Know Your Samsung Ice Maker
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
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 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
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.
