Directions for the Cup Drive on a GE Profile Icemaker

GE Profile icemakers come with a built-in freezer. This freezer allows people to create ice cubes and freeze foods. All of the freezers come with a drive cup that covers the ice auger unit. This protects the mechanisms on the inside of the ice machine from jamming. If your drive cup has cracked or broken, you can replace it with just a few tools and a replacement drive cup. You don’t have to call GE to replace the drive cup. You can do it yourself with little hassle.
