Customer Questions and Answers for Ice Container Assembly (Ice Bin) by Whirlpool

This ice container assembly stores ice in the freezer and feeds it to the dispenser on demand. Replacing a damaged or worn bin restores smooth, consistent ice dispensing and helps prevent jams and poor delivery. What it does:

• Holds and organizes ice in the freezer for dispensing
• Uses the internal auger to move ice toward the chute when dispensing is activated
• Interfaces with the crusher/cube selection in applicable designs
• Common symptoms of failure: no or intermittent ice dispensing, grinding during dispense, jammed ice, or visible cracks/broken tabs on the bin

• Includes: 1 ice container assembly

• Disconnect power to the refrigerator before servicing
• Remove the old bin and discard any ice; allow any frost buildup to thaw to avoid forcing parts
• Align the auger drive with the coupling and seat the bin fully before closing the door
• After installation, make fresh ice and discard the first batch
