My refrigerator is stuck on crush and I want cubes. I push the cube button but it remains on crush
Your ice solenoid is frozen. It is located behind the ice bucket next to the auger motor. It will need to be removed, unfrozen, and squirt a little wd40 to prevent it from happening again

There is a little bar that is on the ice bucket. That bar has to go into the middle of the plastic square that is on the back wall of the freezer. Try Pulling out the ice bucket, get a hair dryer and run the hair dryer on the back wall of the freezer right above the hole where that little bar goes. After you run the hair dryer for about 10 minutes or so put your finger in the hole and pull down on the plastic square. Make sure when you put the ice bucket back in the freezer, the bar goes inside the square hole, not under it, not over it. In it. If that doesn't fix the problem you probably just need a new solenoid. Part number 5304404333
Let me know how you make out. Good Luck

Check the bar below the icemaker bin. There is a gold color metal bar that goes from the front of the bin to the back and goes into a lever at the back of the freezer. If the bar gets on the wrong side of the lever it will be stuck in crushed mode.

SOURCE: 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.

Sounds like air has gotten into your ice bucket and created a block of ice. Empty your ice bucket into salad bowl make sure the cubes are separated. Run warm water through your bucket especially the opening that the ice falls through make sure the pathway is clear. Pour the ice from the salad bowl back into your ice bucket and try cubed ice again see what happens.
Hi Clark, this is AP. From what you have briefly mentioned, it sounds or it appears as your Frigidaire refrigerator is having difficulties with changing the type of ice that is dispensing. Below are instructions on how to adjust this. 1. Take out the ice bin to access the switch in the freezer. 2. Underneath the ice bin is a metal rod. 3. In the back of the freezer there is a square hole from where the rod came. Put your finger in this hole. 4. You should feel a plastic lever. If it's up, push it down. If it's down, push it up. 5. Put the ice bin back and try for ice again. You should receive crushed and cubed ice at this time. 6. If you push the lever up or down and it doesn't stay in place you should contact an authorized service technician for repair. However, if you are seeing that the panel on the dispenser itself is not changing to cubed when you select cubed the trouble could be within the control panel. If the instructions above do not solve the problem or the trouble seems to be the control panel we are confident that an authorized service agent will be able to restore your appliance to its normal operating condition. I have provided a link below to assist in locating an authorized technician.
