Whirlpool Ice Storage Bin (WPW10347093)

The Whirlpool Ice Storage Bin holds and stores ice cubes made by the refrigerator’s ice maker. It sits in the freezer door or freezer compartment and positions the ice so the dispenser auger or chute can move it out when you request ice.

Common causes of failure include cracks from impact, wear at the mounting points, warping from temperature swings, or broken interfaces where the bin meets the auger drive, chute, or door. Damage can also occur if ice clumps and forces the bin or its coupling when the dispenser runs.

These symptoms can help you decide if replacing this ice storage bin will fix the problem:

Ice cubes spill or fall into the freezer because the bin no longer seats or latches correctly

The bin is cracked, split, or visibly warped

The ice bin will not slide in fully, sits crooked, or pops out of position

Ice does not dispense even though the ice maker produces ice, and the bin connection to the dispenser drive looks worn or damaged

Grinding, clicking, or intermittent dispensing linked to a loose or damaged bin fit

Ice builds up in the bin area due to gaps from a damaged bin allowing warm air in
