This wire harness connects the ice maker's cutter grid to the appliance's electrical system, supplying power so the heated grid can slice the ice slab into cubes. Replacing a damaged harness helps restore consistent cube separation and production.
- Routes electrical power to the cutter grid/heating wires
- A failed, loose, or heat-damaged harness may prevent the grid from warming
- Common symptoms may include whole sheets or large chunks in the bin, cubes not separating, or intermittent/slow ice production
- Visual signs can include melted/discolored grid connectors or broken/brittle conductors
What's included: 1 grid wire harness assembly Install notes:
- Disconnect power before servicing; allow the cutter grid to cool completely
- Note wiring/connector orientation; transfer one connection at a time to match original routing
- Seat connectors fully and secure the harness in original clips/standoffs away from sharp edges
- After reassembly, restore power and verify the cutter grid warms during a cycle
