Common Symptoms That Indicate Replacement Is Needed
-
Ice cubes are being produced but nothing dispenses when you press the door dispenser—bucket may be jammed or auger stripped.
-
You hear the dispenser motor run but the ice bucket doesn’t turn or move the auger properly.
-
The bucket is cracked, broken or has separated components, causing ice to jam or spill.
-
The auger arm is damaged, bent or stripped of its drive ridge—leading to ice build-up or squealing during dispense.
-
Frequent blockages in the chute or ice clumping in the bucket despite production being normal.

Ensure your refrigerator model number appears in the parts breakdown listing WR17X11447 before purchase.
Compatibility Notes
-
Verify your appliance’s model number and part number for the existing bucket/auger before ordering—just because an assembly looks similar doesn’t guarantee correct fit.
-
Make sure the auger drive shaft, bucket mounting tabs, and liner channel match the design of your model’s original piece.
-
If your bucket is cracked or auger is damaged due to misuse or ice‐chunk jamming, check the chute and door dispenser path for obstruction to prevent repeat failure.
-
Installation typically involves removing the old bucket & auger assembly, disconnecting wiring (if applicable), and sliding the new assembly into position—refer to model service instructions.
-
Replacing the bucket & auger will restore dispensing, but it does not fix ice maker production issues (e.g., failing ice maker, water line issues, freezer temperature problems). Those should be considered separately.
