Is This the Right Part?

✅ Cross Reference Information

Common Symptoms

• Ice fails to dispense or intermittently stops dispensing.
• The auger motor may run while the yoke slips on the shaft.
• Grinding, sticking, or abnormal noise may occur near the ice-dispenser drive.
• Ice may dispense unevenly if the yoke or its engagement threads are worn or damaged.

Check Before Replacing

• Disconnect appliance power before inspecting the dispenser drive area.
• Remove the ice container according to the refrigerator’s owner or service instructions and visually inspect the yoke for cracks, deformation, or obvious wear.
• Check whether the yoke’s engagement threads or mating shaft surfaces appear stripped or excessively worn.
• With power disconnected, confirm that the yoke is properly seated on the auger-drive shaft and that the ice container is fully engaged; do not force or rotate damaged components.
• If the motor runs but the yoke does not reliably transfer rotation, compare the yoke and mating shaft for slippage before replacing other dispenser components.
