Auger and Ice Bucket for GE side by side was rusty
followed the previous posts, loosened four screws on the front panel, attached panel to new auger and ice bucket, and was good to go. Excellent advice!
Ice bucket and auger came fully assembled. Just had to attach the face plate from the broken ice bucket assembly and slide it into the freezer. There were only four Phillips screws involved.
Bucket was broken at the back where the auger turns.
Removed the bucket assembly from the freezer. Remove the four screws holding the front cover on the bucket. They are on the backside of the front cover. Installed the old front cover on the new ice bucket with the four screws.
Since Parts Select was unable to cross reference to another part I myself checked out all other web sights and did my own cross reference. I found a matching compatable ice bucket number and bought that ice bucket from part select I got it quickly and put it in.
It was so easy! I seldom attempt any household repair because I have a husband that can fix anything, but he was not available. One screwdriver & remove 4 screws attaching the existing front to old auger/bucket. Line up the screw holes on new bucket with old front, put the 4 screws in through those holes tighten screws & I was done.
auger and bucket neded to be changed because of rust which caused the auger and other metal parts to rust which created an unpleasant odor in ice and freezer. to
The part arrived promptly but was defective. Upon learning of the problem by PartSelect a new part was shipped and was delivered incredibly quickly. Installing it was easy and took only about 5 minutes. We were pleased with the speed in sending the parts and the ease of installation. We will call on them again if necessary because of their good business practices.
Bad odor and rusty ice cubes. Auger had rusted and should have been covered by GE
Removed the old ice bucket assembly and dumped the contents. Removed four screws from the face plate and reinstalled it to the new ice bucket kit. Back in business.
My Auger was rusted, and discontinued. Had to buy complete Ice Bucket assembly.
Washed new Ice Bucket assembly with dish soap and warm water, and let dry. Removed (4) small screws holding Ice Bucket Door assemby to my original Ice Bucket assembly. Reinstalled Ice Bucket Door assembly to new Ice Bucket.
Removed 4 screws from the old rusted ice bucket ( they hold the cover on) installed the cover and screws in the new ice bucket and installed the new unit in the freezer .
