• The auger failing to rotate when the ice dispenser lever is engaged

This OEM GE part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

The Ice Deflector Spring is an OEM replacement part for GE refrigerators. This spring is a crucial component of the ice dispensing system, specifically in selecting between crushed and whole ice cubes. It is designed to always force the diverter back in a way that the cubes get crushed. When whole cubes are selected, the solenoid pulls the lever against the spring’s tension to shift the configuration, allowing cubes to bypass the crusher blades.

Causes for a malfunctioning Ice Deflector Spring can include wear and tear from regular use, corrosion due to constant exposure to moisture, or mechanical failure that prevents it from effectively reverting the diverter to the crushed ice configuration.

Symptoms of a bad Ice Deflector Spring include:

• The ice dispenser only dispensing whole cubes, even when crushed ice is selected
• The diverter not returning to the crushed ice configuration
• Unusual sounds during the ice dispensing process
• The need for manual intervention to get crushed ice

This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.
