The product, in the report: GE Side by Side Refrigerat Model GSHS6HGDBCSS
GE Side by Side Refrigerator / Freezer, (Model # GSHS6HGDBCSS, and other similar models); has a potential deadly safety issue with the ice maker:
(1) Refrigerator ice bucket cover, crushing housing and dispenser auger plate WR17X11497 , and (2) Refrigerator ice maker auger assembly WR17X11939
are made of plastic. The plastic can, and does, crack and break; dispersing pieces of sharp, rigid plastic into the glass held under the dispenser. The potentially deadly pieces of clear plastic are not easily distinguishable from the crushed or cubed ice.
I had several pieces of broken plastic fall into my glass, held under the dispenser. One piece was a couple of inches long; and the other pieces were about a half inch in length. These are sharp and rigid pieces of plastic that broke loose.
Even after ordering and replacing the components above; I still found a couple pieces of small sharp pieces of plastic in my glass. Not sure if these additional and subsequent pieces of plastic were left over from the dispensing hole; or if the replacement components broke again.
These pieces of plastic are small enough, rigid enough, and sharp enough that they can lodge in a person’s throat or intestines and possibly result in choking or death.
Extremely Dangerous!!!
