Genuine OEM AEQ72910413 Refrigerator Ice Maker Assembly
The Genuine OEM LG AEQ72910413 is the 10-cube ice maker assembly kit for select LG and Kenmore bottom-mount refrigerators. The ice maker fills a mold with water and freezes it, then a heater warms the mold slightly so the cubes release and are scooped into the storage bin. When it fails, the refrigerator may stop making ice or make small, misshapen cubes.
This is the original LG part, not an aftermarket equivalent. It is sold as an assembly kit. Check your model number before ordering, because LG uses several similar ice makers with different part numbers.
Quick Answer

XPARTCO WR51X10055 Refrigerator Defrost Heater Assembly
The XPARTCO WR51X10055 is an aftermarket replacement refrigerator defrost heater and bracket assembly compatible with a wide range of GE, Hotpoint, Kenmore, Haier, Americana, Monogram, and Café refrigerators. The defrost heater is a glass quartz tube heater mounted on a bracket below the evaporator coils in the freezer compartment. During each automatic defrost cycle, the heater energizes and melts any frost that has accumulated on the evaporator coils — maintaining unobstructed airflow through the coils so the refrigerator can cool efficiently. When the heater fails, frost accumulates on the coils unchecked, blocking airflow and causing both the freezer and fresh food sections to gradually warm up.
Rated at 120V, 725W, this single quartz tube heater assembly measures 12-1/8" L x 3-3/8" W x 2-1/8" H and includes the heater element and mounting bracket. It directly replaces WR51X10030, AP3183311, 914088, AH303781, EA303781, PS303781, SH323, and EAP303781. Often replaced together with the defrost thermostat (WR50X10068) and temperature sensor (WR55X10025) for a complete defrost system repair. Installs in 20–30 minutes with basic hand tools.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO WR51X10055 Refrigerator Defrost Heater Assembly fixes GE and Hotpoint refrigerators where frost is building up on the evaporator coils, the freezer is too warm, the fresh food section is warming up, or the refrigerator is running continuously without cooling properly. Single quartz tube heater, 120V / 725W. Assembly measures 12-1/8" L x 3-3/8" W x 2-1/8" H. Includes heater and bracket. Replaces WR51X10030, AP3183311, 914088, SH323, and more. Compatible with GE, Hotpoint, Kenmore, Haier, Americana, Monogram, and Café.
Common Problems This Part Fixes

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator Before Starting — Wear Work Gloves Unplug the refrigerator before beginning. Remove all food and shelving from the freezer compartment. Remove the freezer bottom drawer and the back panel screws (typically 2 hex-head screws). Slide out the back panel to expose the evaporator coils and defrost heater assembly. If the coils are covered in frost or ice, use a hair dryer to melt the ice before removing the heater — do not chip or force the heater free while iced over, as the glass element is fragile and will break. Disconnect the heater wires from the wiring harness — note the orientation before disconnecting. Remove the 2 Phillips screws securing the heater bracket and lift the heater assembly out. Install the new WR51X10055 heater assembly in the same position, reconnect the wires, and reinstall the bracket screws. Reinstall the back panel, shelving, and food. Restore power and verify the defrost cycle operates normally. Wear work gloves throughout — the evaporator area has sharp edges. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, 1/4" nut driver, hair dryer (if coils are iced over), work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the refrigerator defrost heater do?
Modern refrigerators use an automatic defrost system that periodically runs a defrost cycle — typically once or twice a day — to melt frost that accumulates on the evaporator coils during normal operation. The defrost heater is a glass quartz heating element that energizes during this cycle and melts the frost off the coils. This keeps the coils clear so air can flow freely through them to cool the refrigerator. When the heater fails, frost builds up unchecked on the coils over days or weeks — eventually blocking airflow completely and causing both compartments to warm up, even though the compressor is still running.
How do I know if my defrost heater has failed?
Remove the freezer back panel to expose the evaporator coils. If the coils are heavily coated in frost or solid ice — especially if both the freezer and refrigerator sections have been warming up — a failed defrost heater is the most likely cause. You can confirm with a multimeter: disconnect the heater and probe both wire ends. A working heater shows continuity (resistance between approximately 10–200 ohms at room temperature depending on wattage). No continuity confirms the heater element has burned out. Also visually inspect the glass tube — a burned, blackened, or broken tube is a clear sign of failure.
Should I also replace the defrost thermostat and temperature sensor?
Yes — since the freezer must be fully emptied and the back panel removed to replace the heater, it is highly recommended to also replace the defrost thermostat (WR50X10068) and temperature sensor (WR55X10025) at the same time. All three components form the defrost system and wear at similar rates. A failed thermostat or sensor can cause the heater to run too long or not at all — replacing all three in a single repair eliminates that risk and saves you from another complete freezer teardown in the near future.
My freezer is warming up but the compressor is running — is it the defrost heater?
It often is — but not always. A compressor that is running but not cooling can be caused by a failed defrost heater (frost blocking airflow), a faulty evaporator fan motor (air not circulating), a defrost thermostat or timer failure, or a sealed system problem (refrigerant leak or compressor issue). The easiest way to distinguish a defrost system failure from other causes is to open the freezer and check whether frost has built up on the back panel or coils. If yes, the defrost heater is the most likely culprit. If the coils are clear and the compressor is running, look at the evaporator fan or sealed system next.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine GE OEM part, but is manufactured as a single quartz tube glass heater rated at 120V/725W to match the dimensions and performance of the original WR51X10055 defrost heater assembly.

DA97-07603B Genuine OEM Samsung Refrigerator Ice Maker
The DA97-07603B is a genuine Samsung OEM ice maker assembly for Samsung and select Maytag refrigerators. This is the freezer ice maker, located inside the freezer compartment — it is not the in-door icemaker used on many other Samsung models. This is a plastic tray-style ice maker with a 9-cube flex tray design, an 8-pin connector, and includes a motor for ice ejection, a water valve to fill the mold, and a thermostat that senses temperature and signals when it's time to release the finished ice.
This complete assembly contains the entire ice maker and its housing. If the mold's coating is flaking, or internal components have stopped functioning, replacing the full assembly resolves both problems at once. Failure symptoms include the ice maker not producing ice, reduced ice production, or loud popping sounds coming from the ice maker during operation. It directly replaces DA61-03213B, DA97-07603B, DA97-05037D, DA97-07603A, 2688774, DA59-00294A, DA61-03213B, DA63-06415A, DA97-05037A, DA97-05037C, DA61-05227, AP5651755, ASM105616, PD00002034, PS5575313.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator And Shut Off Water Supply Before Starting Unplug the refrigerator from the power outlet and turn off the water supply before beginning. Wear work gloves. On bottom-freezer drawer-style models, most of the time in this repair goes toward removing the trays from the freezer and pulling the freezer door/drawer out for access — budget extra time for this step. Remove the ice maker cover by lifting it away from the housing. Remove the ice bucket and any cover plates blocking access. Photograph the wiring connection before disconnecting anything. Unscrew the ice maker from its housing, disconnect the water line connection and the 8-pin electrical connector, and carefully lift the old assembly out of its compartment. Install the new DA97-07603B in the same position, reconnect the water line and electrical connector fully, and secure it to the housing with its screws. Reinstall the ice maker cover, cover plates, and ice bucket, then replace the freezer trays and close the freezer door/drawer. Restore the water supply and power, then allow several hours for the first cycle to complete and confirm ice is being produced normally. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My ice maker makes loud popping sounds. Is this the part I need?
Yes, this is a documented symptom of a failing ice maker assembly, alongside reduced or stopped ice production. If you're hearing unusual popping noises during the ice-making cycle, replacing the complete assembly addresses the underlying mechanical or electrical issue rather than trying to isolate and repair a specific internal component.
My refrigerator has an in-door ice maker. Will this part fit?
No. This DA97-07603B is specifically a drop-in replacement for the freezer compartment icemaker and will not fit an in-door icemaker used on many other Samsung refrigerator models. Check where your current ice maker is physically located — inside the freezer versus built into the refrigerator door — before ordering.
Is this the same as the DA97-07603C icemaker I've seen for other models?
No. While this part does replace the earlier DA97-07603A version, it is explicitly not a suitable substitute for the DA97-07603C icemaker used on other Samsung models, despite the similar numbering. Always confirm your full model number rather than assuming based on a close part number match.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by Samsung to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It matches the original mold design, motor, water valve, and thermostat configuration of the freezer ice maker originally installed in your refrigerator.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator Before Starting — Check For Blockages First Unplug the refrigerator and safely store any food that could spoil while the power is off. Wear work gloves. Before disassembling anything, check whether food items or packaging have been accidentally pushed against the damper mechanism, since this can cause the same temperature symptoms as a genuinely failed part. Locate the evaporator cover, typically in the freezer or at the back of the fresh food compartment depending on your model, and remove it to access the damper assembly. Photograph the wiring connection to the actuator motor before disconnecting anything. Disconnect the wiring harness from the old damper assembly, remove any mounting clips or fasteners, and pull it free. Install the new W11236851 in the same position, reconnect the wiring harness fully, and secure any mounting hardware. Reinstall the evaporator cover. Restore power and monitor both the refrigerator and freezer temperatures over the next 24 hours to confirm consistent, accurate cooling in both compartments. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver (model-dependent), work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My refrigerator section is too warm but the freezer is fine. Is this the part I need?
Yes, this is a common symptom of a failing air damper. Since this damper controls how much cold air moves from the freezer into the refrigerator compartment, a stuck or broken damper can leave the refrigerator section too warm even while the freezer maintains a normal temperature.
My freezer or fridge is too cold instead of too warm. Could this still be the damper?
Yes. A damper stuck in the open position can let too much cold air flow into the refrigerator compartment, making it colder than intended, while a damper stuck closed can have the opposite effect. Both too-cold and too-warm symptoms in either compartment can point to this same part.
What should I check before assuming the damper itself is broken?
Check that nothing — food packaging, containers, or shifted items — is physically blocking the damper mechanism, since accidental blocking can produce the same temperature symptoms as a genuinely worn or failed damper, without requiring a replacement part at all.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It matches the original damper and actuator design of the air damper diffuser originally installed in your refrigerator.

Genuine OEM WR60X27396 Refrigerator Air Damper Assembly
The WR60X27396 is a genuine OEM air damper assembly for GE refrigerators, including side-by-side and bottom-mount models. The damper is a motorized flap that opens and closes to direct cold air from the freezer into the fresh food compartment, which is how the refrigerator keeps the fresh food section at the right temperature. When it sticks open or closed, or its motor stops working, the compartments fall out of balance: the fresh food section can run too warm or too cold, frost can build up, and the damper may make noise as it moves.
This is a genuine OEM part from GE Appliances, not an aftermarket equivalent, so the fit and operation match the original. It supersedes the earlier WR31X20918 damper assembly.
Quick Answer
The Genuine OEM WR60X27396 Air Damper Assembly fixes a GE refrigerator whose fresh food section is too warm or too cold, or has uneven temperatures, frost buildup, or damper noise because the damper is stuck or has failed. Genuine OEM from GE Appliances. Classic symptom: the freezer is cold but the fresh food section is warm, or the fresh food section freezes items, even with normal settings.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Fresh food section too warm while the freezer stays cold
Fresh food section too cold, freezing food

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Power Before Installing Unplug the refrigerator before starting, and move perishable food to a cooler or another refrigerator so it stays safe during the repair. Following your model's service guide, remove the panels or covers needed to reach the damper, which sits in the air path between the freezer and the fresh food section. Note the position of the old damper, disconnect its wiring connector, and remove the fasteners holding it in place. Install the new damper in the same position, reconnect the connector, and replace the panels. Restore power and allow time for the temperatures to stabilize before judging the repair.
Frequently Asked Questions
My freezer is cold but the fresh food section is warm. Is this the part I need?
It can be. If the damper is stuck closed, not enough cold air reaches the fresh food section. Before replacing it, check that the vents aren't blocked by food and that frost isn't jamming the damper. A stuck or failed damper is a likely cause when those are clear.
My fresh food section is freezing my food. Could this be the damper?
Yes. A damper stuck open lets too much cold air in from the freezer, which can freeze items in the fresh food section.
My old damper is marked WR31X20918. Will this work?
Yes. WR31X20918 is on the Replaces list, and WR60X27396 is its current replacement. If you're unsure, contact our support team with your model number and we'll confirm.
Is this a genuine GE part?
Yes. This is a genuine OEM part from GE Appliances, not an aftermarket equivalent.
