The Auger Motor is an OEM part for LG refrigerators. It is responsible for dispensing ice from the icemaker into the ice bucket.
Symptoms of a bad auger motor include:
- Slow or incomplete ice filling of the ice bucket
- Ice clumping or jamming in the auger assembly
- Grinding or rubbing noises coming from the icemaker region
- The icemaker not producing any ice at all
Causes of a bad auger motor can be wear and tear over time, freezing or ice buildup preventing proper operation, or failure of internal motor components.
This OEM LG part is also compatible with select Sears/Kenmore models.
