Ice Maker Not Working on Samsung Refrigerator - Check these 8 Things to Get it Working Again

  • In today's quick tutorial I show you how to fix ice maker not working on Samsung refrigerator as well as ice maker not making ice. Now depending on the brand or manufacture of refrigerator you have, some of the things I mention will be located in different locations. Be sure to reference your owners manual for these items.
    Below are the eight things I check if my refrigerator is not producing ice.
    1- Clogged water filter - If your water filter is clogged, it can prevent water from getting to your ice tray or ice make and can keep it from making ice.
    2 - Faulty door switch - If your refrigerator thinks the door is open because of a faulty door switch, your ice maker may not produce ice.
    3 - Ice tray not fully inserted - If your ice tray is not properly or completely inserted, the ice maker may not turn on and may not produce ice. Sometimes ice falls behind my tray and prevents it from fully inserting.
    4 - Kink or damaged water line - Check the back of your refrigerator and check the water line. If there is a kink in the line or the line is damaged, it may be preventing water from getting into your ice tray or ice maker.
    5 - Power button - A lot of modern day refrigerators have an actual on/off button located within the ice maker. Make sure your ice maker is turned on.
    6 - Freezer temp - The ideal temperature for your freezer is 0 degrees F. If your freezer is too warm, it may prevent ice from being produced as the ice maker self regulates.
    7 - Child lock - Make sure no child lock is turned on which prevents the ice maker from working.
    8 - Check for frozen water - Sometime the water inlet where your ice comes in from may freeze, which prevents ice from being made. Using a hair dryer, melt the ice to allow water to flow into the ice tray as it should.
    Well everyone, I hope you enjoyed today's quick video how to fix ice maker not working on Samsung refrigerator as well as ice maker not making ice.

    Its funny because all guides says that move the fridge and check the water line, but NONE of them says "Hey, try to serve water in a glas, if water is coming from there, your water line is ok, you don't need to move the whole freaking fridge"

      Also there are usually 2 intake valves, so just because you have water to your dispenser does not mean that your valve to the icemaker is working

      Thank you for this! My problem was that a part of the water line was frozen. I increased the freezer temp from -2 degrees Fahrenheit to 0 degrees Fahrenheit. Then I used your blow-dryer de-icing method. Worked like a charm!

      My father in law moved the fridge couple inches to pant behind the fridge and then my Fridge started throwing and “EP” error code. Everything still works fine , fridge water dispenser except for the ice. There’s a knocking noise then nothing. No ice in the tray either. Since I have warranty the technician didn’t even bother servicing it just wanted to swap out the whole fridge but i don’t want to do that. I tried unplugging it for a minute to reset and it shows the temperature on the inside of the fridge for a bit then goes back to the error code. I don’t know what it could be

      My parents have the same fridge and the place they bought it from charged them 200 to fix the ice maker then broke shortly after... then they charged them another 500 to fix it again then broke again shortly after.
      Is there any way to get back that money or sue them as I think it's outrageous to charge 700 dollars to not fix the ice make?

    You rock! I had resigned myself to not having ice this summer - just heard the first cubes dropping! I had no idea there was a separate ice maker power button - the indicator inside the fridge said the ice maker was on but when I held the little blue button on the ice maker itself for 3 seconds I felt a humming begin. I also turned the freezer temp down just to be sure. Thanks so much for the great video!

    Your video was spot on. I just went step by step and it solved the problem. My refrigerator model is very similar to the one in the video. It had ice all over the mechanism and I used a hair dryer (great idea) to de-ice it. Then the on button needed to be pressed for 3 secs and now I can hear the sweet sound of falling ice. Thanks very much

      Hair dryer is a dumb idea, you guys are spreading false information and destroying appliances because the heat warps the plastic, therefore destroying the cavity and making unit unrepairable. I work in appliances and have had to educate customers to use steamer, not a hair dryer or a heat gun of any kind since the steamer doesn't heat the plastic enough to melt it unlike heat guns... Videos like these are why appliance companies void warranty.

      Turns out my problem was dirty filter and ice buildup behind the ice bucket.
      While clearing the ice out, I noticed a switch behind the bucket housing that has to engage fully to work, I guess that’s to keep it from pouring water into it when it isn’t freezing properly.

    Great video for explanations. My problem with this and models like it. The ice maker is in the fridge, these style of units, ice makers leak warm air inside and it freezes up. Mine worked a month, under warranty they fixed it, I got 2 months on the 2nd one. Finally found a serviceman who knew what he was talking about and he could fix them and give a one year warranty on the service but he told me dollars to donuts 1.5 year and the seal will fail again. They are junk, all. Get a model with the ice maker in the freezer.

    I was defrosting my ice maker as a preventive measure because it has sometimes frozen up to where I couldn't get the ice drawer out without a lot of trouble. I forgot to turn the ice maker off before I turn the defroster on. I also put hot wet dishcloths at the very back corner to get the ice off of the back. Other than that I didn't do anything and now my ice maker doesn't work. I tried everything from your video. Would you have any idea what I could or should try next? Thank you!

    Hi. Appreciate the videos VERY much. We have a Samsung that looks very much like the model you're referring to. The ice maker works fine; however, every six hours or so, it makes this weird, repetitive "whooshing" sound like it's having trouble breathing. It lasts about 10 minutes and then stops until the next time. Any ideas? Thanks very much!

    • @JMGENTERPRISES
      @JMGENTERPRISES  ปีที่แล้ว

      So you have changed the filter? Sometimes when my ice gets low I get that whooshing sound you are referring to. However mine usually only last about two minutes. Have you tried unplugging your fridge for a couple minutes then plugging back in? I find a hard reset like that occasionally sometimes helps. Not just fridges but my computer, roomba robots, cell phone and other things 😄

  • @stephaniebean4099
    @stephaniebean4099 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I have the same ice maker unit. Water is dispensing just fine. The ice maker is not filling. Is there a way to check if the freezer fill line is blocked with sediment? Since water dispenses with great pressure, I can rule out the filter. And since water dispenses at all, I can rule out the door switch. Right?

    • @JMGENTERPRISES
      @JMGENTERPRISES  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah, I would say you can rule out the door switch and filter. Have you tried using a hair dryer to ensure no ice is blocking the dispenser?

    • @stephaniebean634
      @stephaniebean634 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      The reset worked and dumped water into the unit, so no ice blocking :) The compartment for the ice maker is too warm. The bottom freezer is also not as cold as it should be. 10-12 degrees instead of -8 it's set for.

      Sorry to say it had nothing to do with the ice maker. We had a slow leak in our compressor. The temperature slowly continued to rise. Now we have a new refrigerator (Whirlpool side by side) for about the same cost as a repair. After removing the lower back panel, I could see areas of corrosion on a couple lines. A repairman diagnosed.
