Samsung Ice Maker Repair - RF4287HARS/XAA AND SIMILAR MODELS 

Thanks for the video. I was seconds away from buying a whole new unit, but got the ice maker to make ice, but not dispense just like everyone else. Had the whining noise of the tines trying to get stuck ice cubes loose. I never knew there was a heating element in the ice maker, but I did always wonder why my ice was wet and now I know why it sticks together. 🤪 I got the fuses, soldered them together and now we have ice flowing. Thanks again!!!

Thank you sooooo much for this video! Ours had the exact same issue and the new fuse fixed it. Unfortunately I tried searching on RU-vid and Google first and could not find anyone describing my problem. I was 2 seconds away from buying an entire unit when I was reading through Amazon reviews and found your comments and the link to this video. Thanks again 👍

Thank you so much for this helpful video! Right before Christmas, our ice maker stopped working. All I could find were diagnostics and instructions on resetting the ice maker. After resetting the ice maker, the ice was still stuck. I used a heat gun to warm the tray enough to force the ice out. However, the ice maker still wouldn't function properly and continued to get stuck. Your video came to the rescue by demonstrating how to remove the ice maker, revealing that the thermal fuse was the problem. After replacing the fuse, it's now working perfectly again. Thank you once more! Your video was incredibly accurate and helpful.

You just saved me about 140 bucks man. I’d like to send you a few bucks at least 20 everybody else. If this is help should send you some money too because this is the real deal here not just replaced the icemaker because one bad thermistor ! I can’t thank you enough for years not wanting to pay $150-$160 for house maker just being stubborn and you fixed it for me for 13.99

Thank you so much for this video and identifying the thermal fuse as a possible issue for the ice maker not working. I watched a dozen+ videos on my Samsung icemaker and not one of them touched on an internal Thermal fuse as the culprit. I was able to bypass the fuse "temporarily" only to rule out the icemaker itself as the issue then ordered new fuses thru your link. Thanks again!!

Man, this was my exact problem. The gears were working so hard against the ice that some of the teeth got stripped. Too bad I didn't see this video before I got rid of my OE unit. Now I'm trying to repair my aftermarket unit, made in China.

My ice maker stopped working; it would not dispense ice but it was present inside the unit. I watched this video and was able to fix it at minimum cost! It turned out the temperature fuse was bad, exactly as this video described. I tested it and did not have continuity between its terminals. I went to eBay and found the replacement in China, so I bought 5 pieces for $5 and they arrived relatively quickly. I disassembled the unit, removed the offending part, and soldered in the replacement fuse. A few hours after installation ice was being dispensed again!! The only thing I want to point out is that those temperature sensors are very delicate. I ruined two of them because they get damaged if they get too hot during soldering. Make sure to test for continuity between the terminals once you are doing soldering. Overall, I fixed it for a few bucks. It is not that difficult but you definitely need to have a bit of a bend for using tools and soldering. I estimate that having hire a technician who would have diagnosed and, more likely, recommended replacing the whole unit, it would have cost about $600. Give it a try and save yourself some money. Worst case scenario, just purchase the entire unit for about $100 and replace it. Thanks for publishing this video!!

Thanks!!! my problem were the fuses! (mine has 2).

I suspect this is issue with mine, but have ordered replacement icemaker anyway. Reason being other parts had failed as well. Icemaker would make ice but not eject it. However, in trying to eject it the unit stripped some of the plastic teeth on the drive gears for the ejector. Unit would just make loud clicking noises but never eject ice. Suspect the loud clicking noises were due to the broken teeth.

Thank you

Thanks for this video. I put in a new thermal fuse and the ice maker is working again! Any advise on clearing the error number for the display screen in the door? Thanks again.

Same ice maker and ice maker is making ice but is also dripping water into ice bin cause ice to block. Would thermal fuse solve this too, perhaps heating is too aggressive? I have swapped ice maker into identical refrigerator to confirm problem is ice maker itself.

Hi, amazon link says no longer available on the fuse, could you possibly provide a different link? Also, it appears the fuse will need soldered on, is that correct?

Do I need to turn close the water supply before removing the icemaker ??

You were too fast, hard to see which part you said. I had to see it veralllll times. Lol. Thank you.

Our has no ice, in it, we changed the water filter and i checked the water valve behind the fridge. The water comes out Great from filling a glass on front door. although the water valve stops short of filling the ice maker. Any other suggestions would be much appreciated. Thank you.

I was having this problem with the ice ejecting. It I would push the reset button, it would work for a couple days and make small, irrregular shaped cubes. Now the unit seems to be completely dead. The reset button appears to have no effect now and I hear zero noises coming from the unit and of course no ice production at all. Do you think this problem has progressed beyond this fuse? Also, is there soldering required to put the new fuse in?

Great video!. I'm having a problem removing the ice tray. I have pushed hard on the tab and pulled the icemaker from the back, but it will not budge. Does anyone have a suggestion?

I took my ice maker apart a small rectangular gasket and a small flat plastic piece fell out. Anyone know where that goes back to?

my arm won't go down, it only goes down and dispenses ice when i reset the icemaker

is it 250V instead of 117V as US voltage?
