Ice Maker Only Dispensing Crushed Ice

My Frigidaire model "FPS23LH5DW0" side by side refrigerator's icemaker will only dispense crushed ice now. I replaced the filter yesterday and cleaned out the ice bucket and now it will not give ice cubes, only crushed. Any advice on how to fix?

I also had this problem with my Frigidaire Gallery fridge. I was following the instructions that Nancy from Tampa FL gave above. When we removed the mounting bracket and spiral rod assembly, we noticed a spring fell out. What we found was the E Ring Solenoid was missing. With a trip to Home Depot and the purchase of a 50 cents E Ring Solenoid (3/16 in), we now have cubed and crushed ice.

Kenmore Ice Maker Only Dispenses Crushed Ice

Our Kenmore refrigerator can dispense cube ice or crushed ice. There are buttons to press to choose which you want. We have it set to dispense cube ice however, nothing but crushed ice will come out, no matter which button we press.

This is undoubtedly a solenoid problem. You will have to call a refrigerator repair person.

Our Frigidaire ice maker only puts out crushed ice from the dispenser. We can't get cubes; is something bent that I can unbend? I am getting tired of bagging the tray with cubed ice.
