Is This the Right Part?

✅ Cross Reference Information

Common Symptoms

• Ice auger does not turn when dispensing is requested.
• Ice remains in the bucket while the dispenser fails to move it.
• Intermittent or slipping ice dispensing caused by a worn, cracked, or rusted shaft/coupler interface.
• Auger movement stops under load even though the dispenser motor may be operating.

Check Before Replacing

• Disconnect refrigerator power before inspecting the shaft, motor area, or ice bucket.
• Remove and inspect the ice bucket according to the refrigerator’s owner or service instructions; check that the bucket is fully seated and its coupler engages the drive shaft.
• Visually inspect the shaft and mating coupler for cracking, corrosion, stripping, unusual wear, or misalignment.
• With the bucket removed and power disconnected, check for obvious binding or damage by gently examining the auger and shaft; do not force stuck components.
• If the dispenser motor runs but the shaft or auger does not turn, compare the shaft and coupler engagement before replacing parts; other dispenser components may produce similar symptoms.
