This replacement ice bucket housing encloses and supports the freezer's ice storage bin at the dispenser. A damaged housing can cause bin wobble or misalignment—replacing it restores a secure fit, smoother dispensing, and helps reduce stray ice and frost.
- Holds and aligns the ice bin for proper engagement with the dispenser mechanism
- Guides ice toward the chute and helps contain cubes and shavings
- Helps limit warm-air leaks around the bin to reduce frost and clumping
- Typical symptoms: bin won't seat or is wobbly, poor or no ice dispensing, ice spilling inside freezer, visible cracks in the enclosure
What's included: 1 ice bucket housing (enclosure) Install notes:
- Unplug the refrigerator and shut off water before servicing
- Remove the ice bin; take out any screws or clips securing the housing
- Transfer any reusable brackets or screws from the old housing to the new one
- Reinstall the housing level and secure; seat the bin fully, restore power, and test dispensing
Do-It-Yourself Stories from Customers like You
The ice auger broke off and fractured the back panel of the ice bin Lawrence P. • Mount Laurel , NJ • September 09, 2014
The removal of the ice bin and auger motor was easy but removing the auger from the shaft was another story. The auger was frozen to the shaft even after it sat out overnight. I carefully applied heat with a propane torch, directly on joint of the auger and the tip of the shaft, followed by a few drops of cold water. Once the shaft and auger cooled the auger separated easily. Putting the components back together was simple taking about ten more minutes.
