ge drive gears stripped on ice maker




How do you replace the drive gears on a ge mechanical ice maker?




Find your part:




Answer

Hi,

The big gear has a screw and all you have to do is remove the screw. Once the screw is out the gear should come right off. The small gear will prize off with a screwdriver. Both of these gears can be hard to find but most any appliance store (especially independent appliances store that offer service) should have old icemakers lying around. In most cases they will be happy to sell you a gear.

Thank you,
Shawn/administrator

Great! I honestly didn’t think they sold either of them especially the small one. Do you still have the part numbers?

Thank you!!

I should have known this but for years I have been saving the gears off of old icemakers and I was under the assumption you couldn’t get them. They are a little on the expensive side for what they are but it beats a new icemaker.

Shawn, I thought they were pricey but there was nothing else wrong with the icemaker. Its pumping out the ice now.
