The ice dispenser quit working. The water dispenser works fine. I have removed the ice dispenser motor (whirlpool #2198592). Question should the motor spin freely or not at all? I have inserted the hex rod and attempted to spin the motor it is difficult to turn and would only turn one way. I am not sure if the motor is bad or if it is not getting power. Is there a way to bench test the motor?
The dispenser lever has a copper strip that is a switch, I am not sure how that works or how to check it?
Also if I have to remove the faceplate for the dispenser, what is the proper way to remove it I don’t want to break the trim piece.
Thanks for the help
