Abstract
A refrigerator includes a refrigerator housing and at least one compartment displaced within the refrigeration housing. There is a door for providing access to one or more of the at least one compartments. There is an ice storage bucket placed beneath an ice making unit for collecting and storing ice. The ice storage bucket includes an open top end and an opposite bottom surface. A first and a second cylindrical protrusion are positioned proximate the bottom surface of the ice storage bucket. There is a mounting plate beneath the ice storage bucket, the mounting plate operatively connected to the door. The first and the second cylindrical protrusions assist in fixation and rotation of the ice storage bucket relative to the mounting plate.
