The plastic ice compartment drum is broken and free spinning. Can I easily replace this drum myself ? Do I have to buy a new blade?
Thank you,
Susie
Susie for Model Number GHSC39ETJW1
Answer Hello Susie,
Yes this ice dispenser drum 241685103 can be replaced. You may want to take care in how it comes apart in order to make sure it goes back together correctly. You may want to check the blade 241684501 to make sure the the opening where it goes over the shaft hasn't spun out making the opening large than the opening of the shaft. If it has then you want to replace it.

Same as roberts does the same thing with the metal bar behind dispenseing drum spinning freely no ice chopped or cube
William for Model Number frs-6r4ew7
Answer Hello William. You will need to dismantle the front of the ice dispenser bin, check the shaft and blade spacers for excess wear, and replace the drum and blade 241685103 241684501 and the blade has to fit tightly into the slots of the drum when you reconstruct the shaft assembly.

I can get water from the dispenser, but no ice at all. It just hums. I don't think it's doing anything at all but humming. It makes the ice, but won't dispense it.
Larry for Model Number GLRS264ZAW5
Answer Hello Larry,
Try this: Remove the ice bin from the freezer compartment. Using a hair dryer, heat the auger motor yoke for ten to fifteen minutes. This usually will thaw the frost off of the motor assembly and restore normal operation.
Now to prevent a repeat failure, set the freezer to one setting warmer. You see, what causes this failure is evaporation and condensation. When the unit is closed and running, if the freezer goes below 0°F, the water that goes into the ice maker, (which is room temperature), will have steam come up off of it, (evaporation). Then the moisture condenses on the coldest material it can, (the steel of the auger motor). As soon as the moisture condenses, it freezes. This freezes the motor up where it cannot turn. As long as the freezer is warmed up a setting, this will cure the issue for good. You may want to check the ice door as I have found it to be a source of room temperature humid air. Check it with a flashlight from the outside while you look in the ice chute. If you see light, it isn't sealing.

Hi, you partially answered this question. I have the same problem, the auger spins, but the drum and blade does not. What replacement parts do I need to purchase? Thanks, DC Question: I have the same issue as Robert. The auger turns but no ice. The flapper is opening but the drum and the drive blade are not spinning w/ the auger. Is there a washer or nut that should attached to make the drum and drive blade spin w/ the auger? Asked by Prw for Model Kenmore 25359683991
Answer: PRW, Yes, the drive blade AP3959143 has a rectangular opening, the auger shaft has a flat spot for the blade to fit on, The clear plastic drum has cut outs on the backside to slip the drum on and secure the drum to the blade. and both components will turn with the shaft. Good Luck

The auger turns in my ice maker but no ice comes out. Also there is a piece of metal that goes on the back of the drum that is loose and not attached and spins with the auger.
Robert H. for Model Number glrs237zdw2
Answer Hello Robert! Is the flapper opening when you dispense the ice? If it is and the auger is turning ice should dispense. Have you verified that the auger is indeed moving? Thanks.
