Error code MECH-AUGER on the Electrolux EI23BC82SS 22.7 cu ft Counter-Depth French Door Refrigerator Stainless Steel means: Ice Maker Auger Motor Jam. The ice dispenser does not dispense ice when the paddle is pressed. The auger motor inside the ice bucket is jammed, or ice has frozen into a solid mass in the ice bucket. Remove the ice bucket and break up any clumped ice. Check the auger motor by listening for a hum when the dispenser is activated — humming without rotation indicates a mechanical jam or worn motor coupler. Clear any obstructions and test. Replace the auger motor if it has failed electrically. On Electrolux models, the ice bucket assembly includes the auger and motor as an integrated unit.
