• Locks the helix to the drive so the auger rotates under motor power
• Maintains alignment of the auger/helix stack inside the ice bucket
• Helps prevent slippage that causes weak or no ice dispensing
• Can help address symptoms like no ice dispensing, auger not turning, or loud clicking/grinding from the bucket

• 1 helix lock plate

• Unplug the refrigerator and remove the ice bucket before servicing
• Note the order and orientation of blades, spacers, and hardware during disassembly
• Transfer/install the plate in the same orientation; tighten fasteners snug, not overtight
• Crusher blades and edges are sharp—wear cut-resistant gloves

This ice bucket auger is the helical drive inside the ice bin that advances cubes to the crusher or chute. Replacing a worn auger restores smooth, consistent dispensing of cubed or crushed ice.

• Rotates to move ice through the bucket, delivering cubes to the dispenser or through the crusher for crushed ice
• Replaces a cracked, bent, or stripped auger/helix that stalls or jams
• Can help with symptoms such as no or slow ice dispensing, auger not turning, or grinding/clicking from the ice bin
• Restores reliable engagement with the auger motor and crusher assembly

• Unplug the refrigerator and wear cut-resistant gloves
• Remove and empty the ice bin; allow any frost buildup to thaw
• Disassemble the bucket; note the exact order of crusher blades, spacers, washers, and other hardware, then transfer them to the new auger in the same sequence
• Reinstall the bin, ensuring the auger seats fully on the drive coupler before restoring power and testing

The Ice Maker Auger Drive Coupler is an OEM replacement part for GE refrigerators. It is located inside the automatic icemaker assembly. The coupler works together with the auger motor shaft to drive the rotation of the ice transport auger. 

Over time, the drive coupler can wear out or become damaged due to regular use, jamming, or improper handling. If the coupler is compromised, it can hinder the ice dispensing process.

Symptoms of a bad Auger Dispenser Drive Coupler include:

• Ice not dispensing properly
• Grinding or unusual noises from the dispenser
• The auger not rotating when the dispenser is activated
• Loose or wobbly coupler connection

This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

This helix is the plastic spiral inside the refrigerator's ice bucket that works with the auger to move ice toward the crusher and dispenser. Replacing a worn or broken helix restores smooth ice dispensing and reduces jams.

• Surrounds the auger shaft in the ice bucket to advance cubes toward the crusher/chute
• Engages when the dispenser is activated to feed ice consistently
• Replace if cracked, stripped, or warped
• Symptoms may include little or no ice dispensing, intermittent dispensing, or grinding noises from the bucket

• Unplug the refrigerator and wear cut-resistant gloves; crusher blades are sharp
• Remove and empty the ice bucket; note the order/orientation of blades, spacers, and washers during disassembly
• Transfer components to the new helix in the same sequence; reuse existing hardware
• After reassembly, verify the auger turns smoothly by hand before reinstalling and testing

This ice dispenser auger drive mounts on the dispenser motor shaft and engages the ice bucket auger. Replacing a worn or stripped drive restores the connection so your refrigerator can move ice smoothly to the chute.

• Couples the dispenser motor to the ice-bin auger to rotate and move ice toward the chute
• On models with crushers, also drives the crushing mechanism
• Worn or rounded splines can cause little or no ice dispensing even though the motor runs
• May produce clicking/grinding noises from the door during dispense
• Visible cracking or play at the coupling indicates replacement is needed

• Unplug the refrigerator and shut off water before servicing
• Remove the ice bin to access the dispenser motor shaft in the freezer door
• Note the orientation; remove the old drive and seat the new drive fully on the shaft, transferring any original hardware if present
• Reinstall the ice bin, restore power, and test ice dispense

According to GE you must also replace part number WR17X4341 auger when replacing this part.

This auger helix is the spiral ice-moving component used in refrigerator ice dispensers. It helps deliver ice from the bin to the dispenser chute so you get consistent ice flow when the dispenser motor turns. What it does:

• Transports ice from the bin toward the dispenser chute as the auger turns
