Abstract
A refrigerator including an ice maker; an ice bucket including a first position guide; and a pad mountable to the ice bucket and including a base, an inclined member, and a second position guide. When the pad is being mounted to the ice bucket, the second position guide couples with the first position guide to guide positioning of the pad in the ice bucket so that, when the pad is mounted to the ice bucket, the base is in a front portion of the ice bucket and the inclined member is in a rear portion of the ice bucket and is inclined to the base. When the pad is mounted to the ice bucket and the ice bucket is positioned under the ice maker, ice produced by the ice maker falls into the ice bucket and is transferred by the inclined member to the base.
