Default Ice maker motor

The motor for the ice maker that dispenses the ice into the glasses
has died. Is that something one can change on their own? Any ideas as to
the rough cost of having someone else do it? WAY out of warrantee.

easiest way is to buy the icemaker kit, for under a 100 bucks. it
slides in and includes solenoid valve a frequent cause of no ice

That is the ice dispenser, not the maker. Different motors, different tools.
Should be able to do it yourself if you have some mechanical aptitude.

You're looking for something called an "auger motor" or something
like that. I just checked for my Whirlpool model, and that's what
mine is called. ($78!! hope mine never goes out)
