use a hair blow dryer to warm up the chute and dry up any moisture then lube the chute with a cooking spray, pam is a good one.

SOURCE: 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.

Ice maker will not crush ice

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. Crushed ice is the default position and the solenoid is energized to cube ice.
Remove the dispenser cover by gently prying starting at the bottom going round and round a little at a time to prevent from breaking it. When it's off the screws will be exposed to access the other components.

I have a Frigidaire FRS23H5ASB9 side-by-side. The "cube" button works, but only crushed comes out. "Crushed" button works fine, too, but we usually want cubes. What's causing this? Is it the dispenser or...

most likely the solinoid is frozen or bad.. pull ice bin, the metal lever on back of bin fits in solinoid in freezer see if you can move plastic piece in freezer with finger.

Icemaker only dispenses crushed ice

Your selector solenoid is not working. Next to the auger motor there is a selector. You will see a plastic peice in a hole to the left of the auger.....Try to move it up and down. If it won't move it is more than likely frozen in one spot. Try to defrost it. If that does not work then replace the solenoid.
