Installation Instructions

The following steps outline the general procedure for replacing the ice maker assembly. Specific refrigerator models may vary, so consult your refrigerator's service manual if available.

Prepare for Installation:
- Unplug the refrigerator from the electrical outlet to ensure no power is supplied to the unit.
- Turn off the water supply to the refrigerator.
- Empty the ice bin and remove any existing ice.
Access the Old Ice Maker:
- Locate the ice maker compartment, typically in the freezer section.
- Depending on your model, you may need to remove shelves or other components to gain access.
Remove the Old Ice Maker:
- Carefully disconnect the electrical connector from the old ice maker. Note its orientation.
- Unscrew any mounting screws holding the ice maker in place. There are typically 2-3 screws.
- Gently slide or pull the old ice maker assembly out of its position.
Install the New Ice Maker:
- Align the new SAMSUNG DA97-07549B Ice Maker Assembly with the mounting brackets.
- Secure the new ice maker with the mounting screws. Ensure it is firmly in place.
- Connect the 12-wire electrical connector to the new ice maker, ensuring a secure fit.
Final Steps:
- Replace any shelves or components that were removed.
- Turn on the water supply to the refrigerator.
- Plug the refrigerator back into the electrical outlet.

Operating Instructions

After installation, the ice maker will begin its cycle automatically. It may take several hours for the freezer compartment to reach the optimal temperature for ice production.

Initial Ice Production: The first batch of ice may take 12-24 hours to produce.
Discard First Batches: It is recommended to discard the first 1-2 batches of ice to flush out any potential manufacturing residues from the water lines and the new ice maker.
Reset Button: Some models may have a reset button on the ice maker. If ice production does not start after several hours, locate and press the reset button (often a small blue button) for a few seconds.
Ice Level Sensor: The ice maker has a sensor that detects the ice level in the bin. When the bin is full, the ice maker will stop producing ice until the level drops.

Maintenance

Regular Cleaning: Periodically clean the ice bin and the exterior of the ice maker with a mild soap and water solution. Ensure the refrigerator is unplugged before cleaning.
Water Filter: Ensure your refrigerator's water filter is replaced regularly according to the manufacturer's recommendations to maintain water quality and prevent mineral buildup in the ice maker.
Inspect for Leaks: Occasionally check for any signs of water leaks around the ice maker or water lines.

Troubleshooting

Problem	Possible Cause	Solution
No ice production	Refrigerator not plugged in or power outage. Water supply turned off or kinked line. Freezer temperature too high. Ice maker reset needed. Ice bin full sensor obstructed.	Check power connection. Ensure water supply is on and lines are clear. Verify freezer temperature is set correctly (typically 0°F / -18°C). Press the ice maker reset button. Clear any obstructions from the ice level sensor arm.
Slow ice production	Low water pressure. Clogged water filter. Freezer temperature not optimal.	Check household water pressure. Replace the water filter. Ensure freezer temperature is set to 0°F / -18°C.
Clicking sound from ice maker	Internal gears or components are damaged.	This often indicates a mechanical failure within the ice maker. If troubleshooting steps do not resolve the issue, the ice maker may require replacement.

If these troubleshooting steps do not resolve the issue, contact Samsung customer support or a qualified appliance technician.
