The ice maker assembly controls the entire ice production cycle — filling the mold with water, freezing it to temperature, briefly heating the mold bottom to release the cubes, and rotating the ejector arm to drop them into the bin. When the motor wears out, the thermostat fails to trigger the harvest cycle, or the heater burns out, ice production stops entirely or becomes erratic. The 243297613 Electrolux OEM Ice Maker Assembly is the factory-specified complete replacement (module, motor, ejector, mold, heater, and thermostat) that restores full ice production in one repair.
✓ Symptoms This Fixes
- Ice maker produces no ice at all
- Ice maker makes very little ice or takes too long between batches
- Clicking or humming from the ice maker area but no ice drops
- Ice cubes are small, hollow, or misshapen
- Ejector arm not rotating or getting stuck mid-cycle
- Ice maker cycles but the mold never fills with water (confirm water valve separately)
- Ice maker arm stuck in the up (off) position with no mechanical cause
- Ice maker worked intermittently before stopping completely

A failed ice maker assembly and a failed water inlet valve produce identical symptoms — no ice. Before ordering the assembly, confirm water is actually reaching the mold. Place a cup under the fill tube and manually advance the ice maker through a harvest cycle (use the test button or jumper the test terminals). If the mold fills with water but no ice is produced or ejected, the assembly has failed. If no water enters the mold at all, the water inlet valve solenoid has failed and is the correct part to order. Also confirm the freezer is holding 0°F (−18°C) — a freezer running above 10°F will prevent ice from forming regardless of the assembly condition.
✓ Installation Notes
- Skill Level: Beginner to Intermediate — basic hand tools, no special equipment required
- Estimated Time: 20–30 minutes
- Key Steps: Disconnect power and shut off water supply → Remove ice bin to access the ice maker → Disconnect the wire harness connector from the ice maker module → Disconnect the water fill tube from the assembly → Remove mounting screws (typically 2–3) and pull assembly out → Mount new assembly in same position and secure screws → Reconnect fill tube and wire harness → Restore water and power → Allow 24 hours for first ice production (freezer must reach operating temperature)
- Safety: Always disconnect power and shut off the water supply before beginning. Have a towel ready — residual water in the fill tube will drip when disconnected. Do not force the ejector arm — if it is stuck, the motor has seized and the assembly must be replaced.

✓ Frequently Asked Questions
How do I confirm it's the ice maker assembly and not the water inlet valve?
Manually advance the ice maker through a test cycle using the test button or by jumping the test terminals (consult your model's service manual for the correct procedure). Watch whether water enters the mold during the fill phase. If water fills the mold but no ice is produced or ejected, the assembly has failed. If no water enters the mold at all, the water inlet valve solenoid is the fault — not the ice maker assembly.
Is 243297613 the same as 243297603?
Yes — 243297603, 243297606, 243297607, 243297609, and 243298001 are all superseded or cross-reference part numbers for the same Electrolux ice maker assembly. 243297613 is the current active OEM part number and is a direct replacement for all of these.
How long does it take to make ice after installation?
Allow up to 24 hours for the first ice production after installation. The freezer must reach its operating temperature (0°F / −18°C) before the ice maker thermostat will trigger the first harvest cycle. If no ice is produced after 24 hours, confirm the freezer temperature and verify the water supply is connected and the shut-off arm is in the down (on) position.
What is the Used option?
The Used option is a genuine Electrolux OEM ice maker assembly pulled from a working appliance, inspected for motor operation, ejector function, and thermostat integrity. Ideal for older refrigerators where a new part may outlast the appliance.
