I have a Jenn Air refrigerator model JS42PPDBDA whose ice maker yoke will not turn. We just had a 2 day power outage due to a big ice storm, and this problem started after that. The Ice Dispenser Yoke (Part 63052-1 per my manual) will not turn. It makes ice just fine, and when you push the door dispenser to get the ice to come out the door, you hear the motor engage, but the Yoke doesn't turn. If I take out the ice bin, hold down the door latch (so it thinks the freezer door is closed) and push the ice dispenser button on the door, the Yoke doesn't turn (though you can hear the motor engage and try to turn it, but it won't budge). If I "help" the yoke by manually turning it while pushing the ice dispenser button on the door, it will come unstuck, turn just fine, and work totally fine and dispense ice out of the door for a few hours, then locks back up and we start over. The auger turns freely in the bin and there is no ice stuck in it. I think the problem is in the yoke?? Can I lubricate it or is maybe some water freezing back behind the panel?? I'm at a loss. I hate this refrigerator but have to live with it since it is what is here when we bought the house! Thank you!! Michelle
