The ice shoot is not clogged. The auger is not frozen. The u-shaped gear behind the ice making unit turns freely. The sound seems to be coming from the control panel itself.

It may be sticking and not opening. Part 13 on diagram 3 includes the solenoid. Replacement parts for MAYTAG MZD2766GEB \| AppliancePartsPros.com remove the cover by gently prying it starting at the bottom.
