5304458371 - Electrolux Refrigerator Ice Maker

This Electrolux Refrigerator Ice Maker (5304458371) is a genuine part designed for Electrolux, Frigidaire, Gibson, and Westinghouse refrigerators. Also known as an "icemaker," "radius cube maker," or simply an "ice machine," this assembly includes the complete ice maker and housing, such as the cover, fill cup, bail arm, and a four-pin plug harness. The operation of this ice maker relies on a combination of mechanical, electrical, and thermal processes. It consists of an ice mold, a heating element, and a motor-driven ejection arm. Activation prompts the valve to open, allowing water to flow into the ice mold where it freezes into cubes. Following freeze, a heating element slightly warms the mold to loosen the ice cubes, enabling the motor-driven ejection arm to push the cubes out. An auger motor then dispenses the ice for use. Its functionality is supported by sensors and controls, including temperature sensors and full-bin indicators. Regular cleaning and maintenance are recommended to prevent ice blockages and maintain optimal performance.

If you notice slow ice cube production, cubes that are too small, or if there are no ice cubes being made at all, it might indicate that your ice maker is failing and needs replacement. Before purchasing, check your refrigerator's model number to ensure compatibility with this part.
