On GE PSS26LSRCSS, the auger shaft is held at the rear by an E-clip and washer, and at the front by a threaded bearing retainer.

  1. Turn the icemaker off, remove the bin, and empty it.
  2. Remove the Phillips screws from the front cover; lift the cover off.
  3. Remove the clear shield and disconnect the dispenser actuator arm/spring.
  4. Use a flat screwdriver to release the retaining tabs and lift the auger/crusher housing out of the bin.
  5. At the rear end of the shaft, pry off the E-clip carefully, then remove the washer.
  6. Lift the rear/end housing off the shaft. The end mount can now be removed and replaced.
  7. If the shaft must come completely apart, hold the auger and loosen the front bearing retainer by turning it clockwise—it uses a left-hand thread. Keep every crusher blade and spacer laid out in exact order.

Reassembly is the reverse: end housing → washer → E-clip. Make sure the clip is fully seated in the shaft groove before reinstalling the assembly. GE identifies the commonly used auger as WR17X11705, but verify the replacement end-mount part against the model diagram before ordering.
