W11671282 Whirlpool Refrigerator Auger Motor

Refrigerator Auger Motor Overview:
The auger motor is a crucial component in the ice maker unit of a refrigerator, responsible for powering the auger that rotates and dispenses ice into the storage bin. This motor is an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) part designed specifically for Frigidaire refrigerators. Notably, Whirlpool manufactures this type of motor for various brands including Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral, and also supplies products to Sears-Kenmore and Ikea.

Common issues with an auger motor often stem from regular wear and tear due to persistent use or from damage caused by unbalanced ice molds or the accumulation of debris.

Signs of a malfunctioning auger motor include:
- Inconsistent or complete lack of ice production.
- Ice cubes sticking together or jamming in the storage bin.
- Noticeable buzzing or grinding noises from the ice maker.
- Failure to properly eject ice into the storage bin.

Installing a replacement OEM auger motor from Frigidaire can help maintain efficient and dependable ice production. This part is also compatible with appliances from Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore, ensuring a wide range of applicability.
