Samsung Refrigerator Ice Maker Auger Motor DA97-12540D (Replaces DA97-12540K)
DA97-12540D Samsung Refrigerator Ice Maker Auger Motor – Fix Ice Not Dispensing, Slow Dispensing, or Grinding Noises
DA97-12540D Ice Maker Auger Motor – The essential fix for a Samsung refrigerator ice maker that won't dispense ice, dispenses ice slowly, makes grinding or squealing noises when dispensing, or has ice jammed in the dispenser chute. The auger motor drives the auger (spiral blade) that pushes ice from the ice bucket through the dispenser chute when you press the dispenser lever. When the motor fails – due to a burned-out motor, worn gears, or seized bearings – ice won't dispense even though the ice maker is producing ice. Common signs of auger motor failure include no ice dispensing when you press the lever (but you hear the motor trying), slow or intermittent ice dispensing, grinding or squealing noises from the dispenser, or the motor running but no ice coming out. If you've checked for ice jams in the chute and the ice bucket is full but ice won't dispense, the auger motor has likely failed. This genuine OEM Samsung part directly replaces DA97-12540K. Fits Samsung French door and side-by-side refrigerators with in-door ice dispensers. Moderate 30–45 minute DIY repair that restores proper ice dispensing.
âś“ Common Symptoms Fixed
- Ice maker won't dispense ice
- Ice dispenses very slowly or intermittently
- Grinding, squealing, or loud noises when dispensing ice
- Motor runs but no ice comes out
- Ice jams frequently in dispenser chute
- Dispenser makes humming sound but doesn't dispense
- Ice bucket full but ice won't dispense
âś“ Why This Part Fails
The auger motor works hard every time you dispense ice, and over time the motor windings can burn out, the plastic gears can strip, or the bearings can seize. Ice buildup around the auger can also cause the motor to work harder and fail prematurely. If you hear the motor trying to run but no ice dispenses, or you hear grinding noises, the motor has likely failed and needs replacement.
âś“ Compatibility & Fit
This genuine OEM Samsung part directly replaces DA97-12540K. Fits Samsung French door and side-by-side refrigerators with in-door ice and water dispensers. Verify compatibility by entering your model number or checking your refrigerator's parts diagram. Moderate 30–45 minute DIY repair – you'll need to remove the ice bucket and dispenser housing to access the auger motor.
