Additional Information

The Ice Maker Assembly (4317943) is an all-in-one kit that replaces the ice maker unit in many refrigerators. It is designed to fit a range of models, making it a versatile part for maintenance and repair needs. Please note, the ice maker doesn't include the shut-off arm. Transfer the arm from your original ice maker, or order the arm listed for your model.

The ice maker hooks up to the water supply line and fills an ice tray with water, which is then frozen into ice cubes. Once the ice is frozen, the cubes are ejected into a storage bin, and the process repeats. Common issues this part resolves include an ice maker that no longer produces ice, produces very little ice, or has started to leak water. If your ice cubes seems small, it could be time for a new water filter. You can find your filter here.

When installing, ensure that the refrigerator is unplugged and the water supply is turned off. It is recommended to consult the refrigerator's manual and follow the specific instructions for the ice maker replacement. Always ensure that the new ice maker is properly aligned and securely connected to the water supply line for optimal performance.
