The ice dispenser motor that you are replacing is not the most dependable part in you refrigerator, but every ear or two is a bit excessive. You should check if the ice in the bin is not melting once-in-awhile due to the temperature increase in the freezer during defrost or because the ice chute door sticks open. That may cause the short in the motor windings. This is the motor Part number: AP3181486 Here are the breakdown diagrams and Parts for Whirlpool GS6NVEXST01: Motor and Ice Container Parts - AppliancePartsPros.com Thanks. Keep us posted. Best, Simon.
