Not so easy as others have described. I kept the parts off the auger together in my hand as I replaced the drum. Thanks to the people who mentioned the nut being left handed. Taking a picture before dis-asembly saved me. I would never have gotten it back together otherwise.

Ordered part, watched video. Had a problem with reassembly of ice crushing assembly, did a re-do as one of the blades had dislodged from the drive shaft!

looked at the schematics from online

First I removed the 6 screws and then 2 more--being carefull to take cap off inside to nremove metal blades--be sure to keep in order--taking ba digital picture helps at this point--make sure to put back nin reverse order after replacing washer and new auger--went smooth thanks appliance parts repair service forum--Rick--Enjoy your own repair!!!

Pulled out the ice tray, took whatever screws held the front on. The rest was pretty easy. The only thing I would say was a problem was taking off the cutters. The front spacer is threaded, and loosens by turning clockwise. Also, the shaft that runs along the side of the tray has a spring and keeper. Make sure yoiu remember how you take it apart.

This was not a hard repair. Just remove all the screws and slide out the old Auger drum. It is always good to take a picture first incase you have any problems putting it back together. Be careful to put the ice crushers back in the same order and make sure you look at how the "door spring" connects before pulling it apart.

Had to replace the auger drum. Went fairly smooth. The video that was linked next the part was a big help, especially when all the blades of the ice chopper came off of the shaft at once and I needed to get them back in the correct order. I did a freeze frame on the moment in the video to figure out the order.

I removed the 4 screws holding the front cover in place. Removed the 4 screws holding the ice auger cover in place. Removed the c clip holding the auger on the shaft. Pulled out the auger shaft. Removed the broken auger drum and replaced with the new one. Reassembled in reverse order.

removed ice storage drawer, removed dispensing shaft from storage drawer, replaced plastic auger and reassembled.

quick and easy....

Took the Ice Bin Out emptyed it then removed the nesasary screws pulled the broken Peice off and sliped
the new part on held the metal peices together so we would know how to keep them in order for fear of putting them in wrong place but we did it now it works great thank you so much for getting the part to me so quickly your great.

I began by removing the ice maker and storing the ice. The part did not come with instructions so I began taking the ice maker apart. I ran into problems rather quickly so I went to the "part select" web site and there was a video with instructions on removal and reinstallation of the auger. It was a breeze after that. These guys are obviously professionals!
