Ice maker was leaking and causing the ice to freeze into a block.
People would use the ice maker and just let it grind and eventually the bin and the plastic cup at the end of the auger broke. I replaced the ice maker and once satisfied it worked and did not leak, I took the bucket/auger mechanism apart and replace both the bucket and the ice cup. While the Frig is getting old, it has paneling

Auger and Dispenser Plate Rusted
Went to You Tube and viewed the repair video. Took picture of assembly as I unassembled parts with cell phone. Used assembly drawing from this site as a reference. Eliminated the crushed ice function and removed blades from auger assembly.
Removed icemaker bin, removed auger assembly, cleaned broken part debris out, put in new part, re-assembled bin/auger assy, done!!

Ice Bucket Auger and other parts badly rusted
I never realized there were so many parts. I carefully took the Ice Bucket and Ice Crushing Assembly apart and laid all items in order, but once it went back together, I fear I did something out of order. Although the ice is now rust free, the ice moving assembly and crusher makes too much noise. I will be required to take it all apart
... Read more and figure out which part I put together in the wrong order. I could use a diagram that gives the correct blade and spacer order...
It took me about 15 minutes to complete the repair, 1st I emptied the ice maker, then I removed 4 screws from the rear of the ice maker tray and took the plastic piece off of the auger. I reversed the steps and put it back together.

The auger was chromed steel. It rusted causing rust to get on ice.
It's a good idea to take closeup pictures, that will eliminate guessing when you put it back together. There was no instructions. I was happy to see GE knew there was a problem with the chrome auger. The replacement is STAINLESS STEEL.
This is a 25 year old unit. The ice bucket had warped over time causing the face plate to move forward of its ideal position pulling the entire assembly out of the drive. Removed dispensing unit face assembly. Removed drive shaft assembly. Replaced all washers. Reversed old broken drive cup. Married old drive cup to new drive cup...linin
... Read moreg up drive slots. Drilled 6 ea. 3mm holes evenly spaced around circumference into the face of the old drive cup. Fastened drive cups together in vice and with C clamp...then using phillips head screws installed 3 ea. from opposing entry points on each side of this homemade shaft extender. This "mechanism" increased the effective length of the dispensing shaft assembly allowing for a proper fit of the drive shaft to the motor drive connection. Unit now works perfectly. Total cost @ $40.00 and two hours work which would have taken less than one hour if I had remembered to install the ice bucket seal the first time. New ice bucket would have cost @ $185.00. Home warranty does not cover ice makers or any of the associated parts. DIY...it isn't that difficult.
Ice machine wouldn't give ice, part had broken and was blocking output
Removed broken part (actually it fell out)
Inserted new part. Nothing to it.
All I had to do was raise feeding screw and attach new drive cup, the lower all back into ice tray

The ice maker works but the ice does not dispense. I hear the motor running and working but the ice does not come out. The bucket is clean no obstructions.
For model number ZISB42DY
Hi Wanda,
Thank you for your question. If your ice maker is not dispensing ice, there are some parts that you will need to check to see which one is causing the issue. You will need to check the auger and ice bucket assembly, the ice dispenser actuator, the ice dispenser solenoid service kit, the micro switch, the dispenser control board and the dispenser door assembly/flapper. We have included a link that you may reference on how to check some of these parts. Once you have determined the part you need, please feel free to call customer service. We are open 7 days a week and anyone will be happy to assist you. We look forward to hearing from you!
