There was bunch of common ice makers that fit several models the plastic gears would strip and fail. I’m still young enough to fix stuff, in few years not so much.
Have had great success twice now in just taking out the ice maker and allowing it to completely dry out/defrost. Seems to be tied to amount of time freezer door is left open (makes sense !). However, just before the holidays, after doing this, the ice maker again began to work fine, ice in no time...but...... using the door option, NOTHING comes out when pressing the ice dispense. The auger is definitely turning, but no ice ever drops down the "shoot".... any ideas ? Can't figure it out ! ? Ice makers, in any make refrigerator (we've had many brands) seem to be a big pain in the neck as grand dad used to say !
