My ice maker is working fine except the frig was in storage for awhile and the auger got rusty on the surface I guess because it wasnt dried off before going to storage. Now when the ice falls it has rust on it and no one wants that in their glass.
I am wondering if I should sand the rust off the surface or replace the auger. If I replace the auger would it be very difficult since I am not that good with fine detail. looking at it I cannot tell where the screws are. Can you give me some advise on how to take the rusty one out and put a new one in.
Thank you very much
Diann

Diann I had the same problem woth my GE, and it was very easy to repair. Only 4 screws which I marked to ensure they went back correctly and I sanded the rust off with steel wool and it has been fine for almost 3 years now. My suggestion is mark everything with a sharpee pen, even place arrows on things. Good luck...
