Replace a cracked, broken or missing ice cube bin in your Samsung refrigerator with the genuine OEM part DA61-05300A. This ice cube container (sometimes called “Ice Cube Case”) is used in select Samsung French-door, side-by-side and bottom-freezer models and provides a sturdy, correctly fitted receptacle for ice cubes produced by your ice maker. Because ice bin dimensions, mounting brackets and liner configurations vary between models and production years, please check with your maintenance technician to confirm that DA61-05300A is the correct part for your appliance’s full model number before ordering. eBay+3applianceparts.lowes.com+3Lifetime Appliance Parts+3
Features & Benefits
-
OEM specified: Manufactured by Samsung to meet factory specifications for fit, strength and compatibility. amazon.com+2Samsung Parts USA+2
-
Durable plastic construction: Designed to withstand repeated removal of ice, reinsertion, and freezer conditions without cracking or warping.
-
Restores proper ice storage: Ensures your ice maker’s output is collected appropriately, maintains a clean and stable bin rather than letting ice spill or accumulate in unsupported areas.
-
Cost-effective repair: Replacing just the bin is far less expensive than replacing the entire ice maker assembly or the freezer door liner when the failure is simply a cracked or missing ice bucket.
-
Easy installation: With compatibility verified and technician approval, installation is typically straightforward: remove the old bin, check mounting area, slide in new bin and ensure proper alignment.
Common Symptoms That Indicate Replacement
-
The ice bucket is cracked, broken or has one side collapsed, causing ice to spill out or freeze in odd shapes.
-
Ice cubes accumulate in the freezer space instead of in the bin, or the ice maker seems to be producing but the bin doesn’t collect items correctly.
-
The bin cannot be removed or reinstalled smoothly, or it sits crooked due to broken mounting tabs or supports.
-
You hear rattling or chattering ice inside the freezer compartment indicating the bin may be loose or mis-fitted.
If you observe any of these symptoms, have your maintenance technician verify that the ice bin is the correct component needing replacement — and confirm DA61-05300A is the correct bin for your full model number before ordering.

Compatibility Notes
-
Matching the entire model number of your refrigerator (including suffix) is critical. Two units may look identical but have different ice bin widths or mounting tab positions, and the wrong part may not fit properly.
-
Replacing the ice bin will restore its physical capacity and fit—but if the ice maker itself, the freezer liner, or the mounting bracket is broken or mis-aligned, you may still observe ice production or collection issues. Technician inspection is recommended.
-
Installation instructions: Unplug the refrigerator or turn off power, remove any ice or items interfering with bin removal, slide out the old bin, clean debris, align new bin (DA61-05300A) into the mounting groove or tabs, slide it back in fully, restore power and monitor performance.
-
After installation, monitor for a few ice cycles to ensure cubes are being collected correctly and the bin is seated securely without shifting.
