DA31-00105A - Whirlpool Refrigerator Auger Motor

This Auger Motor (DA31-00105A) is a genuine part for Whirlpool and Samsung refrigerators, known for its role in the ice-dispensing process. It operates by receiving a signal from the refrigerator's control board when the ice dispenser is activated, converting electrical power into mechanical energy. This prompts the auger, a spiral-shaped metal rod, to rotate and push ice cubes towards the dispenser chute for easy collection. Also known as a geared-auger motor, it plays a vital role in ensuring smooth and efficient operation, enhancing the appliance's functionality. If your refrigerator's ice dispenser struggles to push ice through the chute, makes unusual noises during operation, or fails to dispense ice altogether, it may be time to replace the Auger Motor. Check your device's model number for compatibility before purchasing to ensure this part will fit your appliance.
