CRITICAL SAFETY WARNING: Unplug refrigerator before servicing.

  1. Unplug refrigerator from power.
  2. Remove ice bucket from freezer door.
  3. Remove screws securing auger motor cover.
  4. Disconnect wiring harness and remove old auger motor assembly.
  5. Install new auger motor assembly with mounting bracket and connect wiring harness.
  6. Secure with screws.
  7. Reinstall ice bucket.
  8. Plug in refrigerator and test ice dispenser operation.

Safety Notes: Avoid forcing auger if jammed; always clear ice buildup before replacement.

Before replacing the auger motor, check for ice jams and auger obstructions. Remove the ice bucket and look inside the bucket housing — sometimes a large ice chunk or foreign object jams the auger mechanism, preventing the motor from turning. Clear any obstructions and test again. Also check that the ice bucket is seating properly — if it's not fully engaged with the auger shaft, the motor can't turn the auger. If you hear the motor humming but the auger doesn't turn, the motor may be fine but the internal gears are stripped — the motor assembly includes the gearbox, so replacing the whole assembly solves this. If there's complete silence when pressing the dispenser, verify the dispenser switch/lever is working (you should hear a click) and check for power at the motor connector with a multimeter (should see ~12V DC when dispenser is activated). If no power is present, the issue may be the dispenser switch, control board, or wiring rather than the motor. After installation, if the motor runs but ice still doesn't dispense well, check that the auger inside the bucket isn't cracked or damaged — a broken auger blade won't push ice effectively even with a good motor.

DA97-12540G Samsung Refrigerator Auger Motor Assembly – Fix Your Ice Dispenser That Won't Dispense Ice, Makes Grinding Noises, Has Jammed Auger, Dispenses Slowly, or Only Works Intermittently

DA97-12540G Refrigerator Auger Motor Assembly – The complete fix for a Samsung refrigerator ice dispenser that won't dispense ice, makes grinding or humming noises, has a jammed or stuck auger, dispenses ice slowly, or only works intermittently. The auger motor is the component that powers the spiral auger blade inside the ice bucket — when you press the dispenser lever, the motor spins the auger to push ice cubes toward the chute and into your glass.

When the auger motor fails — due to a burned-out motor, stripped gears, seized bearings, or electrical failure — the dispenser won't deliver ice even though the ice maker is producing ice and the bucket is full. You may hear a humming or clicking sound when pressing the dispenser (motor trying but failing to turn), grinding noises (stripped gears), or complete silence (motor not receiving power or completely dead).

If your ice bucket is full but no ice comes out when you press the dispenser, the auger motor assembly is the most likely cause. This genuine OEM Samsung part directly replaces DA97-12540K, DA97-12540J, DA97-12540H, DA97-12540F, DA97-12540E, DA97-12540A, and earlier versions. Fits Samsung French door and side-by-side refrigerators. Moderate 30–45 minute DIY repair that restores ice dispensing function.

✅ Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my Samsung refrigerator ice dispenser hum but not dispense ice?

A humming sound when you press the ice dispenser lever — but no ice comes out — typically means the auger motor is trying to run but can't turn the auger. The most common causes are: (1) stripped gears inside the motor gearbox — the motor spins but can't transfer power to the auger shaft; (2) a seized motor — bearings have failed and the motor is stalled; (3) ice jam — a large chunk of ice or frozen clump is blocking the auger from rotating; or (4) the auger coupler is stripped or broken. First, remove the ice bucket and check for ice jams or obstructions in the auger housing. If clear, try turning the motor shaft by hand — it should turn with some resistance. If the shaft won't turn or turns freely without resistance (stripped gears), the auger motor assembly needs to be replaced. The humming indicates the motor is receiving power, so the electrical circuit is working — the mechanical drive has failed.
