Refrigerator Auger, Helix, Crusher
Genuine Ge part
By: Ge
Part Number: WR17X11457
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
What's included: One helix Installation notes:
- 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

Ice dispenser failure Craig D. • Saint Louis , MO • July 21, 2015
Ice was not being dispensed when lever was pushed in either crushed or cubed mode I removed the ice bin. After searching the web for reasons for this I pulled the bin out and started looking at auger assembly. I noticed that the sections of the Helix blades were missing. Ordered the Helix here at AAP and received the part the next day. The whole process took about an hour and as others have noted, you have to disassemble the bin assembly to get the auger assembly out. I watched the video...

Ice maker was not ejecting cubes. Would make ice but never flip completely over to spill them into the tray. Lorenzo Z. • Rutherfordton , NC • March 12, 2014
Replaced the entire ice making unit. It was a very simple project. The original ice maker is held in place by two screws at the front and some tabs in the back. Removing the screws allowed the unit to come free from the tabs and drop down. We simply released the wiring clip, removed the broken unit and reversed the process. The repair took about ten minutes and is something I have never done before. I am guessing we saved over $100 by ordering from AppliancePartsPros.com and doing the job...

Determined the helix lock was free wheeling on auger helix dispenser not allowing auger to dispense ice properly. Auger also replaced because it had some badly worn areas around the blade assembly. Using videos available for instructions on how to disassemble auger dispenser the job was fairly easy. While I had the assembly removed I also replaced the drive cup which appeared worn.

Ice crusher repair GE Monogram counter depth. Glenn J. • El Cajon , CA • July 27, 2020
This was a very easy repair, the on-line video at AppliancePartsPros.com was helpful.
The Helix was spinning freely (meaning, the Auger Blade was not holding it in place on the Auger).
Pulling the assembly apart was a snap, and very logical (the video is perfect if you get lost).
The family is now enjoying both crushed and cubed ice - and the redesign of the Auger Blade seems to prevent clogging in the ice shoot.
