Thread: Samsung Ice auger motor binding - No torque to crush ice

    Question Samsung Ice auger motor binding - No torque to crush ice

    Model Number: RF26VABBP
    Brand: Samsung
    Age: 1-5 years

    Samsung RF26VABBP (BOM RF26VADBP/XAA) will not deliver ice. Replaced both control boards, ice door and auger motor. Now warranty company says it can't be fixed. Motor and auger start to turn and then will sound like it's binding then stops. Releasing paddle switch will allow it to "unwind" then re-engaging motor may or may not deliver a few more cubes before it binds up again.
    Is there motor controller that could have a weak solenoid? The motor doesn't seem to develop enough torque to crush or even auger out the cubes through the door.
    Thoughts?
    Thanks in advance.

    The problem could be in the ice bucket itself. If you remove the ice bucket, does the auger motor turn freely then?
