DA97-13718C - Samsung Refrigerator Ice Maker

The DA97-13718C Ice Maker (DA97-13718C) is a genuine part manufactured by Samsung for use in their refrigerators. Compatible with various Samsung refrigerator models, this part is sometimes referred to as an ice cube maker or an automatic ice maker.

The ice maker operates through a sequence of mechanical, electrical, and thermal actions. When activated, the valve opens, allowing water to flow into the ice mold. The freezer's cooling process then freezes the water into ice cubes. Once the ice cubes are formed, a heating element within the ice mold slightly warms the mold, loosening the ice cubes for easy ejection. The motor-driven ejection arm pushes the ice cubes into an ice bin or tray, ready for use.

This part is crucial in the overall function of your refrigerator, particularly if you frequently use the appliance's ice making feature. Symptoms indicating that this part may need replacement include the ice maker failing to produce ice, producing smaller than normal ice cubes, or if the ice tastes or smells unusual.

Before purchasing, please verify your refrigerator's model number to ensure compatibility with the DA97-13718C Ice Maker.
