Replace Ice Maker Install Samsung Ice Maker Part # DA97-11092B

[@RayHerrera-r5n]

Install went well, after plugging in power cord & pressed reset button didn’t get the chime. Thankfully started to make ice gradually. Thank you very much for this video, I’m sure it saved us a couple hundred dollars from a appliance repair technician. 👍🏻

[@AmericanPatriotPrinting]

I know this video is from 2014, but I had to comment a BIG thank you. I was having issues due to not changing our fridge water filter regularly and the ice maker froze up with a big block of ice, preventing the ice release "fingers" from cycling. I removed the ice maker as per your instructions, rinsed all of the ice out and have it a good cleaning, let it thoroughly dry and reinstalled in reverse order and viola, everything is working as it should. All after installing a new filter, of course.

[@CAREERMAN70]

I was about to do this until I saw another video where the guy said it could just be the ends of the teeth assembly could be frozen in place. He showed himself using a hair dryer to thaw it. I thought it couldn't be that simple. It was! It works, but I don't expect it to last. I will keep this video for when it eventually fails. Thanks!

[@Marc_B.]

Thanks that was very helpful. Hey all! I had icycles, and my ice maker was not working. I did a bunch of research, and most sources said my ice maker needed replacement. However, it was something else that I never read, but figured out myself. The small metal pipe nub where the water runs out and falls into the tray had a small burr on the inside edge from the manufacture process. It was keeping a bit of water on the nub, and freezing. Little by little it would build up, and change how the water poured out. Eventually, the water would want to flow behind the tube. So, I filed the edges smooth, and the ice maker is working excellent with no dripping or cycles! Whoo, hoo -- free, and didn't waste $120 on a new maker! I also took all ice maker parts out for the day to de-ice, and dry.

[@mskirk59]

Very helpful video. Note that part no. DA97-11092A/B has a 12 pin socket. Some models have a 10 pin socket in which case you need to order part no. IMC 702

[@ASquaredG]

Your video inspired me to get the part and install it myself. Samsung wanted to charge over $500 to repair it. I installed it last Friday, and the ice maker has been working ever since. Thanks for creating this video!

[@noeljohnson5500]

Thanks for the video. Just changed out my Icemaker following your video. Took us 2 minutes to do a 5 min job, mainly because we are just slow in out old age. took longer to roll the fridge out across the tile floor and then back in.

[@macnarag6184]

Just followed your video to change my ice maker. I am so appreciative, it was just what I needed. I better get ice soon, we feel lost without it! I did mount the new ice maker first than screwed the entire unit back onto the wall.

[@robertcooney3990]

Thanks for the video. I replaced my ice maker this morning in about 5 minutes and saved me a lot of money. Freezer temperature never got above zero. The one problem that I had was getting the cover off. I found ice build up on one side. The cover was actually frozen on the back with a small sheet of ice that eventually melted enough to allow me to pull the cover free. Hope this helps someone else with a hard to remove cover that may have the same issue.

[@JRoach616]

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for posing this! We have the same exact fridge and our ice maker went up a few months back. I have been dragging my feet to call a repairman out because I just couldn't bring myself to pay $400 just for ice! Now I can save myself 3/4 of that repair fee and attempt to do it myself. Again, thank you!

[@sheilastabile7634]

Thanks again for this video. My new ice maker finally arrived and it's working just fine. My fridge has stainless screws so the magnetic screwdriver suggested was NA. Here's something else I'd like to share. While the old ice maker was out of the fridge, we had a power failure. When it was restored the control panel digital display showed a pair of 88 88's and none of the touch pads would respond ( Lighting, Ice Off, Ice Type, etc.) The 88 88 display is shown in the user manual but not described, However, the Water touch pad did work. I assumed it had a direct connection to the inlet valve. The fridge and freezer also continued to function, thank god. Once the new ice maker was installed and the fridge turned back on the control panel digital display returned to normal operation. Many thanks for this video. Lenny

[@silverhairlife]

Thanks for your comment and also for sharing your finding that occurred during your power failure. Glad to hear everything is working now.

[@Bluexkaynet]

Got an update for you. Installed the ice maker today. Following your video made it so easy to complete this project. No more water inside the refrigerator due to the faulty ice maker. Thanks for the great video. The ice maker works great with full ice cubes. Let see what happens after a few days. Hopefully that is the end of the water dripping from the ice maker. Thank you for sharing your experience via the video. It save me about $500. A company was asking that price to replace the ice maker. All it cost to me was $92. Again, thanks for sharing your video.

[@silverhairlife]

Great! I'm glad the video helped. We have to save money where we can.

[@nurstratton4994]

This is perfect! First, I defrosted the fridge to make sure the line was not frozen (that happened on my GE yrs ago). When still no ice, I figured it must be the ice maker itself. You did a great job; took less than 30min to do! $90 for the part. Thanks SO much for this!!!

[@lonhenderson5671]

Great video and exactly what I needed. That panel is very stuck on mine and I was reluctant to apply the effort needed to loosen it until I watched your video. And BTW, two service techs have told me that Samsung fridges are an excellent source of revenue for them.

[@FredKokaska]

Thanks for posting this. My plate was also stuck and I was afraid to force it.. until I saw your video confirming that there are no additional fasteners. Gentle pressure in all directions and it finally popped out.

[@rickhendershot8340]

Your video is excellent I had to use it 4 times. My Samsung refrigator has gone thru 4 ice makers so far. I will never buy another Samsung refrigator.

[@silverhairlife]

Thank you for watching and I'm glad the video helped.

[@MrErrick33]

Hey, this video is on point. You saved me $$$, by me doing this myself. Took me 5 minutes and I have ice.

[@carl16760]

excellent video...only problem was the big back plate that conceals the plug didn't want to let go. Being frozen plastic was worried it would break. finally after tugging it popped off...that was the only issue. From the prices I see in the comments I guess we saved a bunch. It was really nice of you to put up this video.. Thank you

[@silverhairlife]

Glad it helped! Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@annetterodrigues1652]

Imhavng trouble getting it off. Any tricks?

[@EGE3101]

Thanks a ton! The panel would not come off and I didn’t dare to force it off until I watched your video.

[@jeffreylogan2853]

Thank you. I saw another video on this as well but yours was much quicker and to the point. One trick is that on mine there was an arrow on the right side of the panel were a flat head screwdriver inserted there got the panel to pop off. It would not come off when I was prying at the "tab" on the left side of the panel.

[@bernhardtmoore7545]

Worked perfectly; the only change I would suggest would be to mount the ice maker unit to the plate before remounting the plate to the door. No floppy ice maker unit that way.

[@macnarag6184]

That's what I did, so much easier than trying to hold it.

[@jimdean1787]

Very helpful; it gave me the confidence to change it out and save big bucks on the repair. Many thanks.

[@kathleenboyer7194]

I found this video extremely helpful. I bought an OEM part and was able to remove the old part and put the new one in; however the reset button is not making any noise like it normally does. Hopefully there will be ice in 24 hours though!

[@psichijr]

Hi Kathleen. Is your ice maker working even though you didn't hear the chime after pressing the reset button? We just replaced ours and we didn't hear the chime either after pressing the reset button.

[@kdtronca]

Thank you!!! Last Samsung frig for us.

[@DavidJensenPhoto]

Thank you. We have ice, so far. Factory part arrived and we followed your instructions. Our part did not include the bottom plastic piece. We borrowed the piece from the old ice maker. Unfortunately, Samsung changed the diameter of the two attaching screws (smaller holes on the replacement.) Required a trip to hardware store to get matching diameters for the new ice maker. Samsung should be embarrassed with this mess and poor quality. It's prime for a class action suit considering how many hundreds of similar complaints I've come across the past few months. Appreciate your video and calming music.

[@wtoddkessler1643]

Do you recall what smaller size and type thread you needed for the new one?

[@natebva]

Thanks! You just saved me $250! I have had to replace the POS ice maker 4 times now. Each time it just stops making ice and pressing the reset button for 10 seconds will get it thru 1 cycle and then it stops again. Eventually it just quits making ice. The first time was under factory warranty and the next 2 I paid $350 for service & part. This 4th time I ordered the ice maker for just under $100 delivered and replaced it myself using your video. I did have to transfer the bottom white plastic piece from the old to new, but all in all a very simple job that took 10 minutes. Thanks so much!

[@silverhairlife]

Glad the video helped!

[@candiceallen3801]

Omg! This helps me a lot I was about pay someone to fix this and he wanted $300 to fix

[@geralynstephensgunn9747]

These instruction were perfect ! And, we barely know the difference in screwdriver heads! Thank you for saving us hundreds of $$$$$.

[@tedbalfour2969]

Thanks for the video, very helpful. I also had issues getting the back panel off. I found that by pushing the side in with a screwdriver behind the plastic ice bucket hook will release the panel. There is a little plastic extrusion on the panel that sits between two plastic extrusions on the door. By pushing in with a screwdriver, this allows the extrusion on the panel to be freed. I hope this helps!!

[@joannekoravos5282]

I'm having the same problem getting the panel out. I'm afraid to put too much pressure with a screwdriver because I don't want to crack the plastic. Also the panel seems to be sliding up and down, just won't pull out. Any other ideas?

[@paulneale988]

Great video! Although we have two different refrigerators, the ice maker looks the same. My ice maker isn't making ice and the motor doesn't seem to come on after long periods of time. The arms don't move either. My reset button was shorn off, so I can't put in test mode. I've defrosted the freezer and checked the water lines and everything looks in order. I just think the icemaker is shot. I'm going to save your video and use it to guide me when I get the new part in. Thanks.

[@aw1359]

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I just put a new one in a few hours ago and now have ice!!!

[@silverhairlife]

Awesome! Thank you for watching the video and letting me know it helped you.

[@Pbobes1]

Same model...ice maker has stopped making ice. However, how do I know if it's getting water or if it's a faulty ice maker?

[@marktrucker9010]

If any of you have a Samsung and your ice maker is given you problems go on Facebook and join a group called " Samsung Refrigerator recall U.S.A now" and see how over 60,000 members are getting their money back for their defective Samsung Refrigerators. Even when they are as old as 2014 or earlier. Samsung knows they have a huge problem with their Refrigerators and they are not helping their customers. In that group they show you the steps to take to make Samsung give you a refund. Join the Facebook group and get your money back.

[@Bluexkaynet]

Thumps up!!! Great video. It's really going to help me, now that I just order the new ice maker. I have the same problem. Water keeps dripping of the ice maker. It's already 5 years old.

[@silverhairlife]

Thanks for your comment! I have been meaning to do an update. It's been 3 months since I put the new icemaker in and it's still working great. One thing to keep in mind is that after you install the new icemaker and reset it, the first water fill may be short, and it might not fill up the ice tray completely. Don't worry though, because after that first fill, it will be back to normal. This is what happened to mine, but yours may fill completely the first time. Good luck! ~Brett

[@GD.702]

where's the best place to buy it?

[@dougmaccoll7564]

Thanks!! Got the old one out and ordering a new one! Nice music too! hahaha

[@kevinh8970]

Helpful video. How do you know for sure this part needs to be replaced? Ice maker isn't working but I'm not sure if it is due to something freezing up or if the part just needs to be replaced. I did use a hair dryer and it produced one tray of ice and quit again. Or is replace the part to deal with the problem completely. Thanks

[@silverhairlife]

I didn't want to spend a whole lot of time trouble shooting the problem so I decided to just replace the ice maker and that worked for me.

[@tamiraniv4440]

good video but my problem is different: the ice tray cannot complete rotation. somehow something stops it on its right side and it return to its normal position. every test showed the same result. any comments? thanks

[@wtoddkessler1643]

This made a seemingly complicated project a little easier. Thanks for the video. The plastic mounting bracket screws that were taken off the old ice maker were too large for the holes in the new one. This mounting bracket is not included with replacement, which is a bummer. Luckily, I had a tap set and was able to tap new threads for larger screws and that wasn't easy and time consuming. After replacing the ice maker and buttoning everything up, the "ice off" can not be reset. This may be due to high temperature in the freezer? I also held the reset button, but never heard a chime, the arm didn't move and no water is flowing into ice maker. What's going on?

[@davidlawrenwarner4913]

I have the same icicle problem. Did the replacement work? Couldn't find your video showing if it worked.

[@dn9186]

Thanks. Especially for "Hold Down" Test button to Reset. I was pressing it and was unable to reset. Now I know (once I heard the chime), I don't need to replace the ice maker.

[@silverhairlife]

+Dan Novak Glad the video helped!

[@donqjr9916]

1. On the old unit, the chime sounded but it did not reset so the chime doesn't mean you don't need to replace. 2. It would've been helpful to show removal-- removing the connector requires some skill!

[@ryannnn305]

Just replaced the ice maker thanks for the video. Is it safe to assume if we get water when water is selected, then water is getting to the ice maker?

[@silverhairlife]

Yes, that is correct

[@ryannnn305]

We have ICE!! Thanks again for the video.

[@silverhairlife]

Cool! Glad the video helped.

Any suggestions in how to remove a jammed ice bucket that is not in straight. I often have trouble getting it to go in evenly and it has jammed once before but don't remember how my friend unjammed it. Can you help? Can only move the mental ice crushing part just a bit..but not releasing. Carolyn

[@andyyates8002]

My ice maker stopped working a few months ago, the ice no longer came out (think the heat element didnt work) I got a replacement unit yesterday and installed it, but its not working, 2 of the compartments filled up and froze, however it didnt spit them out. Is the unit faulty or am I doing something wrong? I did the test button and left it overnight but nothing. Today i have freed the two stuck pieces and pressed the test again

[@ericphelps5031]

Just replaced my ice maker and everything worked fine. I do agree with several of the comments about the panel being hard to remove ... maybe frozen a little? Very helpful though! I have the exact same model ... have you experienced the fan freezing up inside of the Refrigerator side? You must remove the back panel and defrost the coils around the fan ... seems to last about two years before it needs it again. Just curious to know if you have experienced it and what you may have tried. Thx.

[@silverhairlife]

Thanks for watching the video. Thankfully I have not experienced the fan freezing up yet.

[@milesvoss1406]

Omg yes, my aunt's fridge side does that too, I take off the panel and thaw the whole bottom area and the fan too, I'm so happy I'm not alone🥲

After a couple of years these American fridges always start to get cracks in the casing or something else goes wrong so mine is always insured .they can’t fix the casing so you basically get a new fridge I was amazed at this I thought it would of been fixed with glue or something but this isn’t the case .

[@robyndery2319]

How do you get your top part to slide up and off so easily? Mine won’t move, with or without the ice bucket being on.

[@silverhairlife]

Robyn Yours may be a little frozen or something. Try tapping on the bottom sides with something like the soft end of a kitchen utensil to see if it Comes loose. Look for any tape that may not have been removed from shipping.

[@robyndery2319]

@@silverhairlife Thanks! I got it. I banged it a little. You also have to VERY slightly tilt the bottom slowly to get past the little clips at the bottom of it, as you lift straight up. I haven’t had it working for over five years because I wasn’t going to pay over $400 for ice. I saw this randomly, and figured I might as well order and try. It comes in Saturday.

I have exact same Samsung model with Ice maker that stopped working, no water fill. If I set reset button it will go though motions like it is dumping ice. However, the arm will come down and go back up. Is it suppose to remain in the down position to fill or does it just go down to check ice level and then go back up? Trying to decide if it is an inlet valve or bad ice maker.

[@silverhairlife]

+Tim Riley You are correct in that the arm will just go down to check the ice level and then go back up. If there is no water coming out, then it's a good possibility it is the inlet valve.

[@winzaw6569]

i have replaced ice make and water valve but only a little water come out to ice maker and no ice come out to ice bucket..how can do it?

[@camatt2989]

How long after reset did your freezer start producing ice? My freezer has never made ice and the last time we started it up it never made ice we had a service tech come and he has thought the lines has frozen inside the door. I defrosted and reset the maker but hours later it shows no signs of trying to produce ice. Does it truly take 24 hrs? Thanks

[@silverhairlife]

Cameron Matthews I would say at least 8 hours. You first have to make sure that the ice maker is filling up with water. After you hit reset, you should hear it start to fill within a couple of minutes. If it is not filling up then it's a fill valve issue in the back of the fridge. This is if you have the exact fridge we do.

[@RATZO03]

HI DIY, I have the exact frig, water is working fine, but won't make ice. I have installed a new filter, still nothing. I have run it through the reset mode and only puts out enough water to fill 5 of the 6 cube molds and only half way. Waited 24 hrs and it won't refill the try. When it resets it puts the arm all the way up again, ( not sure if this is correct or not). Your thoughts, water valve??Thank you any help is appreciated.

[@silverhairlife]

True, the ice maker will only fill up half way after initial reset. But it should return to fill normally after that. So based on your information, I would go ahead and replace the ice maker itself because there is a computer board on there that could be defective. If it was the water valve, it would not even fill at all after resetting. In my experience, these ice makers are somewhat finicky and having to replace it every 2 - 3 years is still cheaper than possibly buying a new fridge for me. It's been 2 years since I replaced my ice maker and it's still working fine.

[@elitefleet6402]

where my ice box is . it's like it defrosts cause all the ice turns into a block of ice. why ? did you have this problem

[@sheilastabile7634]

Thank you for this video. I'm about to replace the ice maker but have one question: Can I pull the ice maker's power cord through the panel slot without having to pop off the panel first? Thanks in advance, Lenny

[@silverhairlife]

Unfortunately No. Not on this model fridge. The panel might seem kind of tight at first, like maybe there is a soft adhesive applied. Just keep working it.

[@sheilastabile7634]

Thanks for quickly getting back to me, but let me rephrase the question: (the first step is to remove the ice maker from the door. This part of the video is not shown) "So, after removing the three screws securing the ice maker to the panel, can I then grab the power cord and pull it straight out though the panel slot?" Lenny

[@silverhairlife]

The electrical connection for the ice maker on my refrigerator model is fixed inside the door, it does not have extra length like the ice maker itself. That is why removing the door is necessary, it is to unplug it.

[@vokevin5064]

Hi, i did the same , just replaced the ice maker ,and still doesn’t making ice, so what should i do please?

[@aw1359]

Hi Again. I have the exact same refrigerator as yours - does the gear (or whatever you call that thing that churns the ice) in your ice bucket freeze up from time to time and gets clogged up with ice? Mine does it about once a month where I have to take it out (with ice flying all over the floor), wash & dry it and put it back in. I'm hoping you have a better fix :) Thank you!

[@silverhairlife]

Yes, mine does the exact same thing. I don't have a fix right now and it just seems to be the nature of this ice machine, but I am working on trying to figure one out. If I come up with a fix, I will definitely do an update!

[@barbecue4u]

Hi...Question, My ice maker stopped making ice. I have pressed the reset button and it cycles through...then the water comes in to the tray but only for a second or so and then stops...do you think that replacing this, as you did above, would solve my issue? Thanks in advance!! Also, the normal water line is operating as normal as I can fill glasses of water without issue.

[@silverhairlife]

+Greg Rempe I would try changing it out. Just note that after you do, the water that goes in will only come out for a about 2 seconds instead of the normal 4 or 5 seconds after you reset it for the first batch. Good luck!

[@barbecue4u]

[@DaddyBLUE90S]

I replaced ice maker ten hours ago and reset it allowed water in but I didn't see ice level pedal go down. I also forgot to turn on the water but just turned it on could that be what's stopping the ice? I'm thinking to dump out small cubes and reset.

[@silverhairlife]

Sorry for the delay. Yes, dump out ice and reset.

[@macegel1630]

I noticed that when the ice maker in the video was installed and the freezer door closed, the ice level arm was in the up position. There is no way the ice maker will produce ice with the arm in the up position- this indicates a full ice bin. How was this ice maker made to operate? My Samsung ice maker has the arm stuck up and no longer produces ice. Thanks for any help!!

[@silverhairlife]

+Cliff Egel When you push and hold the reset button, you should see the arm move. If it doesn't move, it is most likely defective.

my Samsung fridge has a similar setup/ice maker, but my problem is that “Ice Off” indicator keeps flashing and it does not produce any ice. Normally the flashing indicates the bucket is not in place but I have quadruple checked that the ice bucket is indeed properly installed. I have checked water pressure, reset entire fridge (unplug power for 10 min) and pushed the reset ice button til it chimes.... (doing last item produces one set of ice blocks during sequential resets).... any ideas?

Thanks! Now I know that I need to pull harder to remove the panel. How did you get the icemaker disconnected before you removed the panel? Just pulled it out? Anyway, you gave me what I needed to proceed.

[@silverhairlife]

Gary, Glad the video helped. Once you remove the screws that attach the icemaker to the door, it just kind of hangs there. Once you loosen up the panel, there is a clip behind the panel that you undo, and then the icemaker and cord can be pulled out.

Do you know how to clean the external condenser it seems hidden and buried on the floor? Yah changed my ice maker 3 times in 7 years. Never again samsung.

I'm sorry, I haven't had to clean the condenser coil. Hopefully you can find a video out there for that.

these ice makers must be junk I've had problems with mine also. I've had the water inlet valve replaced ,the ice maker, the inside control panel replaced, the front control panel and it's still not working . the repair guys don't know what else to do, I'm glad I got the exe. warranty this is only 3 yrs. old . Now I guess I call Samsung and see about replacing it.

[@silverhairlife]

I agree. I hope you have good luck when you call Samsung.

Kind of lazy not showing how to do it completely since you're party of the way don't before the video. Thumbs down dude.

I have all the proper screws removed but my panel seems super stuck. I am very afraid to pry it off. Is there any trick to pulling a certain way?

[@silverhairlife]

Just keep working at the seams, and it will eventually come loose. There may be a little adhesive on the backside of the panel as well that needs to come loose. I had to apply a little force when I first removed mine.
