Samsung ice makers come in several designs, including Dual Auto Ice Maker (cubed + Ice Bites), in-freezer ice maker, and fridge-compartment (in-door) ice maker, and each one fails in its own way. On the freezer side, Samsung sells side-by-side refrigerator, top-freezer refrigerator, bottom-freezer refrigerator, and convertible upright freezer.
Samsung Ice and Freezer Features
How Samsung Ice Makers and Freezers Work
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
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
Common Samsung Ice Maker and Freezer Problems
- 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
- 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
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.

What Dayton Owners Should Know
Most ice maker calls in Dayton come down to the same handful of causes: water supply and pressure, a frozen fill tube, the water inlet valve, freezer temperature and the ice maker assembly itself.
Nevada has no license class for appliance repair as such; contracting work on gas piping, gas vents and water heaters falls under the State Contractors Board's C-1 plumbing and heating subclassifications. Source: Nevada Administrative Code Chapter 624 (NAC 624.190)
In Nevada, you can check a license with the Nevada State Contractors Board License Search or report a problem to the Nevada Attorney General, Bureau of Consumer Protection.
Questions to Ask a Dayton Repair Technician
