The motor was never offered as an individual replacement part. The entire dispenser assembly was the only way the motor was availabler. Marcone Appliance Parts (1-800-482-6022) shows a single dispenser (11001187) left in their national inventory in the Jacksonville, FL location.

You need a 110VAC to 12VAC power transformer. This is an AC transformer; not a DC wall wart. You do not have to worry about polarity. Anything capable of delivering at least 12 watts will work. You can probably find one at your local hardware store (I happen to collect junk like this and found one in my collection). I know that this is late, but I had the same problem and had to take mine apart to determine what was needed. Maybe someone else will find this information useful.

If it's not cooling and the internal lights and fan are working, then the problem is either the start relay or the overload relay. I checked the model number you posted and I didn't get any information for the number. Please double check the number that is posted inside the unit. In the mean time, take a look at this relay kit. It is a combination start relay, run capacitor and overload relay all in one. Usually the start relay will run you around $25.00 alone so this is what I use to repair this type of problem at a fraction of the cost. Again, please check that model number again and I will get you the pricing for the individual parts. It is best to replace all the relays if one goes out.Here is a link to the ERP410 relay kit.Regards,Richard

read a post that said to manipulate the sensor a little, but when I found out where the sensor was (it is in the back of the door, behind the panel just to the right of the opening and the flap behind two screws) I found that there was nothing wrong with the sensor at all. The problem was simply that my door flap was not closing completely (and thus not tripping the sensor). It seems that if the door does not close completely that the machine thinks that there is a jam. I held the flap down completely and pushed the button and out came a drink from any button. I cleaned the flap and lubricated it with a little WD40 and BAM, back in business. I could not believe it was something so simple. It took two minutes to fix! Hope your has the same so it can be that simple.

NOTE: This
is a multi-solution answer since I don't have all the tech from your question to pinpoint your problem
But the solution is in here generically, if you read and study the solutions very,very carefully.

Sounds like the cold control has stuck . Unplug the two wires from the cold control and plug them together. Turn one wire over and plug it into the other. away from the cold control.
The cold control is the knob in the ref that turns it on and off and has numbers on it. (Thermostat)
If it runs then that cold control (Thernostat) is the problem.
If that doesn't work DO THIS:
The relay on the compressor may need replaced
A relay starts the compressor with a higher voltage and then quickly kicks out
Thats what is happening with yours
Its best for a tech to replace The relay but you can do it
Take your model number to your Local Appliance parts store they will have a diagram
showing you how to install the relay. Its called a hard start relay
also try hooking the two wires together on the cold control to route around the cold control.
Be sure the BACK COVER is in place and hasnt been accidently removed.

It could either be very low on freon or it could mean that the compressor is out. You should check the compressor out before you put a lot of money into the freon.

This sounds like the compartment circulation fan is running slow. Check to see if it is running at full speed.

The circulation fan is supposed to run all of the time to keep the contents at an even temp. Also check the compartment door seals for damage. If the seal is damaged ambient air will cause the top of the compartment to warm up.

If you need help with manuals just respond here and I will get back to you.
