What a Samsung Technician Deals With
A fridge-compartment ice maker harvests a tray roughly every 45 to 65 minutes and a freezer ice maker about every 85 minutes, and the bucket holds only about 2 pounds before the bucket-full sensing stops production. Source: Samsung US - Samsung ice maker is not working
The fill valve needs at least 20 psi of supply pressure; low pressure shows up as small or shattered cubes, and on dual ice maker models a misplaced scoop holder can block the bucket sensor and halt production. Source: Samsung US - Samsung ice maker is not working
Common Samsung Ice Maker and Freezer Problems
- 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
- 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
The Samsung Ice Maker Test
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.
