  • GE Ice auger motor freezes up

    Hi all
    I have a GE Eterna refrigerator model number ESH22XGPB-CC The motor for the ice maker auger freezes up and won't turn. As soon as I take it out and thaw the motor it will work for about a day. I've checked to see if a door seal is leaking and letting in extra moisture and its ok. The dispenser door is not leaking either. This had been going on for 2 yrs and I would really like to solve the problem. The box has had 2 motors replaced and the exact same problem re-occures. I've contacted GE and they aren't giving me any answeres.

    Auger motor boot?

    The motor for the ice [dispenser] auger freezes up
    Does the motor on your model have a rubber 'boot' (see the following link) covering it?

    LINK > Auger Motor 'Boot'

    On some early production models no boot was installed during manufacture. When those models suffered your symptoms, that cover was introduced as an add-on upgrade when freezing problems started to occur and was later added right during production of new models to try to prevent that occurrence right from the get go.

    I can't think of anything besides air leakage and a missing boot that could cause your problem.

      The boot

      I called GE parts and asked them about the boot. They had no clue. However I dug further into this awsome web sight and found the boot at appliance repair parts dot com and ordered it. I have to think this is the fix. I'll let ya know

      Thanks
