The Bethel list starts with companies that name Samsung, followed by other appliance repair companies that work on ice makers and freezers.

Samsung Ice and Freezer Features
How Samsung Ice Makers and Freezers Work
The gasket between the ice compartment and the ice bucket must sit flush, because a gap lets warm air in and causes frost, slushy ice and dripping. Source: Samsung US - Frost forms in the Samsung freezer, refrigerator, or ice bucket
What Samsung Says to Check First
- Ice maker frozen / ice buildup. Samsung says not to defrost the ice maker yourself, and a frozen-over ice maker or a bucket that will not pull out needs service. Source: Samsung US - Samsung ice maker is not working
- Ice maker leaking. Check that the gasket between the ice chute and the ice bucket sits flush, since a gap melts ice and causes drips. Source: Samsung US - Water leaks in a Samsung refrigerator
Before You Call: The Samsung Reset
With the ice bucket removed on most models, press and hold the Test button on the ice maker until it chimes (up to about 10 seconds); one chime means it passed, several chimes mean it needs service, and no chime or movement calls for cutting power for 2 minutes and trying again.

Alaska has no separate appliance repair license category; its certificates of fitness and contractor licenses cover plumbing, gas piping, electrical and construction work rather than appliance repair itself. Source: Mechanical Inspection - License Requirements (Alaska DOLWD)
In Alaska, you can check a license with the Alaska Division of Corporations, Business and Professional Licensing - License Search or report a problem to the Alaska Department of Law, Attorney General's Consumer Protection Unit.
