Side-by-Side (SxS) Refrigerator 10-Cube Ice Maker Assembly

Restore a steady, automated supply of ice to your kitchen with this Factory Certified Refrigerator Ice Maker Assembly. This premium replacement module features a high-capacity 10-cube mold tray designed specifically for side-by-side models equipped with indoor ice and water dispensers. It manages the entire process automatically: signaling the inlet valve for water, holding it until frozen solid, heating the mold slightly to release the cubes, and ejecting them into your storage bin until full.

As a Factory Certified Part, this assembly is built using high-grade, temperature-resilient components engineered to meet strict original equipment specifications. If your refrigerator is producing no ice, dropping undersized or hollow cubes, or stalling mid-cycle, the internal motor gears or mold thermostat have likely failed.

Quick Info:

• Compatibility: Precision engineered for several major brands of side-by-side refrigerators with in-door dispensers (verify your specific model number for compatibility).

• Fixes Common Issues: Resolves “no ice” conditions, jammed or frozen harvest fingers, leaking water in the freezer, and ice makers that won’t cycle.

• Capacity: 10-cube crescent mold configuration.

• Difficulty: Novice. A straightforward DIY repair requiring only basic hand tools and minor disassembly.

Tools Needed:

• Multi-screwdriver (usually a 1/4″ nut driver attachment or Phillips head)

Pro Tip: This specific replacement assembly does not include a new shut-off bail arm. When you remove your old ice maker, do not throw it away immediately! Carefully pull the metal or plastic bail arm out of its mounting pivot sockets on the old control head and click it directly into the matching sockets on your new ice maker before mounting it to the freezer wall.

Installation & Safety Guidelines:

1. Isolate Power & Water: You must completely unplug the refrigerator (or shut off the house circuit breaker) and turn off the refrigerator’s dedicated water supply valve before beginning.

2. Remove the Old Module: Slide out the ice storage bin. Unplug the plastic wiring harness clip from the freezer wall socket, loosen the mounting screws holding the old assembly frame, and lift it off the brackets.

3. Swap the Bail Arm: Transfer the shut-off bail arm from the old unit to the new one.

4. Mount the New Assembly: Plug the wiring harness firmly into the wall socket until it clicks, hang the module onto the mounting screws, verify the rear water fill tube aligns perfectly with the fill cup, and tighten the screws back down.

Are you swapping this out today because the tray coating on your old ice maker has started peeling, or has the mechanical harvest motor stopped spinning altogether?
