Any suggestions?

The crushed/cubed option is **generally** selected by a solenoid in
the
back of the freezer which engages a rod in the back of the ice
bucket.

Can you post a model number (should start 596.), then we can see what

you have.

Hi and Happy New Years,

This may help....

There should be a solenoid behind the ice bucket ( see picture above )
that moves an metal arm on the ice bucket to move the crush teeth away
for cubes or keeps the crush teeth in place for crushed cubes. The arm
or solenoid may be frozen in place or stuck?!?
