Product review (5 stars): Direct replacement for OEM ice tray for ice maker DA97-05037A
The ice maker tray flexes when dumping finished ice. After several years, the end spindle snaps off. A service call would cost a lot of money, as would a new ice maker (DA97-05037A). Thanks to Amazon, a replacement ice tray (DA63-02284B) is available. It is a bit tricky to replace. For the benefit of anyone attempting this repair:

1. Turn off the ice maker using the control panel button (typically inside of the refrigerator near the top).
2. Empty and remove the top freezer drawer. It makes it much easier to access the ice maker. Clean the drawer while you can.
3. Remove front plate from ice maker (if yours has one, mine didnt).
4. There is a small rubber hose running to the ice tray. This is the temperature sensor cable. The temperature sensor is held under a rubber block (DA61-01800A) at the end of the tray. Snap the cover (DA63-02183A) off the rubber block and remove the block and sensor.
5. Insert the sensor and rubber block into the new ice tray. Snap on the cover.
6. Remove the motorized unit (DA59-00294A) from the ice maker. There is a push-tab on the left side. Push the tab up, and the motorized unit falls.
7. Insert the new ice tray into the rectangular motorized slot. Be careful of the rubber hose running to the ice tray. Holding the ice tray and the motorized unit, align the ice tray spindle to the hole at the back of the ice maker assembly. Keeping the spindle aligned with the hole, snap the motorized unit back into place.
8. Turn on the ice maker using the control panel button.
9. Press the ice maker reset button. This is located on the bottom side of the motorized unit. Press the button for several seconds until the ice maker activates.
10. The ice maker will cycle through a process. Youll see the motorized unit rotate the ice tray, and near the end of rotation, the ice tray will flex. The flexing action is what ejects the ice cubes. Eventually, the flexing action will break something. Watch it a few times, and youll understand.
