What a Samsung Technician Deals With
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
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
- Ice maker leaking. Check that the gasket between the ice chute and the ice bucket sits flush, since a gap melts ice and causes drips. Source: Samsung US - Water leaks in a Samsung refrigerator
- 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
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.
