Description
Restore proper ice release in your refrigerator with the genuine OEM ice stripper part WR29X10085 from GE. This component is the strip-arm mechanism used inside the ice-maker assembly to push or release ice cubes into the bin. Because ice-maker designs, chute geometry, and part shapes vary by model and manufacturing year, please check with your maintenance technician to verify that WR29X10085 matches your appliance’s full model number and that the ice-maker stripper is indeed the failing part before placing your order. geapplianceparts.com+1
Features & Benefits
-
OEM‐specified part: Engineered to match GE’s original ice-maker design for proper fit and reliable function. geapplianceparts.com+1
-
Precise ice release: The stripper mechanism ensures that ice cubes are released from the ice tray into the storage bin without jamming or mis-firing. hdsupplysolutions.com
-
Durable plastic construction: Designed to withstand the low-temperature, high-cycle environment of an ice-maker.
-
Cost-effective repair: Replacing just the strip-arm is significantly less expensive than replacing the entire ice maker module when the cause is confined to this part.
-
Service-friendly swap: With correct compatibility confirmed, this part can be installed by a qualified technician with limited disruption.
Common Symptoms That Indicate Replacement
-
Ice cubes form in the tray but are not released into the bin; you may hear the motor turn but no release occurs.
-
Ice remains stuck in the tray or falls only partially, creating a “bridge” of cubes causing jamming.
-
The ice-maker cycles normally but the bin remains empty or nearly empty—indicating the strip-arm failed to push the cubes out.
-
Visual inspection shows the strip-arm is broken, cracked, missing, or worn such that it no longer reaches the cubes.
If any of these symptoms appear, have your technician verify that the ice-maker stripper (WR29X10085) is the correct failing component and check the rest of the ice-maker mechanism for related issues.
Compatibility / Partial Model Notes
-
The part WR29X10085 is listed by GE as a “Refrigerator ice-maker stripper”. geapplianceparts.com+1
-
According to eReplacementParts it is compatible with over 1,300 models, including many GE side-by-side and bottom-freezer refrigerators. ereplacementparts.com
-
Example models include: GE PSS26MGTABB, ESF25LGRBBB, ESS25LSRASS, etc. ereplacementparts.com
Important: This is not a complete list. Because ice-maker trays, release arm geometries and mounting tabs vary across model years, door styles, and regions, you must verify the appliance’s full model number (including suffix letters) and compare the old part’s geometry before ordering.
Cross Reference
-
Some listings indicate WR29X10085 replaces or is related to older part WR02X11548. hdsupplysolutions.com
-
Ensure that any alternate or legacy part numbers you find are truly equivalent for your specific ice-maker version.
Compatibility Notes
-
Matching the full appliance model number, including suffixes and variant codes, is essential—even if the old strip-arm appears identical. Subtle changes in tray width, arm length or mounting tabs may exist.
-
Replacing the stripper resolves only the release mechanism — if the ice-maker motor, control module, or tray heater/freeze subsystem is faulty, the symptom may persist even after installing this part.
-
Installation: Power off the refrigerator, remove the ice-maker assembly (or access per manufacturer instructions), remove the old arm/stripper, replace with WR29X10085 making sure it engages correctly with the ice tray, re-install ice-maker, restore power, test by allowing a full ice-making cycle and verifying cubes drop into the bin without hang-ups.
-
After installation, monitor for several cycles to ensure smooth operation, no jamming, and consistent ice delivery.
