Frigidaire 241685201 Drive Cam OEM Part

Initially I noticed the crusher drum was cracked and broken so I replaced the drum the retaining nut on the end of the auger and the circlip and washer. it worked fine for a time and then the drum began free wheeling. upon further inspection I discovered the retain nubs on the auger had worn down allowing the blade to slip down the auger body. so I replaced the auger, drum, drive blade, and drive cam. I recommend if you gave a problem with the ice dispenser you break down and inspect the entire assembly un the ice bin. this will save you a lot of time. in the midst of all this the drive motor burned out as well. bottom line I rebuilt the crusher back to front starting at the drive motor the only parts not replaced were the bin itself and the crusher blades. if you are mechanically inclined this is no big deal. when it comes to assembly use your camera on your phone to take pics of wiring and orientation of crusher blades for quick reference .

The problem started with a flickering light bulb. It was screwed in tight (too tight it turns out), so I replaced the door switch thinking that was the issue. After replacing the switch, the problem continued and I started to smell a burning plastic smell. I immediately shut off the power to the fridge and transferred everything. Upon inspection, the light socket was partially melted around the base of the bulb! I was able to remove the bulb and saw that the bulb was making poor contact inside the base. That combined with the heat from the incandescent bulb caused the socket to melt. The replacement came in quick and was a breeze to replace. Within 5 minutes I had the new socket in there with an LED bulb. No more hot bulbs to deal with. While everything was out I also replaced the drive cam for the ice container since it was cracked. It was also an easy fix.
