Part 837180 is the genuine clip that holds the ice tray sensor in place on Fisher & Paykel fridges with an automatic ice maker. It is listed for more than ninety models, including RF610, RF605, RF540 and RF522 fridges such as the RF610ADUX5, RF605QDUVX1 and RF522ADUX5, and E402, E442 and E522 models like the E522BRXFDU5. It also appears on some RS series models.

Ice maker making slushy cubes or not harvesting?

The ice maker relies on a temperature sensor on the ice tray to know when the water has frozen and the cubes are ready to tip into the bin. This clip holds that sensor firmly against the tray. If the clip breaks or the sensor works loose, the reading can be wrong, so the ice maker may harvest too early and drop half-frozen cubes or water into the bin, or it may hold the ice and stop making more. A clump of fused ice in the bin, or an ice maker that has gone quiet with water in the tray, is worth checking for a loose sensor.

Refitting the sensor with a new clip

Turn off the ice maker and unplug the fridge, then let any ice on the tray area thaw so you can see the sensor clearly. Remove the old clip, noting how the sensor sits against the tray. Fit the new clip so the sensor is held firmly in full contact with the tray, without pinching its wires. Power up and allow a day for the ice maker to complete a few cycles.
