Customer Questions and Answers for Ice Bucket And Auger Assembly by Whirlpool

The Ice Bucket and Auger Assembly is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It includes both the ice storage bucket located in the freezer as well as the internal auger component. The auger works to periodically eject ice from the icemaker out into the conveniently accessible bucket area.

Symptoms of a bad ice bucket and auger assembly include:

• Ice backing up and not dispensing properly from the icemaker
• Ice accumulating inside the refrigerator walls
• The bucket not filling completely or ice spilling out
• Loud grinding or clicking noises coming from inside the wall
