Icemaker replacement bucket

[Linda Schneider]

Our 1979 Newell came equiped with an Instamatic Icemaker from La Salle Deitch Company of Elkhark, Indiana. The icemaker works quite well but our ice bucket is falling apart. The company seems to no longer exist and I am wondering if you have any suggestions for finding a new Ice Bucket - part number 524 on the original users manual?

Thanks for any suggestions

Icemaker replacement bucket - As we recall, the Instamatic icemaker line was acquired by U-Line some 20 years ago. The U-Line ice makers we used through the 80s and into the early 90s appear to be identical to the Instamatic units.

Some parts for older model Instamatic icemakers are still available from U-Line. We suggest you call U-Line customer service at 414-354-0300. It would be helpful if you had the model number of the ice maker, as well as the dimensions of the ice bucket. The part number for the bucket you referenced is obsolete.
