How to Troubleshoot & Replace Ge AP2642471 / WR1X1367D Retainer Ring (12-Pack) - E-Style

The crusher cover has been broken for some time now. Actually a matter of years. Recently it has started dumping a large quantity of cubes after releasing the dispensing arm wasting dumping excess ice on the floor. I decided to go ahead and order the parts as I'm a DIY person and love to save $$. Quite easy to repair with the exception of disassembly of the Bucket from the housing but there is at least one video with instructions on this step minimizing breaking parts. That was the most time consuming avoiding splitting the plastic (warm it up first is the real secret). Ordered Crusher cover, Auger Nut (original damaged but probably usable) and E-clips. Only frustration was all parts shipped individually arriving on three consecutive days. Once all parts received easy to repair and place back in service. I wish the E-style retaining clips were available individually but now I have 9 spares. :) Remember the Auger nut is a reverse/left hand thread. This is explained in the video instructions for the Crusher cover part. 

Ordered the helix and helix lock. Mine was no longer oval on the helix lock and the helix was cracked so the helix would spin freely. My husband repaired last night, it took about 30 minutes after allowing the parts to warm. I recommend taking photos as you go so you know exactly how things go back together, I think that really helped the repair go smoothly and quickly. Dispenses ice like new again! 

Exactly like described in the video
