GE Refrigerator Auger Motor Not Turning On
Reference Model: GSL25JFPDBS
Problem:
Auger motor does not turn on. When the dispenser light and solenoid are disconnected, the motor starts, but stops when they are reconnected. Solenoid and dispenser board have been replaced but the issue persists.
Diagnosis:
The duct solenoid and auger motor have little in common. The auger is an AC component powered directly by the main board and the solenoid is a DC component powered by the dispenser board. Both components use 13V DC to power the solenoid, and to energize the relay/triac to turn on the auger. The main control board handles this communication. Check the 13V DC supply from the main board to the dispenser board when you call for ice. If it drops down, something is pulling it down and needs to be isolated. If it stays at 13V DC, the issue is likely with the main control board.
