DA97-00938J - Samsung Refrigerator Auger

This Samsung Refrigerator Auger Assembly (DA97-00938J) is a genuine part for Samsung refrigerators, ensuring compatibility and seamless operation. The auger, a long helical metal shaft located within the ice cube storage bin, plays a pivotal role in the icemaker's function by transporting ice cubes to the water and ice dispenser. When activated, it rotates, carrying ice cubes to the dispenser or crusher. This assembly includes the auger motor which turns the auger, pushing ice cubes through the dispenser chute, making it essential for automated ice dispensing. However, damage to the auger can lead to failure in dispensing ice or unintentional crushing of the cubes in the storage bin. Besides the motor, the assembly contains multiple parts critical for its operation. Before replacement, it's advisable to store any perishable food items safely as power to the refrigerator will need to be disconnected. Wearing work gloves during the installation process can provide protection to your hands. Symptoms indicating the need for a replacement include the refrigerator's inability to dispense ice or the unintentional crushing of ice cubes. Before proceeding with a purchase, customers are advised to verify their refrigerator's model number to ensure compatibility with this part.
