Ge WR02X11941 Auger Dispenser Drive Coupler OEM Part

This was a two and half year issue as different things failed at different times. I would get one part, then another would fail. Ultimately, I got to a point where what failed, I hadn't been ordered the part yet. The seal on the freezer door took three bathing's before it plumped up and un-creased. The directions on the box it is shipped in said to heat the seal up in hot water then cool it down with tap water. I didn't need to do that. It took a lot of massaging of the seal, but eventually it fit. The repair would have been easier if I had a hair dryer to heat and massage the seal. I'm clean shaven (bald) and don't have a hair dryer in the home. The auger motor was one of the first things I tried to replace. Part of the problem was that the auger coupler (fork) was partially stripped, which messed up the reverse threads on the auger motor shaft. Installing the auger motor was a breeze; however I lost the pictures on my phone as to how to reconnect the electrical connections. The repair video on the subject helped with the correct wiring. The solenoid cub kit that fixes the crushed ice/ cubed ice setting wasn't so bad to install; however due to the pictures I lost on my phone, I was a little lost on how to reconnect it. Fortunately, the instructions that came in the box had pictures of several different models of the type and brand of ice maker I was trying to fix. The pictures were very small and taken from a top down angle (a slight angle and more light would have been helpful). By process of elimination, in looking at the still small photos, I was able to ascertain which line was connected on top or closest to me in the picture. I was very pleased with the customer service and repair videos available for this repair. If another appliance should fail in my home. I will always shop and buy parts from AppliancePartsPros.com first. By the way, about the light bulb. It had ice up and shorted out. I melted the ice and dried it off. Bam! I no longer have to look for chicken nuggets in the dark.

GREAT!

I first would like to offer this video as an example of what my frig was doing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFU1P_q_MqE I then went to my number one source for Diagnosis and repair and a site I have used several times for repair help. helphttps://appliantology.org I posted my problem and quickly got suggestions and tips for diagnosing my IceMaker. John helped me determine my problem and even gave me links to where I could get parts. I ordered the parts and being fairly mechanically I took my Ice maker parts and did the necessary checks to determine what parts I needed. I ordered the parts and man did they arrive fast (two days). I installed and tested and Wa La we got ice !

Replaced motor and solenoid cube along with dispenser auger. Simply watched video on repair and installation and really had no problem. My refrigerator is so old that one of the holes in the motor did not align properly. Had to drill another hole to mount the motor to the housing, took ten minutes. The ice auger took the longest as I was afraid of breaking the plastic housing trying to get the tabs to release. Had to watch the video twice to make sure I got the blades back in the right order. Suggest taking good pictures of ice auger blade configuration and setting them aside in the order they are to go back together.

Followed the tutorial video and although there were a few differences, everything went together perfectly and is now operational.
