JRSD225 Maytag/JennAir ice despenser only hums and does not dispense ice after cleaning freezer compartment?

Question

JRSD225 Maytag/JennAir ice despenser only hums and does not dispense ice after cleaning freezer compart and ice cube tray does not fill completely with water. This is a followup after Spocks answer (thanks! Spock). Everything was working perfectly until we emptied and cleaned the freezer compartment. Now the ice cube tray only fills partially but still makes ice with the water that is available. Its like the flow is too slow or the flow cycle is too short. When the ice lever is depressed, the auger motor hums like it has a locked roror, but the auger does not turn. Im wondering if maybe water condensed on the drive mechanism in the motor box and froze. The auger can be freely turned by hand. Im about the take the motor box apart to examine its innards.

Answer 1

make sure the auger is seated in the arm that comes from the motor....could be that water has frozen behind the motor....if u can flush the supply line or replace....check that the supply inside the freezer is not constricted due to frozen water and slowing the amount of water to the tray.......
