DA97-17285B - Samsung Refrigerator Ice Bucket

The Ice Bucket (DA97-17285B) is an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) part produced by Samsung for its refrigerator models. Compatible with several Samsung refrigerators, this part is integral to the appliance's ice-making process. The Ice Bucket, sometimes referred to as the ice bin or ice container, is located in the freezer compartment where it collects and stores ice produced by the ice maker.

The Ice Bucket works by receiving ice cubes from the ice maker and storing them until needed. It features a lid to prevent the ice from melting and a mechanism for dispensing ice into a chute when the user requires it. The ice production process is automated and regulated by a thermostat to ensure optimal ice cube formation. Please note that the exact location and function may vary depending on your specific refrigerator model.

If your refrigerator's ice bucket is broken or failing, you might notice a lack of ice production, unwanted water leakage in the freezer, or difficulty dispensing ice. In such cases, replacing the Ice Bucket could be a necessary step to restore the ice-making functionality of your appliance.

Before purchasing, it's crucial for you to verify the compatibility of this part with your refrigerator's model number. This ensures you're getting the right part for your specific appliance.
