Restore smooth operation to your nugget ice maker with this auger bushing replacement compatible with Opal Nugget Ice Maker 1.0 and 2.0 models.

Over time, the original auger bushing inside the ice maker may wear down due to constant rotation, water exposure, and mineral buildup. This wear can cause screeching or grinding noises, along with black residue or sludge appearing in the water reservoir or ice bin.

This replacement bushing is made from food-grade Acetal, a material widely used in mechanical applications requiring low friction and high durability. Once installed, it helps restore smooth auger rotation and reduce abnormal noise during ice production.

Installation Note
This product does not come with pre-applied grease. For best results, apply a food-grade lubricant to the bushing before installation to reduce friction and extend the lifespan of the part.

Compatibility
Compatible with nugget ice makers using a 6-hole extruder system, including:
Compatible with GE Opal Nugget Ice Maker 1.0
Compatible with GE Opal Nugget Ice Maker 2.0

Please verify your extruder type before ordering.
