What Makes Samsung Ice Maker Repairs Different
On most Samsung models the ice maker and bucket sit in the fresh-food compartment, while some models put the ice maker in the freezer; either way the freezer must reach 0°F or colder for ice to form. Source: Samsung US - Samsung ice maker is not working
The ice maker has its own automatic defrost; Samsung tells owners not to defrost it themselves, and a sheet of ice over the ice maker or a stuck, frozen bucket calls for service. Source: Samsung US - Samsung ice maker is not working
Common Samsung Ice Maker and Freezer Problems
- Small or hollow cubes. Small or shattered cubes point to low water pressure, so check that the supply valve is fully open, the line is not kinked and the filter is not restricting flow. Source: Samsung US - Samsung ice maker is not working
- 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
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.
