Samsung Ice and Freezer Features
How Samsung Ice Makers and Freezers Work
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
Samsung Symptoms and First Checks
- 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 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
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.
