This refrigerator ice maker assembly freezes water and automatically ejects cubes into the bin. Replacing a failed unit restores steady, hands-free ice production and helps resolve common ice maker cycling and cube-ejection issues.
- Freezes water in its mold, then harvests and drops finished cubes into the ice bin
- Controls fill and harvest timing for consistent cube production
- Typical failure symptoms: no ice production, unit stuck mid-cycle, cubes not ejecting, or loud clicking/grinding from the drive
- Works with the refrigerator's controls to pause ice making when the bin is full
What's included: Ice maker assembly. Install notes:
- Disconnect power and shut off the water supply before servicing
- Remove the ice bin and any covers; unmount the old ice maker and disconnect its wiring harness
- Transfer any brackets, covers, or guides from the old unit if needed
- Mount the new assembly, reconnect wiring, restore power/water, and allow up to 24 hours for full ice production
Tip: Check the water inlet valve and the fill tube for blockages or ice.

Ice maker stopped working Sean L. • Tavares , FL • August 05, 2018
The ice maker stopped producing ice. The motor just made a periodic spinning noise and the ice maker never filled with water. I ordered a replacement ice maker and the valve just in case. I just ended up replacing the ice maker, which is just two screws and a plug. A couple hours later, the new Ice maker was making ice as good as new.
