Checked the ice tray and could only find the drive ring had some breaks in the plastic. Actually did not see why this would stop the auger from turning and dispensing ice. However this was the only thing I could find wrong with the unit. I pulled the tray, removed 6 screws (star tip heads) pulled the auger forward and replaced the drive wheel, put the unit back together and its been working fine ever since.

Took ice maker out all together we removed 4 to 5 screws had to remove axel to get the broken piece out and new one in my husband said it was easy in and out in about 15 minutes saved about 150. 00 Thanks partslect

unplug refrigerator, take backing off with nut driver. Pull old blade off and put new blade on. Put backing back on and plug in.

No instructions with part. Found a picture on line and changed the arm, but it didn't fix the problem. Fairly easy after figured out what needed to be done to get to the part.

I pulled the dispenser bin and emptied the existing ice (the maker worked, the dispenser would not dispense). Though there appears to be more, there are about 4 (reciting from memory)very small tap screws holding the front of the dispenser unit to the bin. The dispenser activation screw mounts over protruding items at each end. The item at the back (away from the dispenser gear package) is the drive ring that was broken. The drive ring is a small plastic cup that inserts into an opening at the back of the bin (female side to the rear) and slides into the distal end of the activation screw on the same end. One must line up the small slot on the inside of the drive ring with the end of the screw. Slide the assembly together (make sure that the cube/crush switch rod is properly clipped in place with the return spring hooked to the clip), GENTLY install the 4 or so screws and return he assembly to the freezer. It should work flawlessly. Elapsed time: 15 - 20 minutes.

Removed Control plate first. Second, I removed the next section behind the control plate. Inserted the new striker and reassembled.

removed torx screws and replaced ice bin drive ring.

Had to replace ice bucket rack because auger motor broke the plastic backing and also the auger motor because shaft was bent on old auger motor. Just followed directions on web site to do repair.

Carefully removed all of the screws to get to the compartment which housed the broken circular door that seals the ice compartment after ice has been delivered via the water fountain on the front of the refrigerator. Disconnected the wire harnesses (labeled as I went) and pulled the unit off of the fridge. It would probably be wise to have shut the power to the fridge off, although I did not. The problem was that the circular door that snaps back into place after delivering ice had severed one of the tabs that holds it in place. I discarded the old door and slipped the new door into place. There is an electromagnetic plunger that is responsible for the door opening when ice is being delivered (the system is magnetized and it draws the plunger in, thereby opening the door) and then snaps back into place once the ice button is released. I found the best way to get this back into place was to put the door (with its harness) into the "open" position and then gently force the plunger into place. Put everything together and all was good.
