⚠ This part has been superseded by a newer OEM part number.

Order DA97-15217D Instead →Samsung Refrigerator ice maker assembly DA97-15217A
Genuine Samsung ice maker assembly containing the complete ice maker and housing. The assembly is used in Samsung refrigerators and addresses failures such as no ice production or failure to dispense ice.
❓ Is This the Right Part?
This is the correct fix if ALL of the following are true:
- ✔ The refrigerator powers on and the freezer is maintaining proper temperature (−18°C / 0°F or colder)
- ✔ The water supply line is connected, the water valve is open, and water pressure is confirmed adequate
- ✔ The ice maker is not in test/off mode — the arm or switch is in the ON position
- ✔ ONLY problem is no ice production, slow ice output, hollow cubes, or ice maker jamming mid-cycle
Not sure? Send us your model number — we’ll confirm before you order. Note: DA97-15217D is the current OEM replacement and is recommended for new installations.
🔧 Common Symptoms
- Ice maker stopped producing ice entirely — no cycling, no harvest
- Ice maker produces hollow, undersized, or misshapen cubes — partial freeze cycle
- Ice maker jams mid-cycle and requires manual reset to resume
- Ice maker arm stuck or ejector motor not turning — internal motor failure
✔ If these symptoms match, this is the most likely failed component in the system.
✔ In most cases, replacing this ice maker assembly restores full ice production immediately after installation and a 24-hour freeze cycle.

Part Details
- Part Number: DA97-15217A
- Part Type: Refrigerator ice maker assembly
- Manufacturer: Samsung
- Appliance Type: Refrigerator
While the ice maker is out, inspect the water inlet valve and the fill tube for ice buildup or mineral deposits — a partially blocked fill tube is the most common reason a new ice maker underperforms immediately after installation. Flushing the fill tube and testing water valve flow before reinstalling the assembly prevents a repeat service call within weeks.
⚙️ Installation
Skill Level: EASY — 15–25 minutes. Disconnect power and shut off the water supply before servicing. Remove the ice bin, disconnect the wire harness connector, and unscrew the mounting bracket (typically 3 screws). Slide the old assembly out, install the new unit in reverse order, reconnect the harness, restore power and water, and allow 24 hours for the first full ice harvest cycle to complete.
