Kenmore / Sears Refrigerator Auger, Helix, Crusher

The Ice Crusher Bucket is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It serves as a container for holding and crushing ice from the icemaker. The bucket houses the crushing mechanism that breaks down ice cubes into smaller pieces, making it convenient for dispensing crushed ice through the refrigerator's door.

Over time, the ice crusher bucket can become worn out or damaged due to regular use, exposure to moisture, or accidental impact.  

Symptoms of a bad ice crusher bucket include:

• The bucket not holding ice properly
• Issues with dispensing crushed ice
• Unusual noises during ice crushing
• Visible cracks or damage to the bucket

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

The Container is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators, specifically designed to offer a dedicated storage solution within the appliance. This container might typically be used for organizing items such as fruits, vegetables, meats, or any other food items that require separate storage to maintain freshness and prevent cross-contamination. 

Causes of these symptoms often stem from overloading the container beyond its capacity, normal wear and tear over time, or damage from cleaning and handling.

Symptoms of a bad Container include:

• Cracks or breaks that compromise the container's ability to hold items securely
• Warping or damage that prevents the container from fitting properly in its designated space
• Difficulty in sliding or maneuvering the container, which could indicate a problem with its design or fit

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and some Kenmore models.

This icemaker fill cup and bearing assembly directs water from the inlet tube into the ice mold and provides the pivot point for the shutoff arm. Replacing a cracked or missing cup helps stop leaks, misdirected fills, and inconsistent ice production.

• Channels incoming water into the ice mold to prevent splashing and overfilling
• Provides the pivot/bearing for the ice level (shutoff) arm
• Helps maintain consistent cube size and reliable icemaker shutoff
• Typical symptoms: water or ice buildup under the icemaker, overfilling or hollow/irregular cubes, or a loose/binding shutoff arm

• Unplug the refrigerator and shut off the water supply before servicing
• Remove the ice bin and detach the icemaker to access the side-mounted cup
• Position the new cup directly under the fill tube; secure with existing hardware and verify the shutoff arm pivots freely in the bearing
• Restore power and water; run a test fill and check for leaks

The Auger Drive Shaft is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This part transfers power from the motor to the ice auger, enabling the movement and dispensing of ice from the ice maker.

This is an ice bin that is used on refrigerator and freezer units. The purpose of this part is to store the ice that has already been made so that it is ready for dispensing. The auger is included with this part, which is the component that drives the ice out of the freezer for dispensing. Over time, the white plastic material that the bin is made of may begin to crack or break due to exposure to extreme temperatures over time. If this is the case, it will need to be replaced. If the auger no longer functions, it could have become damaged and this part will also replace the auger itself. Wear work gloves when replacing this part.This ice bin is compatible with refrigerator and freezer units that have been manufactured by Kenmore Elite, Kenmore Pro, Kenmore, and Frigidaire. It is sold individually. This part is sourced directly from the manufacturer.

The Ice Bucket and Auger Assembly is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. This part stores ice and includes an auger mechanism that helps dispense the ice through the refrigerator's ice dispenser.
