By: Whirlpool
Part Number: OEM21644160
Manufacturer Part Number: W11671282

The Auger Motor is an OEM part for Frigidaire refrigerators. This motor powers the auger in the refrigerator's ice maker unit. The auger rotates during ice-making, ejecting ice from the mold and depositing cubes into the storage bin.  

Causes of a bad auger motor can include wear and tear over time from continuous use, or damage from unbalanced ice molds or debris buildup.

Symptoms of a bad auger motor include:

  • Ice maker not producing ice or producing ice inconsistently  
  • Ice cubes jammed or frozen together in the storage bin
  • Loud buzzing or grinding noises coming from the ice maker area
  • Inability to eject ice properly into the storage bin

Replacing this OEM Frigidaire auger motor helps ensure consistent, reliable ice production. This replacement part is compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore models.

Richter J. for Model Number GAEGHH7WAET5

This weekend the noise was extremely loud, so loud it was hard to hear the television. It comes from the ice maker and sounds like it is in the protected part where the tube from the ice maker goes into the back. It made that noise two times each day and sounded like a prop airplane taking off and maybe crashing. It also has been dripping a little from the ice maker to the bottom of the freezer. This refrigerator is not very old. We bought it at the end of 2009.

Answer

Hello Richter, When the ice maker makes this kind of noise, the gears inside it are about to clash and lock up. The ice maker needs to be replaced. The water under it can either be from contacts inside the ice maker sticking, low water pressure to the valve, or a faulty water inlet valve.
