There is no sound like a motor trying to work, the piece that turns to dispense the ice is ok and will turn free, when removed from unit. The unit makes and and dispenses water fine, everything else works fine. Any Advice? Charlie

Remove the wires from the motor and check the motor for continuity. Check for 120VAC to the motor while the dispenser calls for ice and the door light switch depressed. Post the results. Gene.

When pressing the pad, it makes a noise that sounds like a low hum (has always made this noise) and then nothing follows. Model # GF6NFFXTY00 Serial # SU1131453
