Drive Shaft / Coupling
The drive shaft / coupling connects the motor
to the ice container auger. The coupling at the
top of the motor drive shaft is spring-loaded to
allow replacing the ice container without hav-
ing to orient its coupling with the motor drive
shaft coupling. If the two couplings do not en-

gage when the container is placed on the door,
the motor drive shaft coupling will be de-
pressed. The next time ice is dispensed, the
motor drive shaft coupling will spring up, and
engage the ice container coupling.
The original designed units use a pin that rests
on a spring, located inside the drive shaft. The
newly designed units have only the spring,
which rests in a shallower opening at the top
of the drive shaft, and eliminates the need for
the pin.
On newly designed models, the hex drive shaft
coupling has a skirt around it to prevent any
pieces of a damaged coupling from falling down
the chute.
