Samsung Refrigerator Ice Bucket (Ice Tray) Replacement

Введение

If your ice bucket (aka ice tray, ice bin, or ice tub) is cracked, use this guide to replace it.

The ice bucket stores ice cubes for dispensing. The bucket assembly often includes an auger and a dispenser flap. It does not include the auger motor or dispenser actuator. If your fridge doesn't dispense ice, you may need to defrost this bucket.

This guide will work for with many refrigerator models. The photos in this guide are from a Samsung RF28R7201SG refrigerator. If you have a different model, you may encounter some minor disassembly differences, but the overall repair process will be the same.

Check for cracks or fractures in the ice bucket and auger assembly. Replace the bucket as needed.
Check the gasket around the edge of the bucket. If the gasket's ripped, cracked, rolled or has become too rigid, the bucket won't seal properly and cause condensation to seep in and freeze.
