This augur nut is a genuine Frigidaire part, sold individually. It can be used as a replacement part for a refrigerator. This augur nut serves as a fastening component for the augur of an ice maker located inside the refrigerator; this nut maintains the placement of components within the ice maker so that ice and water can be dispensed properly and efficiently.An augur nut might have to be replaced if it is lost, misplaced, or stripped to the point that it is rendered ineffective. The primary sign of an augur nut that is missing or stripped is an ice maker that cannot dispense ice. If this is occurring, the infrastructure of the ice maker should be inspected, and if it is revealed that the augur nut is missing or has been stripped to the point that it cannot fasten its components, this genuine OEM replacement part should be ordered.This is an OEM part sourced directly from the manufacturer. It is sold individually. This augur nut is compatible with the following appliance brands: Frigidaire, Kenmore, Electrolux, Westinghouse, Tappan, Crosley, Gibson, and Universal.

The Ice Auger Drive Bar is an OEM replacement part for Frigidaire refrigerators. It plays an important role in allowing the icemaker assembly to function properly by transmitting rotational force from the motor to the ice auger.

Causes of a bad ice auger drive bar can include wear and tear from frequent use, damage due to heavy ice loads, or corrosion from moisture exposure. A malfunctioning drive bar can result in inefficient ice dispensing or complete failure of the ice dispensing mechanism.

Symptoms of a bad drive bar include:

• Ice cubes not dispensing when requested
• Noise or grinding sounds coming from the icemaker area
• Stalling or failure of the icemaker assembly to rotate fully
• Inability to harvest or eject ice from the ice molding trays

This Frigidaire OEM replacement part is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and some Kenmore models.
