Understanding the Problem
Brief explanation: I do not have a single authoritative cross-reference for Samsung OEM part number 18003054 in my offline database. In many retail and repair listings similar 1800-series OEM numbers are used for ice maker assemblies or related freezer components. Because Samsung uses different internal and supplier numbers, you should confirm the part by matching the number on the part label and your refrigerator model number (usually on a sticker inside the fridge or freezer door). If 18003054 on your seller invoice or label corresponds to an ice maker assembly (the most common match): this part makes and harvests ice, controls the ice-fill cycle and signals the water fill valve. Replacing it fixes no-ice, continuous-fill, or harvest/clicking problems. Follow these diagnostic and repair steps: 1) Verify the part match: - Locate the refrigerator model and serial number on the fridge (inside the fresh-food compartment on the wall or behind a kickplate). - Compare the sticker/label on the old part to the OEM number you were quoted. If unsure, take a photo and confirm with the part seller or Samsung parts diagram for your fridge model. 2) Initial diagnostics (before replacing): - Check power and temperature: ensure freezer is at 0°F (-18°C) and the fridge has power. - Run a diagnostic/advanced service test if your Samsung model supports it — force an ice maker harvest cycle and listen for motor/heater activity. - Inspect for ice blockages in the ice bucket or fill tube; check the water supply line and shutoff valve for proper water flow. - Test the ice maker harness connector for 120VAC (or the expected control voltage for your model) during a harvest/fill cycle—use the service manual for exact voltages. 3) Electrical checks (multimeter): - With the fridge unplugged, disconnect the ice maker harness and measure continuity of the ice maker motor and heater elements per the service manual. A dead motor or open heater/thermostat is a common failure. - Inspect the harness and pins for corrosion, bent pins or melted plastic. 4) Replace the ice maker (if confirmed faulty): - Turn off power at the breaker and shut off the water supply to the refrigerator. - Empty and remove the ice bin and any ice from the area. - Remove the screws or retaining clips that hold the ice maker to the freezer wall and gently pull the ice maker down enough to access the wiring harness and water line. - Disconnect the electrical connector and, if present, the small water fill tube (it usually pulls out or has a small clamp). Note orientation for reinstallation. - Remove the ice maker assembly and transfer any mounting brackets to the new unit if needed. - Install the new unit by reversing removal: connect the harness, reconnect the water tube, position the ice maker and secure with screws/clips, reinsert the ice bin. - Turn water and power back on and put the ice maker into a test/initialization cycle if available. Allow several hours for the first fill and initial harvest cycle to complete. 5) Verify repair: - Confirm the ice maker fills, then harvests and drops ice. If it still doesn't work, re-check the fill valve, water pressure, harness and the control board output to the ice maker. Safety note: always disconnect electrical power and shut off the water supply before removing or testing components. If you are not comfortable working with electrical testing or cutting water lines, hire a qualified appliance technician.
Common Symptoms

Common Causes
- Failed ice maker motor or harvesting heater/thermostat
- Clogged or frozen water fill tube or low water pressure
- Bad electrical connector, harness, or control output

Helpful Repair Tip
Confirm the OEM number by comparing the label on your existing part and the refrigerator model number. To confirm the ice maker specifically, pull the harness and run the fridge’s service diagnostic to force a harvest; if the motor/heater don't activate, the ice maker assembly is likely bad.
Frequently Asked Questions
How can I be sure OEM 18003054 is the right part for my Samsung refrigerator?
Check the sticker inside your refrigerator for the model and serial number and compare the label on your old part to the OEM number. If you bought the part from a supplier, ask them to confirm fitment by model number. A photo of the part and connector pinned to the seller or Samsung parts diagram will also confirm the match.
How long does it take to replace an ice maker and can I do it myself?
A skilled DIYer can typically replace an ice maker in 20–45 minutes (longer if access panels or brackets must be removed). Allow extra time to shut off water, drain remaining water from the fill tube and test the new unit. If you're uncomfortable with electrical testing or water lines, hire a technician.
