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 Dishwasher and Shut Off Water Before Starting Disconnect power and shut off the water supply before beginning. On most compatible GE models, the pressure sensor is located near the bottom of the dishwasher tub, accessible after removing the lower front kick panel (secured by one or two screws). The sensor assembly connects to a small hose and a wiring harness connector. Tip: before replacing the sensor, remove it and inspect the pressure port and hose for grease, food residue, or mineral buildup — a clogged sensor port can cause H2O and FTD errors without the sensor itself being electrically failed. Clean the port and hose with warm water and a small brush, reinstall, and test the dishwasher. If the error codes persist after cleaning, replace the WD21X25468 sensor. To replace: disconnect the hose and wiring harness from the old sensor, unclip or unscrew the sensor from its mounting bracket, and install the new sensor in the same position. Reconnect the hose and harness, restore power and water, and run a test cycle. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the dishwasher pressure sensor do?
The pressure sensor monitors the water pressure — and therefore the water level — inside the dishwasher tub throughout the wash cycle. It sends continuous readings to the electronic control board, which uses the data to determine how much water to add during fill, when to stop filling, and whether the tub has drained completely before advancing to the next cycle phase. An accurate pressure sensor is essential for the dishwasher to fill to the correct level (not too much, not too little), wash with the correct spray arm pressure, and drain fully before moving on to rinse or dry cycles.
What do error codes H2O and FTD mean on GE dishwashers?
H2O error code on compatible GE dishwashers indicates that the dishwasher is not detecting enough water in the tub — either water is not filling at all, or the pressure sensor is not sensing the water that has filled. FTD (Failure to Drain) code indicates the dishwasher has not confirmed that the tub has drained within the expected time. Both codes can be caused by a faulty pressure sensor, a clogged sensor port, a failed fill valve, a blocked drain system, or control board issues. The pressure sensor should be inspected and tested first since it is the most accessible and commonly replaced component for these two error codes.
Should I try cleaning the sensor before replacing it?
Yes — absolutely. The pressure sensor on GE dishwashers can produce H2O and FTD error codes when its pressure port or connected hose becomes clogged with grease, food residue, or hard water mineral deposits — even if the sensor itself is electrically intact. Before ordering a replacement, remove the sensor, inspect the pressure port opening, and clean it thoroughly with warm water and a small brush. Flush the connected hose to clear any buildup. Reinstall and run a test cycle. If the error codes return, the sensor has electrically failed and needs replacement with the WD21X25468.
My dishwasher won't fill unless I pour water in manually first — is this the pressure sensor?
Yes — this is a classic symptom of a clogged or failed pressure sensor. When the sensor port is blocked, the sensor reads zero pressure (empty tub) even when the dishwasher starts. In some cases the control board interprets this as a drainage confirmation and will not initiate the fill cycle. Pouring water into the filter manually raises the physical water level enough to trigger filling. Check and clean the sensor port as described above. If cleaning does not resolve the issue, replace the WD21X25468 sensor.
Is this a Genuine OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a Genuine OEM part manufactured by GE to factory specifications. It is the exact same pressure sensor assembly installed in compatible GE, GE Profile, GE Café, Hotpoint, and related brand dishwashers from the factory — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.

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. Depending on your refrigerator model, the fresh-food temperature sensor is typically located behind the air tower or damper assembly on the rear interior wall of the refrigerator compartment; the freezer temperature sensor is typically located behind the rear freezer access panel near the evaporator coils. Confirm which sensor location matches your symptom and the parts diagram for your specific model before starting. Remove all shelves, drawers, and any items blocking access to the sensor location. Remove the screws holding the air tower/damper cover (fresh food side) or rear freezer access panel to expose the sensor. Photograph the sensor position, wire routing, and connector before removing. Disconnect the wire connector (gently — the connector can be fragile) and release the sensor from its mounting clip. Fully insert the new 240597203 sensor probe into the card slot (no exposure) and secure with the mounting clip. Reconnect the wire connector — plug wiring terminals tightly to avoid poor contact. Use cable ties to secure any loose wire routing as before. Reinstall the cover or panel, replace the shelves and drawers, and plug the refrigerator back in. Allow several hours for the refrigerator to return to its set temperature before reloading with food. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, cable ties, multimeter (for testing), work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does OP error code mean on my Frigidaire refrigerator?
The OP error code (Open) indicates the control board is detecting an open circuit on a temperature sensor input — meaning the sensor is failing to send a resistance signal, either because the sensor itself has failed open internally, the wire has broken, or the connector isn't seated. Replacing the temperature sensor typically resolves the code when the sensor itself is the cause. If the code persists after replacement, check the wire harness between the sensor and the control board for damage, and confirm the connector is fully seated. If the OP code appears alongside other symptoms like frost buildup and cooling issues that persist after sensor replacement, the defrost temperature sensor (on the Harness-Low Side, a different part number) may also need to be replaced, or the main control board may be at fault.
How do I test if the temperature sensor has failed?
Unplug the refrigerator, disconnect the sensor's wire connector, and set your multimeter to resistance mode. At room temperature (approximately 25°C / 77°F), a working NTC thermistor should read approximately 10K Ohms. 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. If it reads significantly off from 10K (for example 8.4K or 5K at room temp), the sensor has drifted and is no longer providing accurate readings — replacement is recommended. Any of these results confirms the sensor needs replacement.
My refrigerator has multiple temperature sensors — which one do I replace?
Frigidaire refrigerators typically use multiple temperature sensors: one in the fresh food compartment (behind the air tower/damper), one in the freezer compartment (near the evaporator coils), and often a separate defrost temperature sensor on the Harness-Low Side. The 240597203 is used as the fresh food or freezer compartment temperature sensor. If your symptom is "fresh food too warm" or "freezer over-freezing," the fresh food sensor is the likely candidate. If your symptom is "freezer icing up despite defrost heater working," the defrost temperature sensor may be the culprit — a different part number. Check your refrigerator's parts diagram to confirm the correct sensor location for your specific symptom.
Does this sensor fit my Kenmore refrigerator?
On many Kenmore refrigerators, yes — Sears sells Kenmore-branded refrigerators that are manufactured by Frigidaire/Electrolux, Whirlpool, LG, and Samsung. The 240597203 sensor fits Kenmore refrigerators with model numbers beginning with the 253, 106, or 795 prefixes that are Frigidaire/Electrolux-built. Kenmore refrigerators built by other manufacturers (Whirlpool, LG, Samsung) use different sensors. Check the first three digits of your Kenmore model number — if it's 253, 106, or 795 and falls within the compatible model list, this is the correct part.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Frigidaire/Electrolux OEM part, but is manufactured to match the electrical specifications (10K Ohm NTC), probe dimensions (5/16" diameter x 1-3/16" length), wire length (12"), and connector configuration of the original 240597203 temperature sensor used in compatible refrigerators.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer Before Starting Disconnect power at the outlet before beginning. Wear work gloves. Turn the two screws located at the bottom corners of the front panel counter-clockwise until they come out, then slide the panel up and off the dryer to access the door switch. Locate the wires connected to the old door switch and disconnect them, noting their positions. Remove the mounting screws or clips securing the old switch and pull it free. Install the new WE04X28977 in the same position, reconnect the wires to their original positions, and secure the mounting hardware. Slide the front panel back into place and secure the two bottom corner screws. Restore power and test that the dryer starts normally with the door closed, and stops if the door is opened during a cycle. Tools needed: screwdriver, wrench, pliers.
Frequently Asked Questions
My dryer won't start. Is this the part I need?
Yes, this is one of the most common symptoms of a failed door switch. Since this switch tells the control board whether the door is closed, a damaged or malfunctioning switch can prevent the dryer from starting even when the door is fully shut.
My dryer door won't close properly. Could this be the same part?
Yes, a damaged door switch — often from excessive force when closing the door over time — can cause the door to not latch or close correctly, in addition to preventing the dryer from starting.
Is this a difficult repair?
It's a straightforward repair for a confident DIYer, requiring a screwdriver, wrench, and pliers, along with some slight disassembly of the dryer's front panel to access the switch.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by GE to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It matches the original switch design and mounting configuration of the door switch originally installed in your dryer.

W10500004 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Refrigerator Bottom Door Hinge & Cam Kit (Right, Gray)
The W10500004 is a genuine Whirlpool OEM bottom door hinge and closing cam kit for the right side fresh food door on Whirlpool, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral refrigerators. This kit combines two related components: the bottom hinge, which supports the door's weight and lets it swing open and closed, and the closing cam, a plastic component that gives the door its final "pull" to close firmly on its own once you've pushed it most of the way shut.
Finished in Apollo Gray, this kit measures approximately 4.65" x 4.49" x 2.24" and weighs about 0.34 lbs. The plastic closing cam is the part most prone to wear — after years of use it can flatten out or crack, losing the contoured shape that pulls the door the rest of the way closed. A worn cam or hinge typically shows up as a door that won't close fully on its own unless you push it firmly shut, or a door that feels loose, sags, or doesn't swing smoothly on its hinge. It directly replaces AP5656407, 2684526, PS5573850, W10249949, W10257197, and W10257209.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator Before Starting — A New Cam Mounting Screw Is Required, Sold Separately Disconnect power at the outlet before beginning. Wear work gloves. Remove the top hinge cover, then remove the top hinge support to free the top of the door. Lift the door up and off the bottom hinge support to remove it completely — this is easier with a second person supporting the door's weight. Remove the old, worn closing cam and hinge from the bottom support. The manufacturer specifies that mounting the new closing cam requires a new screw, which is not included in this kit and must be ordered separately. Install the new W10500004 hinge and cam onto the bottom support, applying a small amount of lubricant such as petroleum jelly to the cam surface to help it move smoothly against the door once reassembled. Set the door back onto the bottom hinge support, making sure it seats correctly on the new cam. Reinstall the top hinge support and top hinge cover. Restore power and test the door by opening it partway and letting go — it should swing the rest of the way closed on its own if the cam is seated and lubricated correctly. Tools needed: 5/16" nut driver or socket, ratchet, small flat-blade screwdriver, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My door won't close all the way unless I push it. Is this the right part?
Yes, this is the classic symptom of a worn closing cam. When the cam is new, its contoured shape gives the door that final "pull" to swing closed on its own once you've pushed it most of the way shut. As the cam wears flat or cracks over years of use, it loses that pulling action, leaving the door to stay open unless you close it firmly by hand.
Do I need to buy anything else along with this kit?
Yes — per Whirlpool's own specifications, mounting the new closing cam requires a new mounting screw, which is sold separately and not included in this kit. Order that screw at the same time to avoid a delay partway through the repair.
Should I lubricate anything during installation?
Yes, it's recommended. Applying a small amount of lubricant, such as petroleum jelly, to the cam surface helps it move smoothly against the door once everything is reassembled, and can extend the life of the new cam by reducing friction wear.
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 hinge design, cam shape, and Apollo Gray finish of the bottom door hinge and cam kit originally installed on your refrigerator.

XPARTCO W10820036 Washer / Dryer Door Switch
The XPARTCO W10820036 is an aftermarket replacement door switch used on select Whirlpool-built combination washer/dryer units. This switch is a safety interlock: it detects whether the door is fully closed and latched, and it signals the control board that it is safe to run the motor, heater, and water valves. On a combo unit, this single interlock typically governs both the wash and dry portions of the cycle, since both functions share the same drum and door. If the switch fails to detect a closed door — or fails electrically even when the door is closed properly — the control will refuse to start the cycle, or will stop mid-cycle if the switch drops out while running.
Typical failure modes for a part like this include a cracked or worn switch lever that no longer depresses fully when the door closes, internal contacts that have pitted or burned out from years of cycling, and a housing that has come loose from its mounting bracket so the plunger no longer lines up with the door strike. A functioning door switch should click firmly when the door closes and should show continuity across its terminals only when the lever is pressed.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO W10820036 Washer/Dryer Door Switch is a door safety interlock switch for select Whirlpool-built combination washer/dryer units. It fixes units that won't start with the door closed, stop mid-cycle, or fail to register the door as closed even when it's latched properly. Note: this listing was built from general parts knowledge because current supplier and cross-reference data was not available at build time — see the note below before publishing.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Washer/dryer combo won't start even though the door is fully closed
Cycle stops partway through, as if the door had been opened
Door doesn't feel like it's "clicking" or latching the way it used to

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug The Unit Before Starting Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker before beginning. Wear work gloves. Access to the door switch on combo units is typically through the front or top control panel — photograph the wiring harness before disconnecting it so you can match it exactly on reassembly. Confirm the new switch's lever aligns with the door strike before securing the mounting screws, and test for a firm, positive click when the door closes before restoring power and running a cycle. If your unit's service manual is available, follow its specific access and mounting steps rather than relying solely on general guidance.
Frequently Asked Questions
My combo unit won't start. Is this definitely the door switch?
It's one of the most common causes when a unit refuses to start with the door visibly closed. Before replacing the switch, confirm the door is latching fully and that nothing (a stray sock, a bent strike bracket) is preventing it from closing all the way. If the door latches firmly but the unit still won't start, or a multimeter shows no continuity across the switch terminals when the lever is pressed, the switch itself is the likely culprit.
Does this switch control both the washer and dryer functions?
On combination washer/dryer units, yes — a single door and drum typically serve both functions, so one door switch acts as the safety interlock for both the wash and dry portions of the cycle.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Whirlpool OEM part, but is manufactured to match the mounting, switching function, and door-interlock behavior of the original W10820036 switch used in compatible combination washer/dryer units.
