Ice maker only will do crushed ice, not cubed

"If it appears you are getting only crushed ice from the dispenser, check the following:

It is normal to get a slight amount of crushed or broken ice cubes before or while dispensing cubed ice. This is most common after crushed ice was used and you then select cubes. The remaining chips in the crusher blades or the bottom of the bucket get picked up as cubed ice is dispensing.When cubed ice is selected, dispensing cubes requires energizing a lever behind the ice bucket to open a flap and allow whole cubes to come out. If an ice cube gets behind the ice bucket, this can prevent the lever from working. Remove the ice bucket and check for ice that may have fallen behind the bucket.If no ice cubes are behind the bucket, try to dispense ice with the bucket removed. Shut the door, press the ice dispenser and listen for a loud snapping noise. If no snap is heard service will be needed. If you hear a snap, reinsert the bucket and try Cubed ice again. If still no cubes, then check for frozen ice in the bucket.

To remove and check the ice bucket:

Pull the ice bin out by lifting it up in front and sliding it forward.Check for and remove clumped or shaved ice in the bin.If ice remains, run the bin under warm water until the ice melts completely. Dry the bin thoroughly.Reinstall the ice bin by pushing it all the way back against the freezer wall.Allow time for Icemaker to cycle again – to make cubes.Select CRUSHED ICE and then CUBED ICE.Try the dispenser again"

"This is an easy fix!

When you take the ice maker bin out of the freezer, you will see a long, arm-like wire along the bottom of the bin. The end of it fits into a square 1"" hole in the back wall of the freezer.

This arm and the mechanism in the hole are what turns off the ice crusher for just cubes to be dispensed. Like a clutch that allows you to change gears.

Set the ice bin aside and go to that square hole on the back wall of the freezer. Inside that hole, there is a horizontal bar, about 1/4"" in diameter, positioned about 1/3 of the way down from the top of the opening.

With your finger, push it down. It will click into place. You'll see it's the bottom of a square that's in frame in that opening and where the end of the arm needs to go.

Once you have pushed that little square frame down, it will stay down so you can replace the ice bin and now have cubes.

Just remember that when it's working, that mechanism will bounce up and rest against the arm from the ice bin.

If you remove the ice bin, you'll have to push that down again before replacing the ice bin.

That's it!"

"Push down the clutch that disengages the ice crushing function. It is on the back wall, behind the ice bin, or bucket, and the end of the long metal arm along the bottom of the ice bin inserts there.

If you remove the ice bin, you will need to push the clutch down again before replacing the ice bin."

In my case the plastic switch in the back was broken, so I removed the metal control arm and taped the plastic flap at the dispensing end in the open position. Thus, I can get cubes but no crushed ice.
