This ice dispenser chute extension mounts beneath the freezer-door dispenser opening to guide cubes or crushed ice straight into your glass. Replacing a cracked or missing extension improves dispensing accuracy and helps keep the dispenser area cleaner. What it does:

  • Channels ice from the dispenser chute into your cup or bottle
  • Helps reduce stray ice pieces and splashing around the dispenser area
  • Restores proper reach/clearance for taller containers
  • Typical symptoms: missing piece, cracked/broken tabs, ice spilling past the glass
What's included:
  • One black chute extension
Install notes:
  • Disconnect power to the refrigerator before servicing
  • Open the freezer door; align the extension's tabs with the slots under the ice chute and snap firmly into place
  • Do not force the part to avoid damaging tabs or the door liner
  • Dispense a small amount of ice to confirm a secure fit and proper alignment
