check the water line fron filter that continues on to water dispfrom icemaker, also a bad water disp solenoid or no pwr to water valve disp solenoid could be a problem,when you try to disp water can you hear a click from the solenoid operating to let water out?
If you cant manually turn your auger motor, it may be bad. Does it dispense solid ice or no ice at all? Another thing may be your control panel. That could be bad too, it's the one sending juice to both your solenoid and auger motor.
I believe your ice maker has an electronic control module located in the front and just behind the front cover. Below is a view and number one in the picture is that module. Unplug refrigerator and carefully remove the ice maker and its front cover to expose the module. If corrosion or signs of burn marks the complete new replacement would. By chance if yours has a set screw you may be able to adjust the screw to shorten the time the water flows into ice maker. This is the part you will need to replace if the module is defective. Part number D7824706Q You also can unplug the ice maker dual water control valve on back and near floor on back of your refrigerator. The water control valve may be defective and letting water to continue to flow to the ice maker while off. If you need to contact me my email is [email protected]

Dispenser controls on any refrigerator actuate one of two things. Ice disp, or water disp. If the IM is not working also, then H20 valve is bad. If just the H20 disp feature isn't working in the door, try this: remove food and unplug unit for 24 hours. Then, plug back in and resume normal operation. If all checks ok, you have a frozen water tank, or frozen water line. Fix: on certain model ref's, there is a water tank service flash where an antifreeze insulation kit should be installed, contact Sears or your retailer for this information. On others, this is simply a freeze up caused by lack of H20 usage or temps in ref/freezer set too low. If this does not fix the water supply, and you still have ice production after 2-5 hours after restarting the ref, remove the dispenser cover and test the water supply actuator switch for continuity. of open after drepression, replace switch. If switch checks ok, then replace water valve as on side of the solonoid valve assy is not functioning. In rare cases, you may have to check or replace the wiring harness. This can be tested only after elimenating the disp switch test, and calling for H20 from the disp, voltage at the disp wires to the H20 valve, but no voltage recieved at the h20 valve, or by an ohm reading of the wires.
new unit then call for sears warranty, other wise, if you use powder detergent it could be built up if it coming out front.. remove drwr by pressing tab at rear and pulling out. cracked drwr? accumulation in disp asm? or crack in disp asm/housing. approx $100 for dispenser asm. (not drawer)
as long as its not broken you will see 3 tabs on the back of the collar one looks like a downward hook and the other 2 are across form oneanother and look like clips. slide the hook end into the square hole on the dispenser lever then tilt the top 2 clips up toward the disp door. it is a very tight fit i usually can get it past the cover with a little force. if you think it may break you can remove the disp cover by prying the cover off at the 2 slots located on the bottom of the disp cover. good luck peyton
