Ge WR17X11447 Ice Bucket Assembly OEM Part

After seeing the extensive list/pictures of repair parts available on your web site and really not knowing what parts needed to be replaced, I decided that it would be easier just to order a complete Ice Bucket Assembly. It took longer to open the box than it did to install the new Ice Bucket. And delivery was really quick too, about 4 days from order to delivery...that is service defined. I'll be back for any future repairs on my other appliances.

Unit worked properly after installing new ice bucket unit.

Having a difficult time getting the final parts separated to pull out the auger and get at the drive cup I decided to go ahead and order the complete assembly. During the process of the new order my wife was finally able to get the auger out and discovered the rod of the auger was trying to work its way through the plastic wall and had created such and indentation that the parts would not pull up and out like the video showed. I did replace the drive cup and all is working fine for now. However, I will keep the new complete assembly ready for the next time I need to replace a part and I believe the rod will eventually work its way through the plastic. I did appreciate the repair videos and quick shipping of both parts.

I removed the old ice bucket and put in the new one. No tools were needed...just my hands! I was most amazed about the amount of time it took to receive the new one. I ordered it on a Tuesday afternoon and it arrived the next day! I'm totally impressed!!!

Ordered right hand bucket glide and complete ice bucket assembly (cost more than just the cover, but did so in case other ice bucket assembly parts were worn out). Replacing bucket glide was done relatively easily by first turning off the icemaker, removing the old ice bucket assembly from the glides, removing all screws on the right hand glide, and loosening the screws on the left hand glide. This allowed the drive motor assembly (which fits in slots at the back of each glide) to move enough to allow removal and replacement of the right hand glide. I then reinstalled the right hand glide screws, and tightened all screws on both glides. Once the glides were back in place, I inserted the new ice bucket assembly, turned the ice maker back on, and checked for proper operation. Done! I also now have many spare parts for the ice bucket assembly (except for the broken cover) should any other parts fail or wear out.
