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
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.
