Samsung Refrigerator Ice Dispenser Auger Motor & Case Assembly (Part # DA97-12540G)

Restore seamless, effortless ice dispensing to your kitchen with this Genuine OEM Samsung Ice Dispenser Auger Motor Case Assembly. This heavy-duty mechanical module (Part # DA97-12540G) sits tucked inside the door or ice-room enclosure, acting as the primary drive engine for your refrigerator’s ice dispensing system. When you press your cup against the actuator pad on the front door, the electronic control board energizes the high-torque motor inside this case, spinning the metal auger screw inside your ice bucket to crush or drive solid ice cubes straight down the chute.

Manufactured directly by Samsung, this complete factory-certified assembly comes fully enclosed within its protective, moisture-resistant outer case housing, featuring factory-lubricated internal reduction gears and the integrated electrical wire harness connector. If your refrigerator makes ice perfectly but refuses to dispense it, emits a loud grinding or whining noise when you press the dispenser pad, or if the drive fork at the back of the ice room won’t spin, the internal gear teeth or motor windings inside this assembly have stripped or seized.

Quick Info:

• Compatibility: Precision-engineered exclusively for Samsung French-door and side-by-side refrigerators (commonly utilized in popular series like RF28HFEDBSR, RF28HMEDBSR, and RF25HMEDBSR).

• Fixes Common Issues: Resolves “ice won’t dispense” complaints, loud grinding or buzzing noises during dispensing, structural cracking of the outer motor housing, and internal electrical short-circuits.

• All-In-One Module: Contains the high-torque auger drive motor, heavy-duty internal gear reduction train, protective structural casing, and factory wire harness plug.

• Difficulty: Intermediate. A highly manageable DIY repair requiring a Phillips screwdriver and partial disassembly of the ice bucket housing or door shroud.

Pro Tip: When an auger motor completely seizes up, it is frequently caused by a slow, unnoticeable air leak around the ice room door seal. If warm, humid room air leaks into the freezing ice compartment, it condenses and creates a thick sheet of frost over everything. This frost locks the ice bucket’s metal auger screw solid. If someone continuously holds down the door dispenser pad while the auger is frozen solid, the motor will stall, overheat, and instantly strip its internal plastic gear teeth. Always verify your ice room door flap seals tightly flat after installing this new assembly!

Installation & Safety Steps:

1. Isolate Power: You must completely unplug the refrigerator’s power cord or shut off the main house circuit breaker to prevent high-voltage shocks while handling the motor terminal wires.

2. Remove the Ice Bucket: Pull out and completely remove the ice storage bin from the freezer or door compartment.

3. Unbolt the Case Housing: Locate the mounting screws holding the vertical plastic partition wall or motor casing shroud in place at the rear of the ice chamber. Unthread the screws and gently pull the housing module forward.

4. Swap the Harness: Press the release clip on the electrical wiring harness to disconnect the old, failed motor. Plug the new genuine Samsung assembly into the factory wiring loom, align the drive helix fork with the rear tracks, and screw the protective case tightly back into position.

Are you replacing this assembly today because your ice dispenser is making a loud grinding sound, or does the motor stay completely silent when you press the glass actuator?
