Carefully use a heat gun under the solenoid/auger motor panel to thaw out an ice build up.

Done, now it dispenses cubed ice!

Thanks, worked for me also!

Unless you can see a loose wire connection on the solenoid and there is no noise coming from it when you try the dispenser, I would start with the solenoid.

nothing is moving at all .it is stuck in crushed ice position ..there are so many parts to go with this ..not sure what it needs..

You have a solenoid switch It switches the dispenser back and forth from crushed to cube. It could be stuck or not working or the parts connecting it could be disconnected or broken. You will have to observe to see if any parts are moving and if any noise is coming from the solenoid. See the diagram and parts list of the dispenser here.
