Is This the Right Part?

Common Symptoms

• Ice bin is cracked, broken, or leaking melted ice.
• Ice clumps or jams in the bin or dispenser chute.
• Ice dispenser operates intermittently after the bin has been removed and reinstalled.
• Ice maker or dispenser operation is affected when the bin is not firmly seated.
• Ice cannot be delivered because the bin or delivery area contains compacted ice.

Check Before Replacing

• Visually inspect the bin for cracks, broken tabs, deformation, or signs of leakage.
• Remove and reinstall the bin according to the refrigerator owner’s manual, confirming that it is fully seated.
• Check for clumped or compacted ice in the bin and delivery chute; loosen clumps only with a plastic utensil, never a sharp object.
• Empty, hand-wash, rinse, and thoroughly dry the bin before reinstalling it if ice shavings or residue are present.
• Confirm that no objects other than the produced ice and supplied scoop are obstructing the bin or any applicable ice-level sensing area.
