Symptoms of a bad Fill Tube & Grommet Assembly include:

• Ice maker not producing ice due to lack of water supply
• Water leaking inside the freezer compartment
• Frost or ice formation on the back of the appliance due to leaking water
• Unusual noises as the refrigerator attempts to fill the ice maker

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

The Bucket and auger Assembly is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. It is located inside the freezer and contains the storage bucket for ice production along with the gear-driven auger mechanism. The auger works continuously during the freezing process, pushing ice cubes from the evaporator plate into the storage bucket for easy access through the dispensing door. 

Causes of a bad bucket and auger assembly can include worn or damaged gears that impair proper rotation of the auger, cracks or leaks in the storage bucket compromising food storage, or frozen components preventing mechanical function. 

Symptoms of failure include:

• Inconsistent or no ice production  
• Jammed or stuck auger mechanism
• Cracked or leaking ice bucket
• Ice cubes not dispensing from the storage area

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

The Glide Bracket is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. This left bracket supports the refrigerator drawer, allowing it to slide in and out smoothly for easy access to stored items.
