241734001 - Electrolux Refrigerator Ice Bucket

This Electrolux Refrigerator Ice Bucket (241734001) is an essential component of your Electrolux, Frigidaire, Tappan, Gibson, Westinghouse, and Crosley refrigerator's ice-making system. Made by Electrolux, this genuine part ensures a reliable fit and function. Often referred to as the "ice bin" or "ice container," this part is also known as the "ice storage component," which prominently operates by storing and dispensing ice cubes. Located in the freezer compartment, the ice bucket comprises a container with a lid that crucially maintains the ice in a frozen state and prevents it from melting. When you need ice, it can be dispensed either through manual lifting of the lid or via a press-button mechanism, depending on your refrigerator's design. This action releases a mechanism that guides the ice cubes into a dispenser chute for collection. Being directly connected to the refrigerator's ice maker, the ice bucket is a pivotal part of the automated process which involves water being frozen into ice in a tray and then transferred into the bucket, a process regulated by a freezer thermostat for optimal ice production. If you notice your refrigerator struggling to dispense ice, or the ice is melting quicker than usual, it might indicate the ice bucket needs replacement. Before purchasing, customers should confirm their refrigerator's model number to ensure compatibility with the 241734001 Electrolux Refrigerator Ice Bucket.
