Ice compartment Stoves fridge freezer ST980 SXS

[caransom]

I have an otherwise marvellously-working American style Stoves fridge freezer but am unable to use the water dispenser without it leaking. The issue is a piece of plastic has broken off the ice compartment (unable to glue back) meaning that the ice does not tip out into the compartment leading to build up and hence leakage of water. Have phoned Stoves plus local engineers but appliance is now obsolete so I think my only option is to try to find a whole new ice compartment (otherwise it means replacing whole item which is otherwise in good working order for £1000+ 🙁 ). Any help or suggestions as to how to fix most welcome. Thank you.

Could you tell us the serial number and industrial code, could well begin 44444????? Most parts are tracked down using the serial number / industrial code references rather than the model number so it can be checked. Take a picture of the machine`s label and repost – should be inside the machine on one of the side walls somewhere.

All I have found is: you go to partmaster spares, type in the search box 444448187, hit the search, and you get it coming up as a LEC brand. Scroll down through the pages and have a look at the pictures (and in some cases the horrific costs) when you get to page 5 or 6 LEC changes to Stoves of which hardly anything is listed. So it looks like your Stoves is really a LEC badged up as a snooty Stoves product which would not surprise me! The whole point is if you recognise what you are after to cure your problem it`ll tell you the price, how long it will take to get that part which you take with a big pinch of salt and THEIR part number and in this case the old 006…. number which is the start of a Stoves number (good fun is this isn`t it?) so say the part you see on page 3 “ice cushing box” at £176.79 might be what you are after and it is apparently still available with a 6 week wait If you type in search the part number 0060818598 it comes up as a stoves ice crusher obsolete BUT also comes up as an alternative part under the LEC brand.
There you go have a look .
