Samsung Ice and Freezer Features
How Samsung Ice Makers and Freezers Work
On most Samsung models the ice maker and bucket sit in the fresh-food compartment, while some models put the ice maker in the freezer; either way the freezer must reach 0°F or colder for ice to form. 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
What Samsung Says to Check First
- 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
- 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
The Samsung Ice Maker Test
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.
