The auger drum broke from the shaft
I removed the 4 screws holding the front cover in place. Removed the 4 screws holding the ice auger cover in place. Removed the c clip holding the auger on the shaft. Pulled out the auger shaft. Removed the broken auger drum and replaced with the new one. Reassembled in reverse order.
Not so easy as others have described. I kept the parts off the auger together in my hand as I replaced the drum. Thanks to the people who mentioned the nut being left handed. Taking a picture before dis-asembly saved me. I would never have gotten it back together otherwise.
Pulled out the ice tray, took whatever screws held the front on. The rest was pretty easy. The only thing I would say was a problem was taking off the cutters. The front spacer is threaded, and loosens by turning clockwise. Also, the shaft that runs along the side of the tray has a spring and keeper. Make sure yoiu remember how you take it apart.
It was a breeze to remove and replace. Made even easier by the previous DIY guys posts. Make sure you turn the nut at the end of the shaft clockwise to loosen. Taking a picture of the blades for ice crushing before removal for future reference is a great idea. It wasn't hard at all. Just take your time.
We took the icemaker apart, and took pictures of how it looked before so we knew how to put it back together, we were really surprised how easy it was to put back together, I will be ordering other parts from this company, I got my part in 1-2 days by Fedex, I will be telling others about this company
This was not a hard repair. Just remove all the screws and slide out the old Auger drum. It is always good to take a picture first incase you have any problems putting it back together. Be careful to put the ice crushers back in the same order and make sure you look at how the "door spring" connects before pulling it apart.
First I removed the 6 screws and then 2 more--being carefull to take cap off inside to nremove metal blades--be sure to keep in order--taking ba digital picture helps at this point--make sure to put back nin reverse order after replacing washer and new auger--went smooth thanks appliance parts repair service forum--Rick--Enjoy your own repair!!!
Took the Ice Bin Out emptyed it then removed the nesasary screws pulled the broken Peice off and sliped the new part on held the metal peices together so we would know how to keep them in order for fear of putting them in wrong place but we did it now it works great thank you so much for getting the part to me so quickly your great.
Had to replace the auger drum. Went fairly smooth. The video that was linked next the part was a big help, especially when all the blades of the ice chopper came off of the shaft at once and I needed to get them back in the correct order. I did a freeze frame on the moment in the video to figure out the order.
Ordered part, watched video. Had a problem with reassembly of ice crushing assembly, did a re-do as one of the blades had dislodged from the drive shaft!
I noticed that the refrigerator was having trouble maintaining temperature. Thought it might be time for new one until I found out that a new frig was $5k to $7K. Just happened to notice that the light switch didn't look quite right (was not sitting sqaure to the door). Once I pressed it it came loose. I then realized the the lights were staying on (50 watts of heating). Replaced the switch and the frig started working like new.
Once I removed the ice bin from the freezer section of refrigerator and removed all the necessary screws was able to remove the auger drum, but had some difficulty in reinstalling the crusher blades in the dispenser. After several tries, got it right and dispenser is performing like new.
