How to Install an Auger Dispenser in a GE Refrigerator

The auger dispenser of a GE refrigerator’s ice dispenser bin is a long, twisted metal part that is used to separate the ice as it is made and crushed within the bin. When you first purchase your refrigerator you may need to assemble the ice dispenser yourself and fully install the auger. If you’re replacing the auger within the ice maker, then a new auger part can be purchased from an online retailer or order from the GE manufacturer.
