242221501 Frigidaire Auger Motor

The Auger Motor is a standard OEM replacement part designed for use in Frigidaire refrigerators, and it is compatible with certain Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and some Kenmore models. This motor is essential for the operation of the ice maker as it drives the auger mechanism that moves and dispenses ice.

Located in the freezer compartment, the auger motor can fail due to several reasons. These include wear and tear on the motor windings from continuous use, loose electrical connections that may lead to failure, and obstructions in the auger mechanism that overstrain the motor.

When the auger motor fails, the ice maker may stop working, produce a grinding noise, or the auger system may become jammed or stall. This part is also used in appliances sold under the Sears-Kenmore brand, indicating its broad application across multiple product lines.
