Ge WR71X10197 Ice Bucket Shelf OEM Part

Drilled out the rivets on the rear of the bucket shelf on each side (needed an angle drive drill for the left side) and removed the front screws. Installed the new shelf both sides with original screws in the front and 8-32 bolts and nuts in the rear. 3 screws to install the bucket to the auger assembly.

Replaced with new ones

Unfortunately, I had to replace the entire ice maker, as the fill cup wasn't available separately. I also replaced the ice bucket shelves, as they were sagging, making it difficult to insert the ice bucket. The only difficulties were in installing the new shelves with a pop rivet. It was awkward positioning everything in the tight confines of my side by side freezer compartment and squeezing the pop rivet tool while keeping the rivet properly in place. It took me a couple of tries to get it right. The other slight difficulty was with positioning the new power cord so that the ice bucket would slide into place, as the cord was quite stiff and didn't want to bend and keep its shape. I also used an oscillating tool with a bimetal place to cut through the old rivets for the shelves instead of trying to chisel the rivets as in the video.

Ordered the parts i needed to fix it from Appliance Parts Pro Got them very fast put them in and it's ready to ga
