4.89 (64)
By: Whirlpool
Part Number: OEM18021804
Manufacturer Part Number: WP2317251

This ice container assembly stores ice in the freezer and feeds it to the dispenser on demand. Replacing a damaged or worn bin restores smooth, consistent ice dispensing and helps prevent jams and poor delivery. What it does:

  • Holds and organizes ice in the freezer for dispensing
  • Uses the internal auger to move ice toward the chute when dispensing is activated
  • Interfaces with the crusher/cube selection in applicable designs
  • Common symptoms of failure: no or intermittent ice dispensing, grinding during dispense, jammed ice, or visible cracks/broken tabs on the bin
What's included:
  • Includes: 1 ice container assembly
Install notes:
  • Disconnect power to the refrigerator before servicing
  • Remove the old bin and discard any ice; allow any frost buildup to thaw to avoid forcing parts
  • Align the auger drive with the coupling and seat the bin fully before closing the door
  • After installation, make fresh ice and discard the first batch

Also make sure that it is down far enough so that it will seat properly. To get it to go lower you can tap the top of it with the blunt end of a screwdriver. You will want to make sure that it is not down too far and check to make sure that the top is not rounded off. If it is then you will need to replace the shaft WP2188917.
