Ice Bucket - GE Profile PGCS1RKZ Technical Service Manual

Ice Bucket

The ice bucket is approximately 6 inches deep and 9
inches wide and holds approximately 4 lbs of ice.
The direction of the rotating blades determine if
cubed or crushed ice exits the ice bucket. When
viewed from the back, clockwise rotation allows
the cutting side of the rotating blades to drive the
cubes into the cutting side of the stationary blades
to produce crushed ice. Counterclockwise rotation
allows the back side of the rotating blades to lift and
deliver ice cubes to the back side of the stationary
blades, allowing cubes to exit the bucket.
Rotating Blades
To access the blades:
1. Remove the ice bucket from the door and place
it front down on a protective surface.
2. Using a small fl at blade screwdriver, pry the tabs
on the lockwasher away from the hex nut.
Note: In the following step, it may be helpful to
attach an adjustable wrench to the coupling.
3. Remove the 14-mm hex nut from the coupling.
4. Remove the 6 Phillips-head screws and the
Stationary Blades
Note: Individual ice bucket parts are available and
the ice bucket can be replaced as an assembly.
