This ice maker is a genuine OEM replacement part for refrigerators. The outer housing, measuring 14 inches by 8 inches, is white in color and made of plastic. The ice maker is in the freezer compartment and works alongside the motor and water valve to freeze water into ice cubes and dispense them as needed. If you are having difficulties making and dispensing ice, hearing unusual noises, or you notice leaking water, the ice maker is likely in need of replacement. These issues can be caused by a build-up of ice in the ice mold or the ice dispenser, physical damage, or general wear and tear from operation. Remove the fasteners securing the faulty icemaker in the freezer and disconnect the wiring harness and water supply line. Place the new ice maker in position and reconnect the wiring harness and water supply line before securing it with the appropriate screws/brackets. Once you are done with the repair, test the ice maker by giving it time to cycle and produce ice.

my ice maker seems to over flow, ans wind up with frozen water in the ice tray. will this part solve the problem?
For model number bl21cl81sns/02
Hello Dan, thank you for contacting us. The water inlet valve requires a minimum of 20 psi to work properly. If the water pressure is too low due to clogging, the valve may not close fully when the power is shut off. As a result, the valve leaks water into the ice maker, causing it to overflow. Check the water supply tube for any clogging or blockages, and clear the tube. If the water tube is clear, you may have a faulty icemaker. You may need to replace the ice maker, part number PS11771287. We hope this helps.
Our ice maker is leaking. I checked and the ice tray has a crack in it. Is it possible to just order the ice tray and not the whole ice maker unit?
Thank you.
For model number B20CS50SNS
Hi Kevin, thank you for reaching out. We have found that the ice tray for your model is not sold separately. You may need to replace the entire ice maker assembly, part number PS8730981, to fix the issue. Good luck with this repair!

My ice maker seems to have stopped making ice. I took out the tray and looked inside. There is a triangular piece that dangles on a metal piece that is inserted into the assembly to the left. It is very loose and moves around a lot. I think it may be broken but I can’t tell, and I’d like to repair it myself if possible (it feels as if the metal piece isn’t properly mounted inside the assembly). Any help appreciated!
