Jenn Air Refrigerator ice dispenser not working

If your Jenn Air refrigerator ice dispenser is not working, start by inspecting the dispenser door, since a broken or misaligned door often prevents ice from dropping. If the door looks fine, the dispenser control board or a defective dispenser switch are the next most likely causes; test individual switches and components before assuming a board failure because a single bad part is more common. Listen for a "clunk" when switching between crushed and cubed modes to spot a bad crushed/cubed ice solenoid, and use a multimeter to check switches and solenoids for continuity. Check the ice chute for clumped cubes or jams too, and run warm water through the chute to clear obstructions. A faulty main control board can cut power to the entire dispenser system, but that is less likely than the parts above. These steps cover the typical reasons a refrigerator ice dispenser not working or a refrigerator not dispensing ice. Enter your model number on RepairClinic.com to find the exact replacement part for your refrigerator.

01 - Jenn Air Refrigerator Dispenser Door

The dispenser door is opened by a motor or a solenoid to dispense the ice, but if the door is broken, it may not open properly in order to release the ice. You should inspect the dispenser door for damage to determine if the component should be replaced. You may have to remove the dispenser control panel or frame to access and inspect the dispenser door.

02 - Jenn Air Refrigerator Dispenser Control Board

The dispenser control board governs most of the functions of the dispenser system. If the control board is faulty, it may stop supplying power to the entire dispenser system. If only one dispenser part is not working, test each of the dispenser components before testing the control board. It is more likely that a single part has failed. If the entire dispenser system is not working, the control board is more likely to be at fault.

03 - Jenn Air Refrigerator Dispenser Switch

The dispenser switches send voltage to the dispenser. If one of the dispenser switches is defective, the dispenser will not work. To determine if a dispenser switch is defective, use a multimeter to test each switch for continuity. If a dispenser switch does not have continuity, replace it.

04 - Jenn Air Refrigerator Crushed/Cubed Ice Solenoid

The crushed/cubed ice solenoid is the component that opens and closes a door in the ice bucket auger housing to allow the fully formed ice cubes to pass through or to divert the cubes through a crushing blade system to crush the ice when that option is chosen. If you don't hear a "clunk" sound when switching between the "Crushed" and "Cubed" ice options, it's likely the crushed/cubed ice solenoid is defective. You can use a multimeter to test the solenoid for continuity, a continuous electrical path present in the component. If the solenoid has no continuity, the component is faulty and will need to be replaced.

05 - Jenn Air Refrigerator Main Control Board

A refrigerator's main control board governs most of the functions of the appliance including the dispenser system. If the control board is faulty, it may stop supplying power to the entire dispenser system. If only one dispenser part is not working, test each of the dispenser components before testing the control board. It is more likely that a single part has failed. If the entire dispenser system is not working, the main control board is more likely to be at fault.

06 - Ice chute jammed

The ice chute may be jammed by clumps of cubes frozen together. You can run warm water through the chute to help remove the obstruction.
