Know Your Samsung Ice Maker
What Makes Samsung Ice Maker Repairs Different
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 ice maker has its own automatic defrost; Samsung tells owners not to defrost it themselves, and a sheet of ice over the ice maker or a stuck, frozen bucket calls for service. Source: Samsung US - Samsung ice maker is not working
What Samsung Says to Check First
- 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
- Ice maker frozen / ice buildup. Samsung says not to defrost the ice maker yourself, and a frozen-over ice maker or a bucket that will not pull out needs service. 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.

What Newport Owners Should Know
Most ice maker calls in Newport 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.
Oregon has no license issued specifically for appliance repair that we could confirm, but anyone installing or servicing liquefied petroleum (LP) gas appliances needs an LP gas fitter license from the Oregon State Fire Marshal. Source: Liquefied Petroleum Gas licensing (Oregon State Fire Marshal)
In Oregon, you can check a license with the Oregon Construction Contractors Board Contractor/License Search or report a problem to the Oregon Department of Justice, Consumer Protection.
