WR17X12090 - GE Refrigerator Ice Bucket

The Ice Bucket (WR17X12090) is a genuine original equipment manufacturer (OEM) part designed by GE for use in their refrigerators. The ice bucket, sometimes referred to as an ice bin or ice tray, is a component of the refrigerator's ice-making system.

The ice bucket's primary function is to store and dispense ice cubes. It is typically located in the freezer compartment, connected to the refrigerator's ice maker. The ice maker produces ice by freezing water in a tray and then transferring the ice cubes into the ice bucket. The bucket keeps the ice cubes frozen, preventing them from melting. When you want ice, you can either lift the lid manually or press a button to release the ice cubes into a dispenser chute for collection.

Symptoms indicating the need for a new ice bucket might include difficulty dispensing ice, a broken or damaged bucket, or ice cubes melting and refreezing into a solid block. Before deciding to replace this part, please ensure that the freezer temperature is correctly set, as a too high temperature may cause similar symptoms.

Please verify your refrigerator's model number to ensure this part is compatible before purchasing.
