GE Ice Maker Parts: Finding the Right Fit for Your Opal or Fridge
As Amazon Associates, we earn from qualifying purchases. This means we may receive a small commission at no extra cost to you if you click through and make a purchase.
GE ice maker parts cover two very different machines: the built-in ice maker inside a GE refrigerator, and the GE Profile Opal countertop nugget ice maker. Nugget ice is the soft, chewable ice many people love, and the Opal is GE’s popular countertop machine for making it. When something breaks or wears out on either type, the fix usually comes down to finding a part with the right part number or model match.
An important note before you shop: of the six items below, only the Opal 2.0 side tank is made by GE Appliances. The other five are third-party replacements built to fit GE machines, and they differ by which machine they serve: an auger, an ice bucket and a full ice maker kit for GE fridges, and a drain tube and a filter screen for the Opal.

Upgrade Ice Maker Dispenser Auger for GE Refrigerators

Upgrade Ice Maker Dispenser Auger
Best for: GE fridges that stopped dispensing ice
Pros
- Cross-references many GE auger part numbers
- Lists specific GE fridge models
- Metal and plastic build
Cons
- Third-party part, not made by GE
- Must confirm size before buying
The Upgrade Ice Maker Dispenser Auger is a third-party part sold under the Pokin name, not a genuine GE part. An auger is the corkscrew-shaped rod that sits in the ice bucket and turns to push ice toward the dispenser chute. When it cracks or its motor coupling wears, ice stops coming out even though the ice maker is still making it.
The listing says it works with General Electric and Hotpoint fridges and replaces WR17X11705, WR17X11939, WR17X10690 and several other part numbers. Compatible models named in the specifications include GE DSS25PFMCWW, DSS25PFMDCC and DSS25PFMDWW. It measures 14.5 by 3.9 by 3.9 inches and is made of metal and plastic. The listing claims it was tested in line with OEM standards (OEM means original equipment manufacturer, the company that made the original part).
Symptoms it is meant to fix include no ice dispensing, too little ice dispensing, and the listing also lists ice not being made and water not dispensing, which are less typical auger problems. The seller asks you to confirm size before buying. It suits a DIY repairer whose fridge makes ice but will not push it out.
Ice Maker Drain Tube for GE Opal Nugget Ice Makers
Dinlon
Ice Maker Drain Tube Fit for GE 2.0, Water Line Replacement for Original GE Opal Nugget Countertop Ices Maker, External Silicone Water Tube Fit for Opal Ice Maker Tubing Replacement Parts
Price and specifications are read from the Amazon product page and can change.
Ice Maker Drain Tube Fit
Best for: Opal 1.0 owners with clogged water lines
Pros
- Food-grade silicone tubing
- 2 long hoses, 1 short hose, clamps
- Simple back-panel swap
Cons
- Third-party part, not made by GE
- Fits square-tank Opal model only
The Ice Maker Drain Tube Fit for GE Opal is a third-party water line kit from Dinlon. Inside a countertop nugget ice maker, small hoses move water from the reservoir to the ice-making part, and over time they can build up residue that affects water flow and ice taste.
This kit includes two main external drain hoses, one short hose for under the water reservoir and spring clamps. The tubing is food-grade silicone, white, 20 inches long with a 0.25-inch outside diameter. The listing names compatibility with the GE OPAL01GEPKT Opal with the square water tank, though the title also mentions GE 2.0, so double-check your model number before ordering. Installation means unscrewing the back panel, pinching the spring clips and swapping the line.
It suits an Opal owner who notices slow water flow, odd-tasting ice or a cracked hose.
Upgraded WR17X11447 Ice Bucket Assembly for GE Side-by-Side Fridges
Alvar
Upgraded WR17X11447 Ice Bucket Assembly Forge Refrigerator Ice Bucket Parts
Price and specifications are read from the Amazon product page and can change.
Upgraded WR17X11447 Ice Bucket Assembly Forge
Best for: Side-by-side fridges needing a new bucket
Pros
- Bucket with built-in auger
- Long GE model compatibility list
- 365-day warranty
Cons
- Third-party part, not made by GE
- Capacity and wattage specs look inaccurate
The Upgraded WR17X11447 Ice Bucket Assembly Forge refrigerator ice bucket is a third-party replacement from ALVAR. It is a complete ice bin with a built-in auger system, so it replaces both the container and the corkscrew that moves ice. The listing says sealed components help protect the ice mechanism from freezer humidity and frost.
It replaces WR17X11447, WR17X12108, AP3204787, PS783770 and related numbers, and the compatible list includes GE models such as PSHS6VGXCDSS, PSHF6VGXCDWW and CSHS5UGXCSS. It measures about 18.9 by 10.67 inches. Symptoms named include no crushed ice, a broken auger and clicking noises from the bucket. A 365-day warranty is included.
One caution: the specifications list a 4.4 cubic foot capacity and 115 watts, which do not make sense for an ice bucket and are likely listing errors. Rely on the part numbers and model list instead. This part suits owners of the listed GE side-by-side fridges whose bucket or auger is cracked.

KITCHEN BASICS 101 WR30X10093 Ice Maker
Best for: Replacing a dead fridge ice maker unit
Pros
- Complete kit with fill cups and tube
- Wire adapter included
- UL/CSA approval claimed
- 1-year warranty
Cons
- Third-party part, not made by GE
- Needs careful wiring swap
The KITCHEN BASICS 101 WR30X10093 Ice Maker kit is a third-party replacement for the whole ice maker unit, the part that fills with water, freezes the cubes and ejects them. When the ice maker no longer makes ice at all, replacing the entire unit is often simpler than hunting for the faulty piece inside it.
The kit includes the ice maker, a wire adapter, power cords, end-mounted fill cups, a fill tube and an instruction sheet. It replaces WR30X10093 and a long list of older numbers such as WR30X10102 and AP4345120. The listing names GE, Hotpoint, Kenmore, Sears and RCA side-by-side refrigerators and lists many GE models, including GSS25JFMBWW and PSS26SGRBSS. It is rated at 115 volts and 116 watts and measures 10 by 5.5 by 5 inches.
The listing claims UL/CSA approval and a one-year warranty, although the warranty text refers to a different company name than the brand in the title, so keep your receipt. It suits a confident DIYer with a listed GE side-by-side fridge whose ice maker is dead.
Ice Maker Filter Piece for GE Profile Opal 1.0 and 2.0
Best for: Opal 2.0 owners who need more ice
Pros
- Genuine GE Appliances accessory
- 75-gallon capacity
- About 3X more ice before refill
- Tubing and clips included
Cons
- Fits Opal 2.0 models only
- Adds width on the counter
Best for: Routine Opal filter screen replacement
Pros
- Fits Opal 1.0 and 2.0 models listed
- Tool-free installation
- Very small and light
Cons
- Third-party part, not made by GE
- No warranty
The Ice Maker Filter Piece for GE Profile Opal is a small grey filter screen from GYPNS, not a genuine GE part. The filter screen catches particles in the water before it reaches the ice-making parts, so a torn or clogged screen can affect ice quality.
The listing names Opal 2.0 models XPIO23SCSS, XPIO23BCBT, XPIO13BCBT, XPIOX3BCBT, XPIOX3SCSS and XPIO13SCSS, plus Opal 1.0 models OPAL01GENSS and OPAL01GENKT. To install, you switch off the machine, take out the ice bucket, remove the old filter and fit the new one. It weighs 0.317 ounces and the listing states no warranty.
It suits any Opal owner doing routine maintenance. Because it is so small, it is also an easy add-on when you order other Opal parts. For background on how nugget machines work, see our nugget ice maker guide.
GE Profile Opal 2.0 Side Water Tank for More Ice
The GE Profile Opal 2.0 Side Water Tank is the one genuine GE Appliances accessory in this list (model P4AAKASSPSS). It is a 0.75-gallon tank that attaches to the side of the Opal 2.0 and feeds it extra water, so the machine can keep making ice longer before you refill.
The listing says it produces about three times more nugget ice than the built-in reservoir alone. You fill the tank, flip it into its home base, and the machine draws from it; all tubing and clips are included. It detaches in seconds for cleaning, and its slim, rounded shape keeps the countertop footprint compact. It is compatible with the Opal 2.0 in black stainless (XPIO23BCBT) and stainless steel (XPIO23SCSS).
It suits Opal 2.0 owners who host parties or use lots of nugget ice. It is not listed for the Opal 1.0. If you are still choosing a machine, our pellet ice maker guide explains the options.
How to Choose the Right GE Ice Maker Parts
First, identify your machine. Refrigerator parts (the auger, ice bucket and WR30X10093 kit) will not fit an Opal, and Opal parts will not fit a fridge. Find the model number on a sticker inside the fridge or on the back or bottom of the Opal.
Next, match part numbers. Every fridge part here lists the GE part numbers it replaces. Compare those with your old part or your fridge’s parts diagram before ordering.
Then match the part to the symptom. If ice is made but will not come out, look at the auger or bucket. If no ice is made at all, the full ice maker kit is the likely fix. For an Opal with poor water flow or ice taste, check the drain tube and filter screen. If the Opal simply runs out of water, the side tank adds capacity.
Finally, decide on genuine versus third-party. Only the side tank here is made by GE Appliances. Third-party parts can work well, but warranties vary from none to one year, so read each listing. If your fridge is a different brand, our refrigerator ice maker guide covers other options.
