As the title says, my appliance is a Frigidiare Gallery french door refrigerator, model FGHB2735NE3. I came home from work (I travel) to find I couldn't get any ice out, and a small leak was coming from behind the front panel on the door. The leak was due to too much ice accumulating, resting in the chute, and melting. I first began by pulling all the ice maker components out and thawing them, as well as the coil on the back wall of the fridge. I thawed the drain port for good measure as well, though buildup was minimal. After that, I pulled the front assembly from the door to clean it as well, since I had the panel off for the leak. I put everything back together (it only goes one way, after all) and now I have this buzzing noise when I try to use the ice dispenser. Water works fine, I can rotate the auger by hand, and have even tried to run the ice maker by holding the door switch and pushing the lever on the door. There's clearly power going to the dispenser, since I'm getting a noise, from what I read. At this point, I think it may be the auger motor, but I cannot figure out what would have caused it to quit working (I didn't bridge any circuitry or anything of that nature). Please note that prior to the dismantling of the system, everything did work as needed, there was just so much buildup it would hardly push the ice out because it was basically one giant piece. I've included a link to show the water working, and so that the buzzing can be heard. Video with ice maker buzz.
