Samsung Refrigerator Ice Bucket & Auger Assembly (Part # DA97-14474C)

Restore reliable ice storage and smooth door dispensing to your kitchen with this Genuine OEM Samsung Refrigerator Ice Bucket Tray Container. This heavy-duty storage assembly (Part # DA97-14474C) slides directly into your refrigerator’s specialized ice room compartment. It functions as both the collection bin for freshly dropped ice cubes and the mechanical delivery system that channels ice to your door chute.

Manufactured directly by Samsung, this complete factory assembly is built with a high-impact, insulated plastic housing designed to maintain freezing temperatures and keep your ice cubes from melting into a solid block. It comes completely pre-assembled with the internal metal vortex auger screw, the front crushing/dispensing blades, the drive helix coupling, and the front clear plastic trim bezel.

If your current ice bin is cracked and leaking water into the freezer, has a broken internal auger helix, or if ice frequently jams and refuses to exit the front chute, swapping out the entire assembly immediately fixes the mechanical failure.

Quick Info:

• Compatibility: Precision engineered exclusively for Samsung French-door and counter-depth refrigerators featuring the slim, door-mounted or upper-ceiling Ice Master cooling compartments.

• Fixes Common Issues: Resolves cracked or leaking ice storage bins, fractured internal plastic auger gears, ice dispensing jams, and front door ice dispensers that hum but fail to drop cubes.

• All-In-One Assembly: Includes the insulated storage tray, heavy-duty center auger screw, front crushing blades, actuator metal arm, and rear drive coupler.

• Difficulty: Novice. Tool-free installation. Simply slide the old bucket out and click the new genuine assembly into its tracks.

Pro Tip: This part is a frequent victim of “frost bridging”—an issue where small amounts of warm, humid kitchen air leak past a worn door seal and cause the ice cubes inside the bucket to melt slightly and freeze together into a giant solid mass. If you try to force the door dispenser to spin while the cubes are frozen into a solid block, the immense torque can fracture the plastic auger helix inside the bin or crack the outer housing. If you notice your ice cubes turning into a singular frozen mass, remove the bucket, dump the old ice, wash it with warm water, dry it completely with a towel, and slide it back in.

Installation Guidelines:

1. Open the Ice Compartment: Open the left-side refrigerator door (or pull down the internal ice room latch) to fully expose the front face of the ice bucket.

2. Remove the Old Bucket: Grip the integrated handle base at the bottom of the old bin, lift upward slightly to unhook the rear drive alignment pins, and pull the entire long assembly straight out towards you.

3. Align the Rear Coupler: Before sliding the new bucket in, look at the white plastic drive wheel on the back of the tray. Turn it slightly by hand if necessary so it mirrors the angle of the metal drive fork protruding from the auger motor inside the wall.

4. Slide and Click: Push the new genuine assembly firmly into the tracks until it bottoms out and snaps into place. Test the front door dispenser with an empty glass to verify the internal auger turns freely.

Are you replacing this assembly today because the plastic housing cracked and is leaking, or has the internal metal auger broken away from its rear plastic gears?
