Part 242221501 Auger Motor
Purpose
Drives the ice auger to dispense ice from the freezer bin.
Details
The 242221501 auger motor is a genuine OEM drive motor used in select Frigidaire and Electrolux refrigerator models. It sits behind the ice bucket and turns the auger shaft to push ice through the dispenser chute. If your dispenser fails to deliver ice, makes a humming noise without turning, or grinds when activated, the auger motor may be worn or seized. Replacing this motor restores proper ice dispensing performance and reliability.

One auger motor assembly with wiring leads and mounting plate. Screws and brackets are typically reused from the original unit.
