What a Samsung Technician Deals With
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
What Samsung Says to Check First
- 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
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. Source: Samsung US - Reset the ice maker in the fridge compartment or Side-by-Side freezer
What Samsung Ice and Freezer Codes Mean
| Code | What it means |
|---|---|
| 8E | Ice maker (freezer) sensor error. Source: Samsung US - Samsung refrigerator error codes |
| 21E | Freezer fan error: the board does not sense the freezer fan turning, usually from a frozen fan or a failed fan motor. Source: Samsung US - Samsung refrigerator error codes |
| 40E / 40C | Ice room fan error. Source: Samsung US - Samsung refrigerator error codes |
Connected Samsung refrigerators can use SmartThings Home Care, which monitors the appliance and pushes alerts with the error code and troubleshooting steps when something goes wrong. Source: Samsung US - Use SmartThings Home Care in the SmartThings app
