    Can anyone help. This is my second Whirlpool side by side fridge that has gone wrong much sooner than I would expect.

    I have just corrected a tripping RCD by replacing the defrost heater in the freezer compartment. On powering it back up it all seems to be working electronically except I now have an issue with the Ice Maker. Haven’t used it for a long time so can’t say that it was 100{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} before my repair.

    On turning on the Ice Maker it tries to rotate the ice cube tray although its as if its going the wrong way and can’t so I get a lot of gear grinding noises. It then turns the other way but only about 1/8 of a turn so the ice doesn’t tip out. The following water refils then overflows into the ice bin and then ultimately onto the floor.

    I have not touched this unit in my repair so has something else gone wrong or is it adjustable? Very grateful of any advice.

    Check the auger motor on it.

    Not cheap and usually a bit of a pain to replace them.
