General Electric wr01x43628 Auger Bushing Top

Product Description

The GENERAL ELECTRIC wr01x43628 is an OEM top auger bushing designed for use in GE refrigerator ice maker assemblies. The auger bushing serves as a wear interface component at the top of the ice bucket auger shaft, reducing friction and maintaining proper alignment as the auger rotates to dispense ice. This part is a direct factory replacement that supports smooth, consistent auger operation. HVAC and appliance service technicians familiar with GE refrigeration platforms will recognize this as a routine wear-item replacement during ice dispenser servicing.

This bushing installs at the top of the ice maker auger assembly inside the freezer compartment of compatible GE refrigerators. It is typically replaced when the auger becomes difficult to turn, produces grinding noise, or shows visible wear at the shaft contact point. The part is suited for residential refrigerator service and is installed by appliance repair technicians as part of ice dispenser maintenance or a broader ice maker rebuild.

Key Features

• OEM GE replacement part for the top auger bushing position

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified appliance service technician. Before servicing, disconnect the refrigerator from its power source and allow the ice maker to reach a safe working temperature. Remove the ice bucket and auger assembly per the service manual procedure before replacing the bushing. Reinstall all components securely and verify smooth auger rotation before returning the unit to service.
