Lifetime Appliance Parts Upgraded DA97-14474C Ice Container Bucket Tray Assembly Compatible with Samsung Refrigerator - DA97-14474A

Great replacement fits better than the original. No issues at all

It was a perfect match to my samsung refrigerator, very happy with it

Replaced our cracked ice bucket in a Samsung French door refrigerator, ice apparently became soft and refroze expanding and cracking the ice bucket. In researching ice maker issues found a you tube article on warm air infiltrating the ice maker compartment ; we didn't have any apparent leakage around the unit itself but was intrigued by leakage via the ice flapper. A telltale sign was mineral buildup around the tip of the water dispenser tube. getting access to the flapper was challenging but doable, watched several video's which made removing the bezel look easy, not mine; ended up using a very thin putty knife on lower right corner of bezel to pop the first catch then followed it around, from there gaining access to the flapper was straight forward, cleaned flapper and plastic housing thoroughly of mineral buildup. After 3 weeks ice maker appears to be working perfect! Notes: 1. Installing the bucket for the first time took a little more effort to latch, may have been a stiffer gasket material 2. Upon initial install with just a couple ice cubes in bucket it sounded quite noisy as others have alluded too, however once full of ice sounds the same as the original 3. Now when adding ice to a glass and filling with water the cubes freeze into a solid mass indicating to me they are much colder then we experienced earlier. Bottom line I believe this was a good purchase; will need to clean flapper every couple years to prevent reoccurrence. PS; we change the water filter whenever indicated so that is not an issue.

It was simple and easy to install without the need of additional tools or efforts.

Doesn’t lock in place, seems very cheap. Couldn’t use it and now they want me to pay for return. Don’t buy it, stick to oem parts.
