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.
Quick Answer
The DA97-07603B Genuine OEM Samsung Refrigerator Ice Maker fixes Samsung and select Maytag refrigerators where the freezer ice maker has stopped producing ice, is making less ice than usual, or is making loud popping sounds during operation. 9-cube flex tray, 8-pin connector.

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.

DA32-00029X Genuine OEM Samsung Refrigerator Temperature Sensor
The DA32-00029X is a Genuine OEM Samsung replacement refrigerator temperature sensor compatible with select Samsung side-by-side and French door refrigerators, as well as related Kenmore Samsung-built models. This NTC (negative temperature coefficient) thermistor continuously monitors the temperature inside the refrigerator and sends resistance-based readings to the electronic control board, which uses this data to cycle the compressor, fans, and defrost heaters to maintain accurate, consistent temperatures throughout the appliance. As the thermistor heats up or cools down, its electrical resistance changes predictably, allowing the control board to calculate the exact temperature in real time.
When this sensor fails — whether shorted, open, or providing drifted/inaccurate readings — the refrigerator may run too cold or too warm, cycle excessively, fail to maintain set temperatures, run continuously, ice up the evaporator, or display temperature-related fault codes. As a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Samsung to factory specifications, the DA32-00029X is rated approximately 13.2 kΩ at 20°C (68°F) when functioning correctly. It is one of the variants in the DA32-00029 sensor family — Samsung uses different production-run variants (M, N, Q, U, X) across model generations, all functionally similar but with different wire harness connectors. Installs in 20–30 minutes with basic hand tools.
Quick Answer
The DA32-00029X Genuine OEM Samsung Refrigerator Temperature Sensor fixes Samsung side-by-side and French door refrigerators that run too cold or warm, cycle excessively, freeze up the evaporator, fail to maintain set temperatures, or display temperature-related fault codes. Genuine OEM Samsung NTC thermistor — approximately 13.2 kΩ at 20°C (68°F). One of the DA32-00029 series variants (M, N, Q, U, X) — confirm your specific variant by connector style before ordering.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Refrigerator running too cold or too warm — sensor not accurately reporting temperature to the control board
Inconsistent temperatures — fluctuating cooling that can't maintain set point
Excessive or frequent defrost cycles — control board misreading temperature
Refrigerator running continuously without cycling off
Heavy frost or ice buildup on the evaporator coils caused by erratic defrost timing
Food spoilage from temperature instability
Temperature-related error codes displayed on the control panel
Multimeter test shows 0 ohms (shorted) or infinite resistance (open) instead of the expected ~13.2 kΩ at room temperature
Replaces Part Numbers
This temperature sensor directly replaces the following Samsung part number:
DA32-00029X, EAP16732853, FIX16732853, ASM30292, AP7188139, OEM21564426, PD00090960, PS16732853.
The DA32-00029X is part of the broader DA32-00029 sensor family — variants M, N, Q, U, and X are functionally similar Samsung temperature sensors used across different model generations, but with different wire harness connector configurations. They are not automatically interchangeable — match the variant suffix (or the connector style) to your refrigerator. Contact our support team with your model number if you need confirmation before ordering.
Compatibility
This temperature sensor is compatible with select Samsung side-by-side and French door refrigerators, including:
Samsung side-by-side refrigerators (select models in the RS-series with the matching DA32-00029X connector)
Samsung 3-door French door refrigerators in 17.5 cu. ft., 19.5 cu. ft., and related capacities (Black Stainless Steel, Black, White, and Stainless Look finishes)
Samsung 4-door French door refrigerators (select RF-series models with the matching DA32-00029X connector)
Kenmore / Sears refrigerators (select Samsung-built models)
Important — Match the Variant to Your Refrigerator: Samsung uses several variants of the DA32-00029 temperature sensor (M, N, Q, U, X) across different model generations. The sensors are similar in function and resistance value, but the wire harness connectors differ — using the wrong variant means the connector won't fit. Before ordering, verify your refrigerator's parts diagram specifies DA32-00029X (not DA32-00029M, N, Q, or U), or visually confirm the connector on your old sensor matches the new one. Contact our support team with your model number if you're unsure.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator and Move Perishable Food Before Starting — Wear Work Gloves Unplug the refrigerator and safely store any food that could spoil while the power is off. Wear work gloves to protect your hands. Samsung refrigerators typically have multiple temperature sensors — fresh food compartment, freezer compartment, and evaporator/defrost sensors — confirm which sensor location matches your symptom and parts diagram before starting. The fresh food and freezer sensors are typically clipped to a wall or shelf bracket inside each compartment, while evaporator/defrost sensors are mounted near the evaporator coils behind a rear access panel. Take a photo of the sensor mounting and wire routing before removing. Disconnect the sensor's wire connector (gently — the molex connectors can be fragile) and release the sensor from its mounting clip. Inspect the connector for corrosion or heat discoloration on the wires — discoloration indicates prior overheating in that area. Install the new DA32-00029X sensor in the same position, reseat the connector firmly, and secure the mounting clip. Restore power, allow several hours for the refrigerator to return to its set temperature, and confirm stable temperature operation before reloading with food. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, multimeter (for testing), work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if the temperature sensor has failed?
Unplug the refrigerator, disconnect the sensor's connector, and set your multimeter to resistance mode. At room temperature (around 20°C/68°F), a working NTC thermistor should read approximately 13.2 kΩ. If the sensor reads 0 ohms, it has shorted internally. If it reads infinite resistance (open circuit, often shown as "OL" on the multimeter), the sensor has failed open. Either reading confirms the sensor needs replacement. If the sensor reads close to 13.2 kΩ at room temperature but the refrigerator still has temperature problems, the control board or another sensor in the system may be the actual cause.
My Samsung refrigerator has multiple temperature sensors — which one do I replace?
Samsung refrigerators typically use multiple temperature sensors: one in the fresh food compartment, one in the freezer compartment, and one near the evaporator coils (often called the defrost sensor). The DA32-00029X is used as the fresh food or freezer compartment temperature sensor on select Samsung models. Confirm the exact mounting location for your specific symptom (e.g., fresh food too warm vs. freezer too cold) and your refrigerator's parts diagram before ordering. The evaporator/defrost sensor is typically a different part number, so don't assume the DA32-00029X covers all sensor positions.
What is the difference between DA32-00029X and DA32-00029M, N, Q, or U?
These are all variants of the same Samsung refrigerator temperature sensor family. They share the same NTC thermistor design and resistance characteristics (approximately 13.2 kΩ at 20°C), but use different wire harness connector configurations to match different refrigerator generations and wiring designs. The X variant is used on select Samsung side-by-side and French door models, while M, N, Q, and U variants appear on other model groups. They are not automatically interchangeable — match the variant to your refrigerator's exact part diagram, or visually compare connector styles before ordering.
My Samsung fridge is icing up the back wall — could this be the sensor?
Possibly, yes. If the temperature sensor near the evaporator (the defrost sensor) is misreporting temperature, the control board may not trigger the defrost cycle when needed, allowing ice to build up on the evaporator coils. Eventually this ice migrates to the rear interior wall as a frozen sheet. If your symptom is back-wall icing combined with poor cooling, the evaporator sensor is a likely cause — but confirm whether the DA32-00029X is the evaporator sensor on your specific model, or whether your model uses a different part number for that position. Always verify against your model's parts diagram.
Is this a Genuine OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Samsung to factory specifications. It is the exact same temperature sensor installed in compatible Samsung side-by-side and French door refrigerators (and Kenmore Samsung-built models) from the factory — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.

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.

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.
