It's a through the door water/ice dispenser with the bucket inside.
The bucket when you look inside it has the metal screw which
where it meets with the front of the removable box abuts a metal
plate which is sort of riveted and bent around the plastic container.
That piece (the flat piece in the front inside of the bucked)
rusted (waiting for wife to email me a pic, she's writing
to Frigidaire and enclosing the picture). I'll post the model #
tonight when I'm home. Hopefully you guys are right and
they've fixed the issue, I'm just surprised (I suppose I shouldn't
be) that my wife was given such a hard time over this
'merely cosmetic' issue. Normally I don't like these yearly
additional warranties, but we're getting our money's worth
with this water dispenser/ice maker. I think we pay $80 a
year and pretty much every year they're at the house
replacing $200+ worth of parts.

In five years you could have paid for a new base model fridge. You are the
exception getting hte payback.

True if we had a base model fridge, but this is a $1400 fridge. Like I
said, those
things are typically a rip off and I avoid them at all costs. In this ONE
instance
it happens to have worked out.

Nice pic!! :)

Typical, have seen a few do this on many makes :(

-Likely- the new one will have some kind of a coating on it.

Just as a quick followup to this old thread, we did finally
get the replacement and it was identical to the old one. No
coating. Guess we'll be doing this again in a few years, what
a silly design.
