How Samsung Ice Makers and Freezers Work
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
Samsung Symptoms and First Checks
- 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
- 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
Before You Call: The Samsung Reset
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.
