1. A refrigerator comprising:
an ice maker configured to produce ice;
an ice bucket positionable under the ice maker and including a first position guide and a third position guide; and
a pad mountable to the ice bucket and including a base, an inclined member, a second position guide, and a fourth position guide,
wherein
one of the third position guide and the fourth position guide includes an interference groove recessed inward, and the other one of the third position guide and the fourth position guide includes an interference protrusion, and
the pad and the ice bucket are configured so that,
when the pad is being normally 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 and the interference groove engages with the interference protrusion to guide the base so that, when the pad is normally 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 abnormally mounted to the ice bucket, the base is in the rear portion of the ice bucket, the inclined member is in the front portion of the ice bucket, and the interference protrusion supports, and thereby lifts, a bottom of the pad, and,
when the pad is normally mounted to the ice bucket and the ice bucket is positioned under the ice maker, the ice produced by the ice maker falls into the ice bucket and is transferred by the inclined member to the base.
