DA97-11092B - Samsung Refrigerator Ice Maker

The Samsung Ice Maker (DA97-11092B) is a genuine part designed for certain Samsung refrigerators. This part, sometimes referred to as an ice maker assembly, is responsible for producing and dispensing ice in your appliance.

The ice maker operates through a combination of mechanical, electrical, and thermal processes. When activated, it signals the valve to open and allow water to flow into the ice mold. The water then freezes into ice cubes due to the freezer's temperature. Once the ice cubes are formed, a heating element within the ice mold is briefly activated, loosening the ice cubes for easy ejection. A motor-driven ejection arm pushes the ice cubes into an ice bin or tray. If crushed ice is needed, an auger motor dispenses the ice through the refrigerator's ice dispenser.

The ice maker's operation is coordinated by various sensors and control mechanisms. These include temperature sensors to ensure the ice is properly frozen and switches that detect when the ice bin is full. Regular cleaning and checking for ice blockages can help maintain the ice maker's functionality.

If your refrigerator's ice maker is not producing ice, dispensing ice irregularly, or the ice cubes are smaller or larger than usual, it might indicate that the ice maker is failing.

Before purchasing the Samsung Ice Maker (DA97-11092B), verify your refrigerator's model number for compatibility.
