I have a Frigidaire FGSC2335TF0 and the ice won't dispense. The ice maker works, the auger spins when engaged, the crushed ice gears spin and both the ice box door and ice dispenser doors open when on crushed or regular ice but the ice won't actually push through. I'm at a complete loss.

Check to see if the auger drive bar is stripped on the auger motor shaft.

Here's the auger drive bar for your model:

Hey Jake, thanks for the response and links however what makes you believe the auger drive bar is stripped? As I stated it spins and turns the metal spiral in the ice box it just isn't getting ice to push out the hole.

 

[Jake]

Ok, so the auger inside the ice bucket is turning then, but no ice is coming out?

Did you remove the ice bucket and clear all the ice out from the ice bucket impeller and wash it out with hot water, you may have a ice clog in the impeller or the impeller is cracked or broken. Seen that happen many times.

 

[Kstrickbine]

Yeah definitely did that. No obstruction. Appears that impeller just isn't efficient when turning to push the ice out the end.

Ok, then if the auger motor is running and the auger drive bar is not stripped, then the problem is the ice bucket itself.

Here's the ice bucket assembly for your model:

hmmm, but the assembly in the bucket where the crushed ice blades are located right before the door drop spins as well.
and the diagram doesn't actually show those parts is that part of the bucket i assume.
And what does item #45 do in the diagram you shared? is that the switch for cube and crushed? i noticed that is loose and can move to the back of the freezer but still engages when pulled forward.

Here's the parts diagram: Parts for Frigidaire FGSC2335TF0: Container Parts
#45 is the Solenoid and Yoke assembly that makes it switch from crushed ice to cubed ice.

This is a solenoid and yoke assembly that is used on refrigerators. The solenoid and yoke assembly allows the ice maker to dispense either cubed or crushed ice on demand. The replacement of the solenoid and yoke assembly is very easy and can be completed within 15 minutes to 30 minutes for most...

You can see all the parts inside the ice bucket here: https://www.repairclinic.com/PartDetail/Ice-Bucket-Assembly/5304522717/4959108

The impeller and blades are located in the front of the ice bucket, it all comes as a assembly.

Thanks Jake. Very much appreciated.

My initial thought is that the Solenoid and Yoke assembly may be the culprit since it's moving around.

That being said I will need to pull it out to very as something tells me that maybe the ice box assembly that holds that yoke and solenoid in broke so it's not the part itself but the housing or mold around it that holds it in place.

Ok, that makes sense, let us know what you find.
