240563638 - Electrolux Refrigerator Ice Chute

This Electrolux Refrigerator Ice Chute (240563638) is a genuine part designed for Electrolux and Frigidaire refrigerator models. The Ice Chute plays a pivotal role in your refrigerator's ice dispensing system, enabling the smooth transition of ice cubes or crushed ice from the freezer compartment to your glass. This part begins its operation when you choose your preferred ice type on the refrigerator's control panel, sending a signal to initiate the ice-making process. The ice maker's motor activates, rotating an auger to propel the ice towards the chute. As the ice proceeds, it moves through a door that opens and closes to maintain the freezer's temperature, finally arriving at the dispenser for easy access. Additionally, it includes a sensor to detect low ice levels, ensuring constant ice production. Symptoms of a malfunctioning Ice Chute include ice jams, an inability to dispense ice, or an apparent increase in freezer compartment temperature. Before you decide to replace your Ice Chute, make sure you're experiencing one of these issues and verify your refrigerator model number to ensure compatibility.
