The shaft has a tooth on the end which is locked in the yoke. Now this tooth has broken and is rotating along with yoke and the shaft not. Unfortunately the parts supplier does not supply the shaft as spare part but the whole icemaker kit which is about $100. However there is some very special glue that can weld it but this can work one in five times. I have tried it with glue once and stay for more than a year. Try to replace from un old refrigerator icemaker but was different.
Just to confirm

Make sure that the ice bucket is fully inserted. If the ice bucket is not fully inserted, when you press the dispenser lever you will hear the motor run, but no ice will be dispensed. Remove the ice bucket, and then reinstall the ice bucket. Check if the AUGER MOTOR is operating well.
When you press the ice lever, the operation sound should be heard and the ice flap should be opened.----------------------------- You can get required parts from www.repairclinic.com Thanks. Keep

Did you hear a click when you tried to get an ice cubes?-----
If there is no sound at all and not even a click,then remove the ice bin and the bracket Remove the wires from the motor and check the motor for continuity.
Check for 120VAC to the motor while the dispenser calls for ice and the door light switch depressed.
see if you are getting voltage to the auger motor when the disp button is pushed.If there is no voltage then a new motor required , but see if there is any ice stuck in the mechanism. Perhaps the ice melted and refroze. Take the storage drawer out and let everything melt.
you can get required parts from "sears part direct site " or from "repairclinic .com" or from "partsselect .com"

It seems that the solenoid on this motor has gone. And needs special attention of a professional.

The motor is fine and it turns; it is the yoke on the end of the motor shaft that is turning freely on the shaft. How do I make the yoke rigid on the shaft.

It appears you are not familiar with this type of ice mechanism. I need to talk to someone who knows it well and can advise me on a course of action.
For some reason it appears I am not being very clear. The motor works fine and turns when you press the start lever. The ice tray is inserted all the way. The problem is that the YOKE on the end of the motor shaft that fits into the slot at the end of the ice tray turns freely on the motor shaft instead of being rigid. I can't figure out what tools to use to take the yoke off and make it rigid.
Thanks for the help. Do you happen to know the part number of the kit you mentioned earlier. Sounds like my best bet.
Best Regards,
Mike Drumm
