Samsung Ice Maker Auto Defrost Setting - How To

Don't chip away at the ice in your ice maker. Samsung knew they didn't design this ice maker well, so they made it possible to defrost with the tap of a few buttons.
This method should work for all similar Samsung refrigerator models with the digital display on front.
I have to defrost it about twice a year. It's annoying, but better than going out to buy a new fridge.

On my Flexzone refrigerator/freezer the freezer button position is the same but the lighting button is on the bottom left under the freezer button. The button on the right middle is labeled as flexzone. If I follow your instructions and push both freezer and flexzone it can be placed into defrost. Thanks for your video, I couldn’t find how to defrost the ice maker in any of the Samsung documentation!

Doesn’t work all Samsung vids say to hold different buttons?

[@realryanhomes6858]

Hm, thank you for your comment. Might be that your model is different? I also learned this from a Samsung video. The first time I did it, I held the buttons but the menu didn't pop up. I tried again and held the buttons longer and that worked. Hope you got into your menu.

@@realryanhomes6858 Ok I got it. Hold Power Freeze & Flex Space til lights go off.. then you hit Flex Space repeatedly til you see the Fd cycle up. If you don't see choices cycle up. Then try holding the first two buttons again and then switch to hitting just Flex Space. It should have beeps too when your cycling. Then it has really annoying beeping for 30 mins while defrosting.

Try holding Energy saver and fridge that’s normally the other method for other models

@@blanknaruto1127 Ya i did everything including using a steamer and melting all the ice. Its still not making ice? Water comes out of the water button. But it doesn't seem to be filling the tray or maybe not dumping the tray?

I have this exact model. I tried multiple times and get through the process...get to FD and beeping lasts for 30 mins or so....and then NOTHING happens. It does not defrost.

If you're really frosted over, it might take a couple cycles. A few years ago, before we knew about the defrost cycle, we decided it was broken and just left it for a year. By the time I figured out the defrost cycle, it was almost a complete block of ice. Couldn't even open the ice drawer. Took about 4 cycles before I could even open it. Since then it usually takes 1-2 cycles to really get everything melted.
Of course, it could just be that your ice machine is busted. I'm honestly not a fan of Samsung fridges or washing machines..

You have to do it at least 4 times

[@Honestcritic79]

I don’t have a lighting button.

[@realryanhomes6858]

You might have a different model then. In which case, you probably have a different protocol to defrost..

@@blanknaruto1127 That did it! Thank you!

Never beeps

[@realryanhomes6858]

You might need to hold it down longer, but maybe your unit is broken?
