This replacement ice chute directs ice from the bucket to the dispenser opening, helping prevent jams and stray cubes. If the original chute is cracked, warped, or obstructed, replacing it restores smooth, consistent ice dispensing. What it does:
- Guides cubed or crushed ice through the dispenser opening into your glass
- Helps prevent ice from scattering or missing the glass
- Reduces ice jams and clogs caused by damaged or misaligned parts
- Common symptoms: ice not dispensing properly, ice spilling at the dispenser, frost or ice buildup in the chute area, broken plastic pieces
What's included:
Install notes:
- Unplug the refrigerator and turn off the water supply before servicing
- Access the dispenser area per your model's service instructions
- Note orientation; transfer any gaskets/seals and reuse original hardware if applicable
- Ensure the chute seats and aligns correctly with the ice door before reassembly and test
