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 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
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
- Freezer not freezing. Set the freezer to 0°F or colder and allow up to 28 hours after a setting change before judging the temperature. Source: Samsung US - Cooling issues with Samsung refrigerator or freezer
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.
