How Samsung Ice Makers and Freezers Work
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
What Samsung Says to Check First
- Ice dispenser not working. Check that the bucket has loose ice rather than clumps, Child Lock is off, the chute is clear and the bucket clicks into place. Source: Samsung US - Issues with Samsung refrigerator ice dispensers
- 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
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.
