Refrigerator & Freezer Repair

I copied this post since it the same as mine. I have no burning smell in the motor and although I do not know how to test the solenoid, I feel it is the switch in the door.

Makes ice great, but the auger will not operate. Here is what I have done.

1. The front flapper door works fine, as does the in door water.
2. The auger rotates freely.
3. Manualy rotated the motor, gears are fine.

I suspect that a switch is bad, but I dont know which one, or were.

Any ideas would be helpfull...........................

Hi Mike,

Most likely the problem is a bad switch but it does not come separate.

The whole front cover should be replaced as an assembly.

In order to provide the right part number I need the color of the original front cover.

Here are the break down diagrams for the Whirlpool refrigerator Model ED5FHGXKT00
