What Makes Samsung Ice Maker Repairs Different
On most Samsung models the ice maker and bucket sit in the fresh-food compartment, while some models put the ice maker in the freezer; either way the freezer must reach 0°F or colder for ice to form. Source: Samsung US - Samsung ice maker is not working
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
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
- 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.
