I need to replace broken ice maker bucket and door i also replaced top drawer

I removed broken ice bucket by unscrewing 8 flathead screws and replaced it with the new one I purchased. Ice door slipped right in. Drawer was also easy to replace.

Our ice container was damaged because a beer fell into the ice container when the ice maker was activated the screw shaped device in the container pushed the can through the container

I put the refrigerator model number into your website and I easily located an image of the same ice container. It was simple for me to order the part and surprisingly, it arrived on the next day even though I selected regular shipping. The youtube videos offered on your site were of great help in getting the container installed. Thanks and keep up the good work! My wife will not put a beer in the freezer again...
