Ice Dispenser Motor

Ice dispenser arm does not move, no sound after paddle depressed. I have already ordered and received a replacement motor from here, but now I need to know how to access the motor area. How do I remove the panel(s) to access the motor? Please advise!

Does the water dispenser work?

Did you hear a beep when you depressed the ice release paddle?

Which motor did you order?

Did you test it or you are just guessing?

Thanks Gene for the reply. Yes the water works, neither the water or ice paddle beep when depressed. I just thought it was probably the motor so I ordered the only one shown on the schematic.

I’m assuming you are talking about the ice door motor.

The instructions are attached to the reply.

Thanks Gene, this will get me into the motors. Do you also have a “testing sequence” for the IDI motor? Also, if these motors are OK, what else should I check.

You are welcome. These instructions are attached to this reply.
