Refrigerator Ice Bin Cracked, Broken, or Missing? Ice Bin W11574764 – Restore Full Ice Storage Fast
If your refrigerator’s ice bin is cracked, shattered, warped, or missing entirely, ice will spill into the freezer, the auger won’t dispense properly, and the ice maker may stop cycling correctly. In most Whirlpool, KitchenAid, and Maytag French door and side-by-side refrigerators, the ice bin sits beneath the ice maker assembly and holds the ice supply until it’s dispensed on demand. When the bin cracks — often from thermal stress, a hard drop, or forcing a jammed auger — ice escapes into the freezer compartment, the dispenser jams, and the ice maker may overfill or stop producing. ⚡ Ice bin cracks are one of the most common non-mechanical refrigerator repairs on Whirlpool-platform French door models. Part W11574764 is the genuine OEM replacement ice bin that restores full ice storage capacity and proper auger engagement — direct fit, no modification required, supersedes W10906414 and W11175771.
❓ Is This the Right Part?
This is the correct fix if ALL of the following are true:
- ✔ Refrigerator powers on and ice maker is producing ice normally
- ✔ Ice maker mechanism, auger motor, and dispenser electronics are functioning
- ✔ Water supply and inlet valve are confirmed working
- ✔ ONLY problem is a cracked, broken, warped, or missing ice storage bin

🔧 Common Symptoms
- Ice spilling or accumulating loose in the freezer compartment
- Ice dispenser jamming or dispensing inconsistently — auger not engaging the bin properly
- Visible crack, split, or chip on the ice bin body or rim
- Ice bin warped or no longer seating correctly under the ice maker
- Ice maker overfilling — bin not triggering the shutoff arm correctly
- Odour or taste issues from ice — cracked bin absorbing freezer odours
✔ If these symptoms match, the ice bin is the most likely failed component in the system.
✔ In most cases, replacing the ice bin restores full ice storage and dispensing immediately.

If the ice bin cracked due to a jammed auger, inspect the auger motor and auger blade before reinstalling. A seized or damaged auger will crack the new bin the same way within weeks. Replacing the bin without addressing the root cause — a failing auger motor or a jammed blade — is the most common reason customers need a second bin within months.
⚙️ Installation
Skill Level: EASY — 5–10 minutes. No tools required. Open the freezer drawer or door and remove the existing ice bin by lifting and pulling forward — it slides or lifts out of the ice maker assembly. Discard the cracked bin. Slide the new W11574764 into position, ensuring it seats fully under the ice maker and the auger engages correctly. Restore power and run a test dispense cycle to confirm proper operation.

💡 Pro Tip
The most common cause of ice bin cracking on Whirlpool-platform refrigerators is an auger blade that’s jammed, cracked, or deformed — it torques against the bin wall under motor load until the plastic splits. Before installing the new bin, remove the auger blade from the old bin and inspect it for cracks or deformation. If it’s damaged, replace the blade at the same time. A $30 auger blade replacement now prevents a repeat $200+ bin replacement in 6 months.
