Whirlpool WP2317240 Refrigerator Ice Auger Assembly OEM Part

Replaced ice auger.

Replaced necessary parts.

I went on your site and found the rod I needed based on the scale drawing you had. I guessed on the coupling you had shown but didn't look close enough. But I salvaged the old one and took the unit apart with some difficulty. The old rod expanded at the bottom when the bushing tore out and I had to grind it down with a dremel. Put the new rod in and the unit works fine, cubed, and crushed ice!

All I needed as the auger coupler that connects it with the drive shaft to the ice maker, but the screw attaching the coupler to the auger was corroded and I ended up stripping the screw. So I had to drill out the old screw and scrap the auger. Bought a new auger, screw, and coupler and the repair went well. Re-assembling the ice blades was a little tricky, but a pretty easy repair at the end of the day.

Replaced auger, auger motor drive shaft, coupler, drive shaft seal, and spring. Had to drill screw to remove coupler on old auger. Used tape to hold ice blades in place while changing augers. Worked great; with a steady hand. Process was easier than I expected.
