Exactly what I needed.

Easy to install. The shaft went from the motor to the ice dispenser. The splines on the old shaft were wore out. The new shaft fixed the problem.

Sears lists wrong replacement part for original.
April 07, 2021

Sears lists this part (WP2188917) as a replacement part for original part #2198624. However the newer replacement drive shaft is 1/8" smaller in diameter and will not fit correctly into the ice crusher coupling above it or the auger motor below it. Also, new part does not have hollow chamber in top for spacer and spring to fit into. Photo shows this hollow chamber on original part. Contacted Sears customer service and they simply sent me the same incompatible replacement part a second time. As of now, still unable to fix this problem because can't locate the correct size auger motor drive shaft.

Original shaft has hollow chamber at top to hold indicated spacer and spring. Replacement shaft does not have this chamber.

It took less than 5 minutes to remove the old shaft and replace it with the new. 2 screws in and out.

Longer than the last one
February 23, 2021

I am a lucky fella. It's not everyday a guy gets a new SHAFT. My old SHAFT just wasn't performing anymore. It was soft, bent, and too short... Well the good folks down at Sears Parts Direct have really outdone themselves this time. My replacement SHAFT came even before I was ready! Wow what a surprise! This new SHAFT is a little longer than my old one but don't you worry, I still got it in there. I always do ;). Anyway, I gotta get back to my surgery. Bye.

Longer Shaft
December 23, 2020

This shaft was slightly longer so it was able to index perfectly with the female ice box slot. I used to have to use my hand to get the ice, but with the longer shaft, I just get it through the door.. Now my ice maker is crushing it again.
