• Replaces damaged or broken containers that cause ice to fall or leak
• Helps keep ice separated from other freezer items for cleaner ice

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid electrical hazards

• Align the replacement container with the door rails or mounting tabs and slide until it seats fully
• Clean with mild soap and water; avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage plastic

• Helps maintain reliable defrost cycle timing by keeping the timer properly aligned.
