Samsung Refrigerator Ice Maker Assembly DA97-15217D, Replaces DA97-12317A, DA97-12317B, DA97-15217A, DA97-15217B

DA97-15217D is a genuine Samsung AW4 120-volt refrigerator ice-maker assembly. It replaces Samsung part numbers DA97-12317A, DA97-12317B, DA97-15217A and DA97-15217B.

The complete assembly includes the ice mould, motor, thermostat, ejector mechanism, wiring and housing required to freeze and release ice into the storage container. Produces approximately ten cubes per cycle. Full-depth style — do not confuse with shorter counter-depth assemblies DA97-13718C or DA97-18859A.

A defective, frozen or mechanically jammed ice maker may contribute to no ice, slow production, cubes remaining in the mould, repeated jams, or failure to complete a harvest cycle.

Similar symptoms can also result from low water pressure, a restricted water filter, defective inlet valve, frozen fill tube, ice-room fan problem, excessive frost, damaged wiring, or an ice-room sealing condition.

Confirm the complete refrigerator model and revision suffix before ordering. Samsung refrigerators with similar model names may use different ice makers across revisions. Check whether the exact refrigerator requires additional Samsung ice-room service parts or sealing updates.

Disconnect electrical power and shut off the water supply before servicing the ice maker.

Is This the Right Part?

Fits select Samsung refrigerator models and revisions. Confirm the complete model suffix before ordering. Similar Samsung ice makers are not interchangeable across full-depth and counter-depth configurations.

Common Symptoms

• Ice maker produces no ice despite correct freezer temperature and water supply
• Ice production is very slow — fewer cubes per cycle than normal
• Ice cubes jam in the mould or ejector and will not release
• Ice maker fills with water but does not freeze or eject cubes
• Ice maker fails to complete a harvest cycle — clicking or abnormal mechanical noise
• Water leaking or overflowing near the ice maker

Check Before Replacing

• Confirm freezer temperature is at or below 0°F (−18°C) — insufficient cold prevents ice production without assembly failure
• Verify water supply pressure and filter condition — low flow or a clogged filter causes slow or no ice without ice maker failure
• Inspect the water-inlet valve — a partially failed valve is a common cause of slow ice production often misdiagnosed as ice maker failure
• Check the fill tube for ice blockage — a frozen fill tube stops water delivery entirely
• Confirm the ice maker arm is in the down (on) position and the ice maker is not disabled in settings
• Inspect the ice-room fan and check for excessive frost or ice-room sealing problems
• Inspect wiring and connectors to the ice maker assembly before ordering

Installation Notes

1. Disconnect power and shut off the water supply before servicing.
2. Photograph wiring harness routing and mounting positions before removal.
3. Compare the new assembly with the original before installation — confirm full-depth vs. counter-depth style matches.
4. Inspect the fill tube, inlet valve, and ice-room fan while the assembly is removed.
5. Restore power and water, then run a test cycle to confirm fill and ejection. Installation access and any required service updates vary by refrigerator model.

Use a qualified technician when diagnosis or installation is outside your experience.
