Frigidaire 242240101 Refrigerator Ice Bucket Shield

Product Description

The FRIGIDAIRE 242240101 is a genuine OEM ice bucket shield designed for use in Frigidaire and Kenmore refrigerators equipped with an ice dispenser assembly. This component mounts directly to the ice bucket structure at the designated attachment points, forming a protective barrier around the front of the ice storage container while keeping the dispensing area properly enclosed. It maintains the correct alignment of the dispenser opening to allow ice to move freely through the system without obstruction. This is a direct OEM replacement part, meaning it matches the original factory specifications for fit and function. Installation is typically handled by appliance repair technicians.

This shield is part of the ice storage and dispensing assembly found in refrigerators with built-in ice dispensers. It covers the surrounding bucket base, protects interior components from debris or displacement, and keeps the dispensing path organized during normal refrigerator operation. It is suited for residential refrigerator repair applications where the original shield has become cracked, broken, or missing, causing ice to spill or the dispenser area to operate improperly.
