I had another issue posted, that was diagnosed to be a problem with the Cold Control not regulating the temp. After replacing that, the fridge is now keeping my food cold.
However before this, the ice cubes would melt and drip about half a cup of water into the ice cube section of the door. I would put a cup under it to catch the water ever couple of hours, but this did not help when I was sleeping or away at work, so there’d be more water every so often. In hindsight I probably should have taken the ice cube basin out of the freezer entirely.
After replacing the cold control, and the fridge is keeping cold, I soon noticed that when I put a cup under to get some ice-cubes, that it did not turn on to do the dispensing of the ice. The water side of the door does indeed work, so that is good.
I checked to see if there was ice buildup under the ice bucket inside. After cleaning off the ice, and reseating the bucket it still did not work. The arm inside the bucket does spin if turned manually, but there is no ‘motor’ sound at all when depressing the cup-switch to turn on the ice dispenser.
Could there be ice somewhere else? Or could something have shorted out?
The water dispenser micro switch is working so I swapped it to the ice maker side. Still did not work. I put the two back together and the water still works, and the lever does press against the micro switch for the ice maker.
