This is a simple thing. the solenoids get rusted and jam stuck in position. you can just clean the device but for all the trouble it should be replaced.

Fridge Freezer model KA58NP90 Ice maker problem
What is most likely your problem is the crushed ice solenoid. This solenoid, which is located next to the auger motor behind the ice bucket, is failing to actuate when you request cubed ice. Its "home" setting is crushed, and actuates to allow cubes past the crushing mechanism in the bucket. To be certain its the problem, remove the ice bucket, and tape the door light switch in the closed position. actuate the ice dispenser lever, for both cubed and crushed ice. you will see a square hole next to the rotating fork, when you select cubes, it should open. If it does open, there is something wrong with your ice bucket, perhaps the arm is broken, or the door inside bucket is off its snap in type hinge or broken altogether. If it doesnt open, replace the solenoid

Ice maker dispenses cruched ice in cube ice mode
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.
With your model number I can find a diagram which may help.

Ice maker only dispenses crushed ice, won't dispense cubed ice anymore.
I have a GE TFX25ppbaaa refrigerator. The ice maker corkscrew motor would run and provide crushed ice only. The corkscrew motor would not run when the switch was moved to the cubed ice ( half moon) setting.

I replaced the large Light/ water/ crushed ice/cubed ice switch , ( product service number GEH WR55X129 ) ( part number GE 162D6372 PO17 )and it fixed the problem. Cost was about $43.00.

Ice maker is crushing ice when cube ice button is on
We've had a similar problem, possibly the same, with our LG in-door ice maker. Whether cubed ice or crushed ice is selected, it crushes the ice.

We found that there is a little lever on the inside of the door, on the lower right behind the ice bin, which freezes in the down position. This is a literal "freeze up", as a block of ice forms in the little well under this switch and eventually freezes the switch in place. Since the switch needs to go up to provide cubed,.. we only get crushed. On 3 separate occassions we've thawed and chipped out (carefully) this little ice dam and gotten cubed ice capability back for a few weeks. At which point it freezes again. I have no idea why water collects there in the first place.

Ice maker stuck on ''crushed'' ice
i think it's simpler than that. there's a plastic gate that snaps UP for cubed and DOWN for crushed.
When you remove the tray, set it to CRUSHED, BEFORE putting the tray back in place.

Ice maker will only dispense crushed ice
You may have a broken solenoid inside the motor assembly.  The solenoid controls the arm for cubed or crushed ice.  The only way to tell is remove the ice dispenser motor assembly and look at the solenoid.  If the solenoid is broken, replace it and everything should be ok.

Curious problem with Maytag fridge I'm having an issue with my french door bottom freezer fridge. Model # mfi2269vew5 I hear a whirring? noise, then a different clattering noise, then the power cuts out for a second. the control panel goes dark, This same cycle repeats for about 15 minutes. Everything seems fine until it starts over again. It seems to happen at least 3 times a day at various times. I'm at work most days so not exactly sure. 8 am, 10 am 3 am..I don't see a pattern. I took a video of the control panel and another video of the inside of the fridge behind the ice maker with the bin removed. That seems like where the noise is coming from. I tried to include the videos here but my question didn't post. They probably don't allow links on this site. My repair guy is puzzled. Of course it doesn't happen when he's here! Any help would be appreciated. I can send the videos if anybody thinks it would help.

Magic chef ice maker stops... Why why why? It seems normal but as soon as the shovel gets to the back it stops and cube size light goes out. Can't press a size again without shutting off... the aluminum nips feel cool but not cold. Fan never starts. I found it and am attempting repair... The motor that turns and moved the shovel was seized. I worked it loose and lubed it - seems to run ok. Appears to be in descent shape, disassembled and cleaned pump impeller. Wasn't bad. Radiator had hair and dust layer - removed w toothbrush. Pump and fan turned on when disconnected and given 12vdc. On start ithe stepping motor triangle rotates until it hits the forward switch. Moves to middle seems to pause briefly then moves to the back switch and stops as described above. That's about all I got .. The water tubes appeared clean might try vinegar and reverse blow out but in starting it squirts and trickles in what appears unimpeded flow. . Curious no fan starts... Thank in advance for any ideas, I'd love to see this back in service Hollister
