Ice flap on Kitchen Aid Superba?

Do you know exactly what part broke? My ice dispenser broke in this way just a few days ago (1 month out of warranty!). Upon inspection, I found one of the two little black plastic tabs that hold the hinge for the ice door had broken off. I was able to glue it back on, and the door is working so far. I doubt the glue will hold forever, though.

Unfortunately, now ice no longer dispenses, b/c the arm in the ice-bucket no longer turns. There's a metal 3-tooth gear in the bottom of the ice-bucket which is supposed to mesh with the 3-tooth gear in the door; however, these two gears aren't meeting. I wonder if the gear in the door is supposed to pop up when activated to engage? (I see it spinning, but it doesn't pop up.)

Good luck,
David
