WR29X10085 General Electric Refrigerator Ice Stripper

Refrigerator Ice Stripper

GE appliances, including Hotpoint, General Electric, and Sears-Kenmore, often use this OEM replacement ice stripper. Designed specifically for GE refrigerator models with rear-mount icemakers, the ice stripper measures about 7.25 x 2.5 inches. Made from white plastic, it plays a crucial role during the ejection cycle by clearing ice from the icemaker mold, ensuring smooth transfer of ice cubes into the ice bucket.

Located inside the refrigerator, the ice stripper is vital for the consistent dispensing of ice. Improper installation might cause the ice stripper to dislodge. To prevent this, it is advisable to remove the icemaker during the installation process. The installation requires the removal of the front cover and the loosening of three screws at the front, which secure the head to the cube tray assembly. This step provides the necessary space to replace the ice stripper effectively.

Common issues resolved by replacing the ice stripper include the ice maker's failure to dispense ice.
