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. Without a properly functioning drive bar, ice cubes may not be dispensed as needed. Please Note: The nut is no longer separate. It is now part of this drive bar.
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.
