Product review (5 stars): Back in business! Ice crushing business that is!
Wow, Amazon even sells a random fridge ice auger motor assembly. Who knew? I had to Google a bit for my fridge to figure out how the hell to get to the motor to replace it, but once I found the one thread on the internet that someone posted a step-by-step, I was able to get in there and replace this thing in a matter of minutes. It's been going strong since. Here's a tip to keep yours in good condition... if you're going on vacation a couple weeks and you come back and your ice is rock hard and won't come out after a second or two... dump that ice out (pour cool water on it til it melts enough to knock out), and let the ice maker make more ice for you... Gringing the auger against an ancient glacier (okay a bit exaggeration here) is just going to kill your motor, so do yourself a favor and don't do that again, you goober!
