The Ice Auger is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This component is essential for the proper functioning of the ice dispensing system. The auger rotates to move ice from the ice bin through the dispenser chute, allowing ice cubes to be dispensed efficiently.
Over time, the ice auger can become worn out, broken, or jammed due to regular use or the buildup of ice and debris. Causes of a bad ice auger include wear and tear, damage from foreign objects in the ice bin, or issues with the motor that drives the auger.
Symptoms of a bad ice auger include:
- The ice dispenser not dispensing ice
- Grinding or unusual noises from the ice dispenser
- Ice cubes getting stuck or not moving through the chute
- Inconsistent or slow ice dispensing
This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
