Removing the ice bucket

The first step is to open the freezer door and remove the ice bucket:

1. Fully open the freezer door to access the ice bucket. Locate the bucket along the top interior of the freezer.
2. Grip the sides of the ice bucket, lift up slightly, and pull straight outward to detach the bucket.
3. Carefully set the ice bucket aside on a towel to prevent scratching the bucket or surrounding floor/counter.

With the bucket removed, you’ll have clear access to the ice crusher housing.

Removing the ice crusher cover

To access the crusher blades, you’ll need to detach the outer cover:

1. Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the two screws located on the underside edges of the cover.
2. Carefully flip the ice bucket assembly over to access the two cover screws on the opposite side. Remove these screws.
3. With all screws detached, slowly separate the cover from the housing and set it aside.

Take care when removing the cover to avoid damaging the plastic components. Work slowly and avoid bending or twisting the cover.

Removing the E-clip and washer

Before removing crusher components, two small parts need to be detached:

1. Use a flathead screwdriver to pry off the e-clip located at the base of the crusher drive shaft. Insert the screwdriver into the gap in the e-clip and flex it outward to release its grip.
2. Remove the metal washer sitting below the e-clip and set both parts aside for reinstallation later.

Removing the auger cover

With the e-clip and washer detached, the auger cover can be removed:

1. Use a quarter-inch nut driver to remove the two screws securing the auger cover to the drive assembly housing.
2. Locate the release tab along the side of the auger cover. Pull outward to detach this bar from the ice door.
3. Rotate the loose auger cover and lift it off the assembly. Set it aside carefully.

Removing the auger nut and blades

Now the crusher blades can be accessed:

1. Use pliers to loosen and unthread the auger nut from the end of the drive shaft. Remove the nut and set it aside.
2. One at a time, lift off the auger spacers and blades. Note the order and orientation of each part. Set them aside.
3. Remove the bottom spacer and finally lift off the ice crusher blade to be replaced.

Take care when handling the sharp crusher blades during disassembly.

Replacing ice crusher blade 

You now can install the new replacement ice crusher blade:

1. Check that the new blade has the correct numbering marked on the underside.
2. Position the new blade in the same orientation as the old one, with the numbered side facing down.
3. Set the bottom spacer atop the blade. You are now ready to reassemble the auger components.

Reassembling the auger assembly

Reinstall all the components in reverse order:

1. Stack spacers and blades in the sequence noted during disassembly.
2. Thread the auger nut back onto the end of the drive shaft. Tighten down completely using pliers if needed.
3. Set the auger cover in place, aligning the tab with the ice door cutout. Resecure with screws.
4. Replace the e-clip and washer on the drive shaft base. Press firmly to ensure the e-clip clicks into place.

Replacing the outer cover

You’re now ready to finish reassembly:

1. Align the edges of the outer cover over the housing.
2. Use a Phillips screwdriver to reinstall the two underside cover screws.
3. Flip the assembly over and screw in the two top cover screws.

Reinstalling the ice bucket

The last step is to put the ice bucket back in place:

1. Align the ice bucket rails and steadily slide the bucket back into the interior freezer tracks.
2. Once fully inserted, close the freezer door. The repair is complete!
