How to Troubleshoot & Replace Samsung AP6034185 / DA97-14474C Refrigerator Ice Bucket Assembly

I went online and found the part then decided to call to verify. I spoke to Lisa W who was fabulous. She went through everything with me, sent out the parts that day and we received them the next day...our freezer ice container is better than it ever has been. Our fridge is from 2013 and we have had problems with the ice maker and bucket all these years...the adaption made on the bucket seems to have fixed the problem. Appliance parts pros were fabulous with their service and delivery. Many thanks! 

Bought new ice bucket and ice chute for door. 

Replace with a new ice bucket took 25 seconds. Reset on Samsung refrigerator did not restore ice making, so helpful service messaging got it working. 

Originally I thought the problem was airflow since the refrigerator was packed with Thanksgiving leftovers. After defrosting the evaporator and air passages the problem came back (found some great how-to videos on Youtube). So, I went to my local parts house Saturday morning to buy a new temp sensor and the ice tray that had cracked over the years. They did not have either in stock. the temp sensor would arrive Tuesday but the ice tray would take 2-6 weeks. After I got home I logged onto https://www.appliancepartspros.com/ to find the parts significantly cheaper and they would both arrive at my house on Tuesday. Tuesday came and I had both parts installed before the local parts house called me to say the temp sensor was in and I could come to pick it up. It is now Friday and I am happy to say the refrigerator is working perfect and the local parts house can put their part in stock.
