242100106 - Electrolux Refrigerator Ice Bucket

This Electrolux Refrigerator Ice Bucket (242100106) is a genuine part designed for Electrolux and Frigidaire refrigerators. It plays a crucial role in storing and dispensing ice cubes, making it essential for ensuring you always have a steady supply of ice for your beverages or food preservation needs. The ice bucket is situated typically in the freezer compartment, equipped with a container and a lid to keep the ice cubes well-preserved and frozen. Depending on the refrigerator's model, ice can be dispensed by either manually lifting the lid or using a dispenser button, which activates a mechanism allowing the ice to fall into a dispenser chute for easy collection. Furthermore, this ice bucket comes integrated with an auger that rotates to efficiently move the ice into the dispenser chute, ensuring smooth ice dispensation. It connects to the refrigerator's ice maker, which automates the ice production by freezing water in a tray and depositing it directly into the ice bucket, regulated by a freezer's thermostat to maintain optimal ice production. Symptoms that may indicate the need for a new ice bucket include difficulty dispensing ice, the ice melting too quickly, or damage to the container or its components. Before purchasing, please verify the compatibility of this part with your refrigerator model number to ensure the proper fit and functionality.
