Top-selling replacement parts for Dacor bottom-mount refrigerators

• Ice maker assembly. The ice maker is a complete assembly that contains the ice mold and the control device. It plugs into a wire harness in the freezer or the ice compartment. The ice maker receives water from the inlet water valve and then holds the water in the ice mold until the water is frozen solid. It then automatically ejects the ice and refills to continue the process until the ice storage bucket is detected as full.
• Light switch. The light switch turns the refrigerator light on and off and monitors door position. Replace the light switch if it doesn't work.
• Compressor overload/PTC relay. The overload/PTC relay starts the compressor motor. It has 2 components: an overload protector that trips when the compressor motor overheats or locks up, and a relay. The relay completes the circuits to both the Start Windings and the Run Windings in the compressor motor. Once the motor is started, the relay de-energizes the Start Winding circuit so the compressor motor continues to run using just the run windings.
• Thermistor. The thermistor is a temperature sensor within the refrigerator that sends information to the electronic control board.
