The dispenser dispenses water just fine and sometimes it dispenses crushed ice, but it will not dispense just plain ice. Any thoughts on what part needs replacement?

If you move the toggle switch on the front of the refrigerator from "water" mode to "crushed ice" mode on occasion you will get some crushed ice. Not always. If you move the toggle to "whole Ice" you get nothing at all. There is a humming/buzzing noise, but no ice movement. The ice maker is making tons of ice and the water pressure is very strong.

It may be frozen. If there is nothing wrong I would recommend to replace this solenoid and the dispenser control board. - The solenoid Part number: AP2071947 - The dispenser control board Part number: AP2071638 Here are the breakdown diagrams and Replacement parts for General Electric TPX24SPBABS Refrigerator \| AppliancePartsPros.com Gene.

The best (and quickest) way is to get to the part, but if you have problems with that you can defrost the freezer. Gene.
