Sounds like ours.
I just worked on a dispenser with the capacitor hanging off the motor.... Hummmmmm
Check filters/ belts
And I thought it was as simple as the capacitor. Now on to fixing some AC's. The coils are freezing up on me. If I need refrigerant, that's another call.
It's not THAT complicated but it does take some basic knowledge, tools and skills or you can destroy that motor very fast. Trust me, I had to learn too.
Gonna have to breakdown, and call the man...

Happened to me on a different ice dispenser where it would trip the GFCI breaker, wasn't due to an overload or overamp, just water getting into the motor and tripping it.
Understood, and much appreciated. Yes, motor is fine. I guess the auger could have a problem ?
We're not supposed to give out DIY advice, that's the only reason we care. Did you get a chance to test the motor?
Good Luck !!
30 minutes and 2 good slabs of ice dropped still holding lol

Mr. Patel I'm on hold with Manitowoc now for 25 minutes just to get in line for a call back.
I'm just a guy who tries to fix his own AC's and ice machines, before I have to spend the big bucks to purchase new. I can't believe you guys have this much time worrying about what I do, or who I am.
