This ice crusher blade (#2) mounts in the freezer's ice bucket assembly. It helps break up cubes for the Crushed Ice setting and can restore smooth dispensing when the original blade becomes bent, dull, or broken.
- Mounts inside the ice bucket crusher to slice/crush cubes when Crushed Ice is selected
- Helps maintain consistent ice flow and size through the dispenser
- Wear or damage may lead to no crushed ice, only whole cubes dispensing, jamming, or grinding noises
- Visible bending, dull edges, or a missing blade are common failure signs
What's included: One crusher blade (#2). Install notes:

- Disassemble the crusher housing to access the blades; note the order/orientation of blade #1 and blade #2 before removal
- Wear cut-resistant gloves—edges are sharp
- Reassemble in the same order, tighten fasteners, reinstall the bin, and test the dispenser
