Customer Questions and Answers for Auger Motor (Ice-Dispenser Auger) by Whirlpool

4.89 (64)
By: Whirlpool
Part Number: OEM18031056
Manufacturer Part Number: WP67003226

This auger motor powers the refrigerator ice-dispenser auger to move or crush ice for dispensing, restoring proper ice delivery from the door. It replaces the factory auger motor responsible for auger rotation. What it does:

  • Drives the auger that moves or crushes ice so the dispenser can deliver crushed or cubed ice.
  • Commonly used when the dispenser auger does not turn, dispenses little or no ice, or the motor hums but the auger stays stuck.
  • Restores normal auger rotation and helps reduce abnormal grinding or scraping noises tied to a failed motor.
What's included: One auger motor. Install notes:
  • Disconnect power to the refrigerator before starting any work.
  • Remove ice and the ice bin before accessing the auger motor to avoid spills or blockages.
  • Follow the refrigerator service manual for correct removal and reinstallation; retain mounting hardware and note wire/harness routing.
  • After installation, restore power and operate the dispenser to verify auger rotation and ice flow.

Answer

Hi Brandon. Remove the ice bin completely. Tape the inner door switch shut. select cubes. Install a glass into the door paddle actuator. Then see if the auger motor is turning. If so then ask for crush and see if the auger reverses rotation and the crush solenoid will lift up harshly. Release the cup. Reach in and see if the auger motor coupling is not stripped on the shaft. If it is it is part # WP10114901. The auger motor is part # 12002089. As far as the auger is concerned , if the auger and front cutter teeth are OK, then you will just remove the front bucket cover part # WP12571606 and replace the rear coupler part # WPD7749401. If anything else concerning the auger is bad then you need to rep[lace the whole assy. part # WP12740302 and drop this completely into your bin. Thank You.
