Product Description
The General Electric wr29x42446 is a replacement ice bucket auger designed for residential refrigerators equipped with an ice dispenser. The auger is the rotating component inside the ice bucket that moves ice from the storage bucket toward the dispenser chute. When this part fails or becomes damaged, ice dispensing stops or becomes unreliable. This part is constructed from plastic and metal components and weighs approximately 0.5 pounds. Installation is typically handled by an appliance service technician or a knowledgeable DIYer comfortable working inside refrigerator freezer compartments.
This auger fits residential refrigerators with ice dispenser systems. It is suited for units where the original auger has cracked, broken, or worn to the point that ice movement through the dispenser chute is impaired. Compatible brands include GE, Hotpoint, and RCA. Verify the part number against your unit's service label before ordering to confirm fitment.
