Samsung DA61-01800A Refrigerator Temperature Sensor Bracket OEM Part

Samsung refrrigerator. it started when the setting was on cubes but was putting out crushed ice. then months later the water refill was running down into the ice bucket causing a massive block of ice in the bucket. look closely at the first two or three cubes in the ice tray after they unload. mine were not dumping and staying in the tray. when the water refill kicked on it would overfill the tray (because of the leftover cubes remaining in the tray) and would run down into the ice bucket and the problem would repeat itself over and over. the new flex tray from appliance parts was the fix. the old one had lost some of its flex and was not letting go of those first three cubes causing the problem. installed new tray and now have nice full cubes in my ice tea. the parts arrived in TWO days!! thanks APP

Took the ice maker out inserted the loose sensor into the sensor bracket then put the senor bracket cover on and place the assembly into the ice maker. You can find youtube videos as to the process. I found it much easier to remove the ice maker to get the parts into their correct places. Now ice is in production as it should be all loose.

Replaced missing parts that positioned sensor underneath ice cube tray. These two parts had fallen into ice maker a while back and I discarded them thinking it was packing material.

I replaced the sensor bracket and cover plus the ice cube tray

I slid the hard plastic "cover" over the foam "sensor bracket", placed the sensor in the obvious molded spot in sensor bracket, pressed the cover/bracket assembly onto the ice cube tray so it would make good contact and snapped it into place, and finally ran the sensor wire through it's guides. Works great! The most time consuming part of the job was removing the freezer contents and then the drawers so I could lean into the compartment and see where everything went. But that was a good excuse to clean everything, and the freezer now looks "good as new".
