Description
Restore smooth, reliable ice dispensing in your refrigerator with this genuine OEM ice auger, part number 241716101. This auger (also sometimes called an ice screw or helix) is a key component of your ice dispenser system, rotating to move ice cubes from the bin into the dispenser chute. Because ice-dispensing mechanisms differ across model years, door styles and brands (Frigidaire, Electrolux, Gibson, etc.), please check with your maintenance technician to confirm that this part number matches your refrigerator’s full model number and that the auger is indeed the component needing replacement. frigidaireapplianceparts.com+2applianceparts.lowes.com+2
Features & Benefits
-
OEM-specified component: Built to original equipment manufacturer specifications ensuring correct fit, durability and performance. frigidaireapplianceparts.com+1
-
Precision auger/helix design: Efficiently moves ice cubes toward the dispenser chute, reducing jams, stuck cubes or inefficient dispensing.
-
Durable construction: Suitable for repeated operation in cold/freezer environment and designed to maintain alignment and motion under load.
-
Cost-effective repair: Replacing the auger alone is a far-cheaper fix than swapping out the entire dispenser assembly or door liner unit.
-
Straightforward for technician/competent DIY: Once compatibility and technician check is done, installation is typically a direct swap of the old auger for the new one.
Common Symptoms That Indicate Replacement
-
The ice dispenser lever or button activates and you hear the motor/auger spin, but cubes do not emerge (or do so very slowly) — often a worn or broken auger is slipping or stripped.
-
Ice cubes hang up, jam in the chute or partially extrude then stop — auger flights or hub may be damaged.
-
You see visible cracks, missing flights or wear in the auger helical screw when inspecting the bin/auger area.
-
The dispenser chute is noisy, grinding or scraping as it tries to move ice — indicating the auger may be catching or misaligned.
If any of these symptoms appear, ask your technician to verify that the auger 241716101 is the correct part and that the rest of the dispenser and motor assembly are intact before ordering.
