How Samsung Ice Makers and Freezers Work
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
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
Samsung Symptoms and First Checks
- 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.

Reading a Samsung Error Code
| Code | What it means |
|---|---|
| 40E / 40C | Ice room fan error. Source: Samsung US - Samsung refrigerator error codes |
| 39E / 39C | Ice maker function 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 |
