This ice enclosure is the molded housing for the refrigerator's ice path. It supports and aligns related components so ice moves properly and helps keep warm air out to reduce frost and moisture around the ice area.

  • Provides a rigid mounting point for ice-path components to keep alignment and flow
  • Helps maintain an air barrier to minimize frost, sweating, and ice clumping
  • Replace if the original housing is cracked, warped, or broken
  • Common symptoms include frost or condensation near the ice opening, ice clumps, or poor/jammed ice dispensing
What's included: One ice enclosure
  • Disconnect power and shut off water before servicing
  • Access the ice area (door or interior access varies by model); retain screws and clips for re-use
  • Transfer any guides, seals, or switches from the original enclosure to the new part in the same orientation
  • Reassemble, restore power, and check for smooth operation and a good seal

Answer

Hello Kathleen. First remove the ice crusher bin. Then look at the bottom of the ice enclosure shelf to the right. There is one 1/4 inch hex head screw that holds it in place. Remove this screw and slide up and out and there is a wire harness that must be unplugged. Once the harness is unplugged, the ice enclosure shelf will come out. Replace in reverse order. Be aware, the screw must be reinstalled to keep the ice enclosure shelf in proper position for normal operatio0n. I hope you found this useful. Have a great day!
