ICE Maker stuck in dispensing crushed Ice

Repeated pushing between cube and crushed ice has cleared the dispenser back to cube ice. Indicator light changes but still only crushed ice dispensed. I tried unpluging the refrigerator to clear the problem but no luck.
Tag says I have a GLRS267ZCQ1 machine

    I beg to disagree, having some 30 years in electronics I don't see how an evaporator fan is not allowing me to switch between ice cubes and crushed. Looking at the parts list I would think that the switch on BOARD-CONTROL (BOARD-SWITCH) is stuck.

That means that the evaporator fan system that releases the the ice cubes is not working.

Use the number listed on the owner manual if you want to call a technician.

Enter model number on this website to find schematics and replacement parts.

    Sorry, the solution was for ice cubes stuck inside, I had it opened on a different window, in your case either the switch is simply broken.

    I know what the problem is, myGLRS267ZCB1 does the same thing. If you pull out the ice bin, you will see a brass colored control arm for the crusher blades. Look at the inside back of the freezer compartment. there is a hole in the back wall where this control arm fits. Inside this hole is a solenoid control that is supposed to lift the control arm when the cube button is pushed. this moves th blades so cubes don't get crushed. I have found for some reason the solenoid sticks at times and cubes are always crushed. This is probrably a manufacturing error. I have found by heating the solenoid by using a blowdryer thru the hole in the back wall, the solenoid will thaw and moisture is removed, freeing the solenoid. I never did find a permenant fix, I just deal with it from time to time.

Ice maker dispenses cruched ice in cube ice mode

You have a solenoid switch which switches the dispenser back and forth from crushed to cube. It could be stuck or not working or the parts connecting it could be disconnected or broken. You will have to observe to see if any parts are moving and if any noise is coming from the solenoid.
With your model number I can find a diagram which may help.

Can't make ice cubes only crushed ice

Hi: There is a flap right where the ice dispenses. When you remove the bin you will see it when inverted. This flap has to open for the ice to be cubed. You might rember a slap as it swung open when it worked. There is a bar that runs from the flap to the back of the dispenser. Work it manually to see if it's jammed or broken. If not look at the back of the freezer and remove the metal panel if neccessary, to find the jam or defective part. I hope this helps, Jeff

Ice maker only dispenses crushed ice, won't dispense cubed ice anymore.

I have a GE TFX25ppbaaa refrigerator. The ice maker corkscrew motor would run and provide crushed ice only. The corkscrew motor would not run when the switch was moved to the cubed ice ( half moon) setting.

I replaced the large Light/ water/ crushed ice/cubed ice switch , ( product service number GEH WR55X129 ) ( part number GE 162D6372 PO17 )and it fixed the problem. Cost was about $43.00.

Ice Maker Issues-only crushed ice works, cubed comes out crushed

There is a solinoid in the freezer section by the motor that turns the ice auger. Test it by selecting cubes and with the ice bucket out, open the door, hold the door switch so the lights turn out and push the dispenser button. It should make a loud snap and travel upward. If not then I would say you have a bad solinoid. If it does, then I would look at the bucket. the metal rod that runs along the side of the bucket opens a flap in the bucket that is supposed to let the full cubes drop. look for anything that might cause it to be hanging up.

Ice maker will only dispense crushed ice

You may have a broken solenoid inside the motor assembly.  The solenoid controls the arm for cubed or crushed ice.  The only way to tell is remove the ice dispenser motor assembly and look at the solenoid.  If the solenoid is broken, replace it and everything should be ok.

My icemaker is not making ice. This has happened 3 times in the past 3 years but this is the longest it has gone without making ice. The other 2 times it lasted 2 days. It has now been 4 daysince the ice...

Check the following:
 Is the freezer door closed completely?
 Is the ice storage bin installed correctly?
 Is there ice in the storage bin?
 Has the ice frozen in the storage bin?
 Is ice stuck in the delivery chute?
 Has the wrong ice been added to the storage bin? Use only
cubes produced by the current ice maker.
 Has the ice melted around the auger (metal spiral) in the
ice bucket?
Dump the ice cubes and clean the ice storage
bin.
 Is the ice dispenser stalling while dispensing “crushed”
ice?
Change the ice button from “crushed” to “cubed.” If
cubed ice dispenses correctly, depress the button for
“crushed” ice and begin dispensing again.
 Has the dispenser arm been held in too long? Ice will stop
dispensing when the arm is held in too long. Wait 3 minutes
for dispenser motor to reset before using again.
