How to Troubleshoot & Replace Samsung AP4172188 / DA97-00258C Refrigerator Icemaker Assembly

I took the ice bin out and pushed the door switch in. This allowed me to see that the ice tray wasn't rotating all the way over to dump cubes in the bin. The motor kept trying, but the tray kept getting stuck. I ordered a new ice maker as a result of seeing that. It took me about 10 minutes to remove and replace the unit. Removing two screws in the front of the freezer ceiling allowed me to slide the plastic bracket forward and remove it. I was then able to pop the cable harness free and remove the old ice maker. I'm glad I did this! I'm sure I saved myself a few hundred dollars by not having to call a repairman. 

The first repair was performed by an appliance specialist at my home. The cost of the unit plus labor was approximately $160. When that unit failed the repairman inspected it at his cost and suggested I replace it again. He suggested I do it myself and save some money. I purchased the part and promptly received it from Appliance Parts and within 15 minutes has the unit up and running. The unit appears to perform better than the original ice maker and the first replacement. 

Ordered a new icemaker. two screws and it was out 

Got the replacement part shipped easily and quickly. I spent a little more with your site than others but the videos you made were such a value I decided to spend more with you guys. Nice job and thanks 

Ordered a new one, remove 2 screw, unplugged the wire and reinstall the new 1. 

Ordered 2 new rails. It was super easy to replace the broken rails and now my cold storage bin doesn't fall down when I open the drawer! Still waiting for a part from a different company for my icemaker. Should of ordered from AppliancePartPros because these other parts came the next day! 

Ordered a new ice maker and received it in two days. Repair is easy and only requires a phillips screwdriver. Remove the two front screws to the ice maker housing, pull the whole unit out and install new ice maker into housing, reconnect the power cord and reinstall the housing unit. Took me five minures. Just make sure you dont cover up the water outlet hose. 

I replaced the ice maker unit. It was really easy to less than 10 minutes to install. My only problem is now is that I don't have water going to the ice maker or the water dispenser. I'm not sure if I have to replace the water inlet valve or if the line is clogged somewhere from not replacing the water filter when I should have. 

Replaced the motor assembly part as advised here. Part was east to replace, although the front clip broke off pretty easily. Didn’t stop it from working perfectly though! 

We ordered and replaced the Ice Maker Assembly.
