How Samsung Ice Makers and Freezers Work
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
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
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
- Ice maker not making ice. Confirm the freezer is at 0°F or colder, the Ice Off light is not on, the bucket is fully seated and holds only ice, then run the ice maker reset test. Source: Samsung US - Samsung ice maker is not working
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.
