GE Refrigerator Ice Maker Stripper (WR29X10085)

The GE Refrigerator Ice Maker Stripper is the component that sweeps or pushes finished ice cubes off the mold and into the ice storage bin during the harvest cycle. It works alongside the ejector mechanism to ensure each batch of ice is cleanly released so the mold can refill and begin the next freeze cycle.

The GE Refrigerator Ice Maker Stripper can wear out or crack over time due to repeated contact with the ice mold, exposure to freezing temperatures, or stress from ice that has fused together or grown too large. A damaged stripper may leave ice stuck to the mold, cause incomplete harvests, or allow the ejector to jam during the release cycle.

These symptoms may point to a failing ice maker stripper in your refrigerator:

- Ice cubes remain stuck to the mold after the harvest cycle completes

- Ice maker stops producing ice or cycles without dropping cubes into the bin

- Visible cracks, chips, or deformation on the stripper component

- Ice clumps together or arrives in the bin as a fused block

- Ice maker makes a grinding or straining noise during the harvest cycle

- Ice production is inconsistent or lower than normal
