Worked! but....
The part arrived in good condition. My husband & I read how to change out the motor. It took a little time as there were screws we couldn’t reach so had to unplug wiring & also had to remove other parts in order to get it out. We have no experience with fixing a refrigerator but we’re happy all worked out. We turned the water on & it started making ice & all was well until we noticed there was water all over the floor so we had to turn off the water. Now have to figure out where it’s leaking from!

Ice auger motor would hum. Would not turn. So Refrigerator would produce ice, but not discharge cube or crushed ice.
1) 2 screws under ice maker inside. Remove them and the steel shaft will pull right out. Close the door and let fridge run. 2) There is 'extend tray' on the outside. Remove it.

My Kitchen-Aid ice dispenser had stopped working. I ordered parts and began the repair as soon as the parts arrived. Removed front cover of the ice dispensing station.

took the old motor out and replaced it with the new one along with the drive shaft.

How does i access the ice auger motor? Some youtube video show easy access by remove 2 screws under the auger and then 4 screws that hold auger but this model does not appear to have that easy access.
For model number GC5NHAXST01
Hi Dave,
Thank you for your question. Here is some information that a customer has left on how they installed the auger that you may find useful, "My Kitchen-Aid ice dispenser had stopped working. I ordered parts and began the repair as soon as the parts arrived. Removed front cover of the ice dispensing station. Two screws at the bottom of the faceplate, under the tray section. Opened the freezer door and removed the ice bucket. Under it I found the connecting drive shaft that links to the auger inside the bucket. Two screws were easily removed and the parts lifted out. The drive shaft was now exposed and could be lifted straight up and out. Back to the front of the door. Now I got to work on the motor itself.

Hello, my ice dispenser stopped working last week, the button works, and the dispenser door opens and the water dispenser works but the auger stopped turning and i do not hear the motor making any noise and the ice does not come out. Could this be the motor? I even took out the tray and tried it without any ice in the tray and it still will not turn.
For model number KSRS25RSBT01
Hello Donald, thank you for your question. This motor rotates the auger. When the auger rotates, it pushes ice out of the bin, through a chute to the user. If the auger is not moving, and there is no sound from the motor you should replace the auger motor. The motor for your specific model number KSRS25RSBT01, is part number PS11739848 which can be found on our site. I hope this helps!

Motor starts to dispense ice, then stops. Then won't try for several minutes, then same result. Is it the auger motor that's bad?
For model number GD5NVAXSA00
Hi Steve,
Thank you for the great question, Looking through our list of symptoms and repair help it seems the most common part to be replaced to fix the issue is the Ice Auger Drive Motor PS11739848. If you are able to take the bin apart and see that there is no physical damage to the parts inside the motor may need to be replaced.
Hope this helps!

Is the auger motor the part i would most likely need if no ice is being made and when i push the ice dispense button i hear a click but the motor doesn't turn at all.
For model number GS6NBEXRL01
Hello Michael, thank you for contacting us. The auger/motor pushes the ice out of the bin to be dispensed or crushed and dispensed. The click noise is the ice door opening but no ice comes out since the auger isn't turning. The motor would need to be replaced. Now if no ice is being made, such as, no water getting to the ice maker, that could be an issue with the water inlet valve. If the ice maker is getting water but not ejecting into the ice bin that would be an issue with the ice maker motor. Hope this helps!
How do i get access to the auger motor on this model? I don't want to break anything and make it worse. If i can get access to it i will replace it and order it from you.

When trying to dispense ice there is a humming noise & auger does not turn, any idea what part needs replaced?
For model number GS6NBEXRS00
Hello Hugh, Thank you for your inquiry. It does sound like the ice auger drive motor. To test it, try removing the ice bin and pressing the dispenser lever to see if the auger will turn. If it doesn't, then replace the auger motor. Hope this helps!

Hello. Our 17 year old freezer stopped dispensing ice and the part in the bucket isn’t turning. However we do hear the motor running. I am unable to order a replacement entire bucket part but can get a new motor. Would getting a new motor fix the rotation that is failing even though the current motor is making a noise and seems to be working? I can’t figure out why else it won’t work.
For model number KSCS23INSS01
Hi Amy, thank you for contacting us. According to our research, the issue seems to be caused by a weak auger drive motor. We recommend checking the auger drive motor, part number PS11739848, to fix this issue. We hope this solves your problem!

It makes ice, but the ice does not dispense through the chute. It sits behind the chute door that is not opened. If you manually reach in, and open the door, all of the ice that was waiting dispenses. Is this fixed by the auger motor?
For model number GD5NVAXSY01
Hi Gina, Thank you for the question. If the ice is making it to the door then the auger motor would be fine, the issue would be the door not opening. First you can check to make sure the Chute Door is not warped and causing it to get "stuck". If the door is fine try and listen for the Ice Dispenser Door Motor,PartSelect Number PS11749796 to come on when the try to dispense the ice. If the motor is not coming on it is defective and will need to be replaced. Hope this helps!
