Complete assembly: Contains the ice bucket, auger screw, and housing assembly, making it a full-unit replacement rather than piecemeal fix. Samsung Parts USA
-
Large capacity: Designed to hold a substantial quantity of ice (up to ~10 lbs) before dispensing, helping reduce downtime and minor blockages. Samsung Parts
-
Improves dispenser reliability: Replacing this assembly can resolve issues such as ice jamming, non-dispensing, or inconsistent cube delivery.
-
Cost-effective repair: Fixing the bucket/auger assembly is often much less expensive than replacing the entire ice maker or dispenser system.
Common Symptoms That Indicate Replacement
-
Ice cubes build up in the bin but do not dispense when the control is activated (or come out slowly).
-
Ice dispenser chute is blocked or cubes are stuck in the housing or tunnel, causing overflow or spillage.
-
The bucket shows visible cracks, warping, or the auger screw is stripped, bent or worn.
-
Ice storage appears reduced even though the ice maker is making cubes, suggesting the bucket is failing to collect or feed properly.
If you observe any of these symptoms, ask your technician to verify that the ice bucket & auger assembly (DA97-05239E) is the correct failing component and that other components (ice maker, motor, dispenser switch) are functioning properly.
Compatibility / Partial Model Notes
-
The part number DA97-05239E is listed by Samsung as “Assembly Tray-Ice Bucket / AW-PJT” (Ice Container Assembly) for refrigerators. applianceparts.lowes.com+1
-
Example compatible models (partial list) include: models in the RF- and RFG- series such as RF267AARS, RFG298AARS, etc. iFixit+1
-
Because door liner dimensions, dispenser path geometry, ice-bucket mounting tabs and auger screw sizes vary by model year and region, it is essential to confirm your appliance’s full model number (including suffix letters like “XAA”, “KR”, etc) and compare the old assembly’s shape and mounting before ordering.
Cross Reference
-
Alternate or compatible part numbers: AP4403613, 1731714, DA97-05239A, PS4173164. Lifetime Appliance Parts
-
Some third-party “compatible” assemblies exist but for best reliability the OEM Samsung part is recommended.
Compatibility Notes
-
Matching the entire appliance model number is critical—even if the existing bucket looks identical—differences in mounting tab spacing, auger screw diameter, or door liner depth may result in poor fit or failure.
-
Replacing the bucket & auger will restore storage and feeding of ice only if the ice maker motor, control board, water supply and dispenser mechanism are in good condition. If these are failing, symptoms may persist.
-
Installation tip: Disconnect power and water supply. Remove the old ice bucket/auger assembly (typically by unscrewing and sliding out), remove the auger motor plug, install the new DA97-05239E unit, reconnect the wiring and water/ice chute linkage, then test at least one full cycle of ice production and dispensing to confirm proper operation.
