The Auger Motor is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This motor powers the auger mechanism in the ice maker, which is responsible for dispensing ice through the door. The auger motor turns the auger blade, pushing ice from the bin through the chute to the dispenser.
Common causes of a bad auger motor include wear and tear from regular use, electrical failures, or damage from ice jams. A malfunctioning auger motor can lead to issues with ice dispensing and may prevent ice from being dispensed altogether.
Symptoms of a bad auger motor include:
- Ice not dispensing when the lever or button is pressed
- Unusual noises or grinding sounds during ice dispensing
- The auger not turning or moving intermittently
- No ice being pushed through the chute
This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and some Kenmore models.
