How Samsung Ice Makers and Freezers Work
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
- 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
