ED5GTQXKQ01 Whirlpool Side by Side motor not turning.

We have a ED5GTQXKQ01 Whirlpool Side by Side Refrigerator and the Ice dispenser is not dispensing. We changed and replaced both the motor and solenoid however no luck with either. Could it be wiring or are we just not doing something right or testing it properly? Any advice to test the connections or motor/solenoid would be helpful. The motor will turn by hand but when we hold the switch and push solenoid in nothing gives it power to turn.

This is a complicated system to diagnose, and one not recommended by the average DIYer. I would recommend in this case to have a qualified whirlpool technician at least inspect and give you a diagnosis. Due to its complicated nature, and the difficulty in accessing all the parts needed to test, if done incorrectly, you could further damage the door, or the dispenser module.

Frigidaire is not dispensing ice

Good Afternoon, thank you for your inquiry!

I see you are having trouble with your Frigidaire refrigerator dispenser not dispensing ice. Do you hear the auger motor running when calling for ice? If you do not, the dispenser may be jammed or the refrigerator has a faulty auger motor. I suggest try clearing any ice that is blocking the ice chute, removing any frozen ice or obstructions, verifying that the water valve or fill tube is not frozen. If any proves to be ineffective contact a professional to move forward accurately.

Best regards! - Z

Why doesn't the auger drive motor work?

seems like the motor to turn the auger might be having issues getting power inside the door panel but if your able to move it freely it could mean the motor is burned up or isnt getting power

Whirlpool GS6NBE side by side ice maker works fine but the ice dispenser doesn't. I can hear a sound and a click when I push it and the dispenser flap works but no ice will come out. Water works fine.

The four prong (flat) plug to the ice maker (in the freezer compartment) in my Whirlpool Gold SbyS Refrigerator; should I be able to test for 120 Volts with a tester, should this plug be 'HOT"?

The flap may be getting stuck on the ice guide which is mounted on the arm you push in th dispense the ice . ( pt # 2180224 ) . Try pushing the arm in and look to see if the flap is catching on the clear plastic piece .
