DA97-00258H - Samsung Refrigerator Ice Maker

The DA97-00258H (Samsung Ice Maker) is a genuine part manufactured by Samsung for use in their refrigerators. This part is sometimes referred to as the ice production unit or ice generator. This component is responsible for the production and dispensing of ice cubes in your appliance.

The ice maker operates by filling a mold with water, freezing it into cubes, and then ejecting them into the ice bin. This process is initiated when you activate the ice maker, triggering a valve that allows water to flow into the mold. Once the water is frozen into cubes, a heating element is activated to slightly warm the mold, facilitating the easy ejection of the ice cubes. A motor-driven ejection arm then pushes the ice cubes out of the mold and into the ice bin.

If your refrigerator is not producing ice, or the ice cubes are smaller or larger than usual, it may indicate a problem with the ice maker. Similarly, if the ice maker is making noise or leaking water, it could be a sign of a malfunctioning component.

Before purchasing the DA97-00258H ice maker, please verify that it is compatible with your Samsung refrigerator model. It is crucial to ensure that the replacement part matches the original to maintain the functionality of your appliance.
