Model #253.54739304. My ice maker works fine but doesn't dispense ice. The motor runs but there is a flat metal bar on the auger that fits into a plastic cylinder that turns with the auger. The flat metal bar no longer is stationary but floating on the auger so the cylinder does not turn. Is there a pin or clip that holds this in place?

Hi, The first thing to check is the inlet tube going through the back wall. Make sure it isn't plugged with ice. If the inlet is open, you can remove the front cover on the ice maker and locate the to holes marked M an N. Use an insulated wire and strip off about 1" on the ends. Insert the wire ends into these hole and see if the white gear on the ice maker head starts to turn. Let it advance through the cycle and see if you can hear the inlet valve hum when calling fpr water. If water enters the icemaker, you will need to replace the head modual board or the whole ice maker. There is not much difference in cast.
I hope this helps you. Please let me know if I can assist you further.

Maybe our heater is not working?
