Ge WR17X11459 Refrigerator Ice Maker Drive Cup OEM Part

Followed the steps in the video. Just ensure you slide the auger forward so it clears the housing before trying to remove it.

Tried to disassemble unit as described in other customers posting; on verge of breaking more components. Finally pried front of auger out of bin far enough to install new drive cup. Part works fine at about one half cost of ordering through G E directly.

Replaced drive cup

When I took it apart I found that the drive cup was cracked, the helix lock plate hole was reamed out and the ice deflector spring was broken. The biggest problem was the helix had slipped down the shaft and allowed the end of the shaft to bore a hole in the housing which made it a bear to get out. Others have had the same problem. Once I got past that obstacle, it was simple to replace all the parts and it's working like normal again. Very helpful video explaining the repair.

I follow directions from the video on repair for my model. My family was watching it made me look like a pro. I was really surprised to see my part arrive the next day after placeing my order fantastic.
