How Frigidaire Ice Makers and Freezers Work
On dispenser models the bin uses an auger that can freeze in place when ice melts and refreezes, and a rotated auger has to be realigned in 45-degree steps before the bin will seat. Source: Frigidaire - Refrigerators - No Ice
Frigidaire's convertible chest freezers are manual defrost and drain through drain plugs, and the manual lists an E2 display code as a temperature sensor failure that needs service. Source: Frigidaire - Chest Freezer Use & Care Guide (A31283301en-US)

What Vidor Owners Should Know
Most ice maker calls in Vidor come down to the same handful of causes: water supply and pressure, a frozen fill tube, the water inlet valve, freezer temperature and the ice maker assembly itself.
Texas has no separate appliance repair license; under the Plumbing License Law, appliance dealers and their employees may install and service appliances (other than water heaters) without a plumbing license when hooking up to existing openings with a code-approved appliance connector, while other gas or water piping work generally requires a plumbing license. Source: Plumbing License Law, Tex. Occ. Code ch. 1301, §1301.053 (Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners)
In Texas, you can check a license with the Texas plumbing Public License Search or report a problem to the Texas Attorney General, Consumer Protection Division.
