Features & Benefits
-
OEM quality fit: Designed by Samsung to match original ice bucket and auger tray specifications in compatible models. Samsung Parts+1
-
Complete bucket and auger assembly: This part addresses both the ice storage bucket and the auger mechanism, which pushes ice out for dispensing—so it’s a comprehensive repair for dispenser issues.
-
Improves ice dispensing performance: If your refrigerator produces ice but it’s not dispensing properly (jammed bucket, auger slipping), this assembly can restore smooth operation.
-
Durable design: Built to withstand the repeated cycling, cold environment and mechanical stress of ice storage and dispensing.
-
Cost-effective repair: Instead of replacing the entire ice maker or freezer liner, replacing this assembly may resolve bucket/dispense issues at lower cost.
Common Symptoms That Indicate Replacement Is Needed
-
Ice cubes are present in the bucket or freezer but nothing dispenses when you engage the lever/button.
-
You hear the auger motor engaging, but the ice bucket doesn’t turn or ice jams in the bucket—suggesting the bucket/auger assembly is worn or damaged.
-
The bucket is cracked, chipped, or missing parts, causing irregular ice storage or jamming.
-
The dispenser chute has ice backing up because the bucket isn’t feeding ice properly.
-
The part number list for this bucket/auger (DA97-11117A) matches your model, and the current bucket shows wear or damage.

Compatibility Notes
-
Confirm your refrigerator’s model number, existing part number, and inspect the current bucket’s mounting pin layout, auger drive interface and freezer liner compatibility.
-
If the auger motor or dispenser mechanism is faulty, replacing the bucket/auger assembly alone may not fix the issue—your maintenance technician should inspect the full dispense system (motor, switch, chute, bucket).
-
Installation typically involves removing the old bucket and auger assembly, sliding out the old bucket, connecting the new bucket/auger assembly to the drive motor or mounting interface, and securing it in place per model instructions.
-
While replacing this assembly will improve ice storage and dispensing functionality, it does not address ice maker production failure, water supply issues, or sealed-system cooling faults—those require separate diagnosis.
