Michael L Federal Way , WA September 07, 2015 Appliance: Samsung Refrigerator RF197ACRS/XAA Samsung Refrigerator Rf197acrs/Xaa / : Ice maker became dislodged and then damaged. How to replace Refrigerator Ice Maker Assembly. I first removed the ice maker and tried to operate the frig. The frig control panel does not function without the ice maker installed. I bought and installed a new ice maker. An easy job after you take off the freezer door and remove the trays. 1 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 15-30 minutes
