What a Samsung Technician Deals With
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
Common Samsung Ice Maker and Freezer Problems
- Freezer not freezing. Set the freezer to 0°F or colder and allow up to 28 hours after a setting change before judging the temperature. Source: Samsung US - Cooling issues with Samsung refrigerator or freezer
- Frost buildup in freezer or ice bucket. Look for doors that do not close fully, overstuffed shelves, hot food and blocked vents, and on door ice makers check that the bucket gasket sits flush. Source: Samsung US - Frost forms in the Samsung freezer, refrigerator, or ice bucket
Testing or Resetting a Samsung Ice Maker
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.
