• Symptom-focused solution: Specifically addresses the common symptom of an ice maker that is not making or dispensing ice by replacing the worn or broken drive gear.

Who It's For

This drive gear is aimed at homeowners or service technicians who are confident performing small appliance repairs and need a direct replacement for a worn or broken gear in an ice maker assembly. It is also useful for those who want a cost-effective alternative to a full ice maker replacement and prefer restoring the original unit.
