A refrigeration appliance includes an ice maker for freezing water into ice pieces. The ice maker () includes an ice maker housing (), an ice making unit () for making the ice pieces, a removeable ice bin () receiving the ice pieces, and an ice dispenser having a rotatable auger () that drives the ice pieces out of the removable ice bin to a bin aperture () at the ice bin via a driving force applied in a first direction. A latching assembly is provided at least partially at each of the removeable ice bin and the ice maker housing, and is configured to apply a resisting force to the ice bin at least along a second direction opposite the first direction. The removable ice bin is selectively removable from the ice maker housing by the user applying a removal force greater than the driving force to the ice bin in the first direction.
