Product review (5 stars): Great repair for older Samsung refrigerator at a great price
I took a chance that the ice cube maker was the only thing my older Samsung refrigerator needed to make better ice cubes. I found the device as an open box listing from Warehouse Deals. After watching several YouTube user videos, I changed out my original equipment for this replacement. One tip that this would fit was the same brackets on the top of the device that you can compare when you take off your original icemaker module. Another tip is to count how many ice cubes are made. Mine made 8 at a time and this also makes 8. The top said DA97 of this replacement and my original equipment listed nothing on top. I elected to change out my saddle water valve that feeds the water from my water main to the refrigerator. You want to make sure the water flow is fully open for this to work as intended. While buying this 1/4 inch water shut off at an appliance parts store, an older consumer was present asking the counterperson about Samsung refrigerator ice makers. The counterperson said that there were almost 20 variations of this type of equipment. I was extra pleased when several hours after I connected the module and turned the water back on, I heard the mechanical icemaker sounds of dumping the new ice cubes! One suggestion of the YouTube videos is to initialize the new module by using the test button that is on the front lip of the device. That seems to link up the refrigerator brain with the new part. It just worked for me. A great buy from Warehouse Deals, aided by useful consumer research on the Internet and YouTube, equals a very satisfied reviewer.
