Replace oxidized auger and Ice bucket assembly
Very simple replacement of complete assembly. I debated replacing individual parts that would have taken considerable effort. Ordered the complete assembly and it was simple to replace.Removal of face plate by removing two Philips screws and reusing them to hold face plate on. Jim

The auger was rusted with age and made the ice taste bad.
The disassembly and reassembly was straightforward but the parts diagram was very helpful to help you get it back together. Make sure you get the convexity of the clip that retains the clear plastic barrel to the auger pointing in the right direction. The metal plate that that comes out with the assembly seems to rust as fast as the auger, so you should just order that when you order the auger. I did not replace the plate so I cleaned it and painted it with epoxy paint before I reassembled.

The silver plating on the auger was coming loose, rusting and getting in the ice cubes.
All I had to do was remove four (4) screws from the old ice bucket assembly to remove the front cover and attach it with the existing screws to the new ice bucket assembly. It was a very simple repair. Thanks for the expedient delivery and the exact replacement part that I needed.

Ice bucket assembly broke
Ice bucket and auger came fully assembled. Just had to attach the face plate from the broken ice bucket assembly and slide it into the freezer. There were only four Phillips screws involved.

failed light switch
I started removing the switch by prying on the right side with a screwdriver, when it emerged enough I used pliers to finish removing it. I then unpluged rhe wires from the bad switch and pluged them on the new switch and "poped" it into the hole.

Bucket was broken at the back where the auger turns.
Removed the bucket assembly from the freezer. Remove the four screws holding the front cover on the bucket. They are on the backside of the front cover. Installed the old front cover on the new ice bucket with the four screws.
