Refrigerator Not Making Ice? LG Ice Bucket Assembly AKC73249303 – Fix Ice Production Fast
If your LG refrigerator has stopped producing or storing ice, a cracked or failed ice bucket assembly is the most common cause. In most LG French door and side-by-side refrigerators, the ice bucket assembly holds and dispenses ice from the in-door ice maker. When it fails, ice jams, leaks, or stops dispensing entirely — leaving you without ice even when the ice maker itself is running. ⚡ Common failure point in LG-built refrigerators with in-door ice systems. Part AKC73249303 is the genuine OEM replacement that restores full ice storage and dispensing function.
❓ Is This the Right Part?
This is the correct fix if ALL of the following are true:
- ✔ Refrigerator powers on and cools normally
- ✔ Ice maker motor and water inlet valve are functioning
- ✔ Water supply and filter confirmed OK
- ✔ ONLY problem is ice not dispensing, jamming, or bucket cracked/broken

- Cracked, broken, or warped ice bucket
- Ice falls loose into freezer compartment
✔ If these symptoms match, this is the most likely failed component in the system.
✔ In most cases, replacing this ice bucket assembly restores normal ice dispensing immediately.

⚙️ Installation

💡 Pro Tip
Before replacing the bucket, confirm the ice maker is actually producing ice cubes. If the tray is empty and the ice maker isn't cycling, the issue may be upstream — water inlet valve, ice maker assembly, or control board — and the bucket replacement alone won't resolve it.
