I recently moved and the refrigerator sat in the garage for about 3 months. Everything works fine except the Ice Auger does not turn when the Ice switch is pressed. When a glass is pressed into the ice side, the door opens, the light goes on but no Auger movement. I disconnected the motor, connected a wire so I could close the door and then connected that to a volt meter. When pressing the Ice dispenser, I show 0 voltage on the meter. I have checked for both AC and DC. I tried taking the whole unit out of the front of the door but the plastic insert will not come out so I can see behind it. Is there a DC transformer hidden somewhere? Appreciate any input or suggestions. I have tried everything else I could find.

Thanks to a post on one of the boards my problem is solved. There is a plug at the bottom of the freezer door that supplies power to the Auger. I re-seated all three plugs and the Auger is working again. I had to take the doors off to get it in the door of the new house. This was one solution that was left out of most repair boards. Thank you for who ever suggested it.
