I have a KitchenAid Superba that I bought in 1997. I've never had a problem until recently the ice dispenser started freezing up, and frosting so that ice can't get through the chute. I think a gasket or the flapper is damaged, but I'm not sure how to make sure, or what all has to be replaced.

SOURCE: Ice dispenser

I fixed it by replacing the solenoid that operates the flapper door and the flapper door. They came as a kit and both were broken.

I still have a problem which is a bad circuit board. I can't switch from ice to water. I am stuck on ice, so I have not bothered to fix.

most flaps have a solinard that opens and closes the flap,if you can replace or get in there to lube it you should me ok,let me know more-mike

you have a bad seal, Take a dollar bill and slide it in between the door seal and the frig. slide it up and down to see if if has drag on it. If you find places it dont touch loosen the screws and adjust the hinges till it fits tight. In some cases you might have to tweak the doors if they need it.

This may be because the chute door is not all the way shut when off. If yes the warm moist air is being pulled through the opening and causing this. Sea Breeze

I am not sure but I think you have a bad door gasket in the freezer. This allows ambient air to come up through the chute.
Good Luck,
