaged. Look for any ice blockages or misaligned parts that may be preventing ice from being dispensed properly. Clean or repair any issues you identify.
3. Verify the dispenser solenoid: The ice dispenser is usually operated by a solenoid that controls the release of ice from the ice maker. Ensure the solenoid is functioning correctly by listening for a clicking sound when you press the ice dispenser paddle. If you don't hear a click, the solenoid may be faulty and require replacement.
4. Check the dispenser motor: The dispenser motor is responsible for activating the auger that pushes ice through the chute. If the motor is not functioning properly, it may need to be replaced. Test the motor by activating the ice dispenser and listening for any humming or buzzing sounds. If you hear the sound but the auger is not turning, the motor may be faulty.
5. Inspect the ice bucket: Ensure that the ice bucket is properly installed and seated in the correct position. Sometimes, if the bucket is not aligned correctly, it can prevent ice from flowing through the dispenser. Remove the ice bucket and reposition it securely.
6. Check the water supply: Make sure the refrigerator has a steady water supply. If the water supply is interrupted or the water filter is clogged, it can affect the ice production and dispenser functionality. Check the water line and replace the water filter if necessary

Yes the flap is supposed to close completly to stop the moist kitchen air freezing in the chute and blocking it

Remove the ice bin. Remove two screws, holding the ice maker and unplug the power cord. Remove the ice maker.
On the new ice maker install the water chute (plugs in) and install the new ice maker.

Sounds like the chute door was not shutting properly and the ice was melting a bit and sticking together . Replace door and it may work fine

My ice cube chute kept freezing, and I realized the Access Door was stuck open. I was able to replace it without taking the door apart.

order the chute assy old pull out and down holding the lever as to not break it other snaps in reverse order

on the right hand side of the door chute there is a little metal barrel that needs to be attached to the end of the arm that holds the ice door. this is attached to the spring that opens and closes the door chute.

I have a GE Profile PSW26P Stainless Steel Side by Side refrigerator that makes plenty of ice but will not dipense when the lever is pushed. The dispenser makes not sound when engaged. What do you think the problem is.

the door is opened by a solenoid. it is bad or it is not getting voltage due to bad control or wiring

first check would be to see if the flapper door is closing all the way in the dispenser area. best way is to remove the ice bucket and shine a flashlight from the front up into the disp door area and look for light around the door from inside the chute.

another check would be to make sure the door delay mechanism is connected an not allowing the dispenser door to close to fast trapping a cubes in the door and causing an air leak in the chute..

Keep in mind if you use alot of crushed ice frost build up is faster than with just cubed.
