Save Money Now! (DIY) Samsung Ice Maker Not Making Ice Quick Fix 

Thank you! Mine took two Fd sessions until I could get the tray out, so don't despair if it doesn't work completely the first time. Just re-set it to Fd and let it do another cycle.

Thanks I will do this to my ice maker tomorrow as I have the same fridge and having this problem no ice cheers

Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude, you are a hero! Thank you for posting this video, and thank you for making it so clear to follow!

Thank you so much for this and your other video regarding the ice maker fixes. You have done such a great job explaining and demonstrating. I don't know if my ice maker will get fixed, but at least now I know how to try! Truly appreciate your shared knowledge with no excess video waste time!!!

🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻. Trying this now to get top out. I should’ve come straight to this video like you mentioned, but I could not find it for some reason. Will keep you posted.

Good video man. I have this exact same fridge as the one in your video. I have less salad dressing/Ranch in mine though :) Only issue is- this clears the result of the problem, but not the cause- so the problem occurs again & again & again. I did this exact technique almost 2 years ago- it works for 3-6 weeks each time & then the root issue causes the same problem again. 800-Samsung. Calling them is really the only way for a true solution.

This is great ! very detailed Thank you

Good job. There is a service bulletin on this issue also. Take a flashlite and place it under the tray/ice maker compartment against the wall but pointed up so it shines towards the bottom of the compartment. Look for the lite inside the cavity. If you see the lite inside the cavity buy some rtv silicone and fill the gaps. It seems air gets into the cavity causing moisture and frost will accumulate.

U can buy a cheap steamer for like 12 dollars will melt all the ice like 5 mins works perfect for frozen fridge too

Thank you for the guidance clearing the ice make. The visible ice is gone but the beeper is still going. How do I turn it off?

Thank you….it’s help my Samsung….

Call Samsung and they WILL replace for FREE all the components of your ice maker including the computer board that controls the defrost timer. there is a nationwide recall on defective ice makes I did and the problem is solved

Thank you! Never knew about the forced defrost setting. Will try it tomorrow.

There is a know problem with these makes (ice maker in the refrig section) and another brand Samsung makes. There finally is a kit (2021) that will fix it for good. It cost just under $200. The kit has, new ice maker, new fill tube, complete computer assembly behind the refrig. The problem is: Samsung knew for 5 or more years that the ice makers would freeze up. News report of them freezing from many TV stations, still they were sold to unsuspecting customers. There is suppose to be a free repair if you call Samsung. Possible a class action lawsuit was caused that will get you a free fix, even on several year old Samsung This ice make fix does not cure the water under the bottom door or the foor or regfig that does not cool below 45 degrees (frozen back coils, frozen in-place fan). That is yet another problem with ice forming on the cooling coils and the drain for the defrost that freezes up dripping the defrosted water under the bottom tray/floor. So the $2,300 I spent on my refrig was not worth it. I bought a 5 year warranty that picked up the ice maker problem. Not the coil freezing problem. With the virus, we did not want anyone in the house in 2020. The freezing back panel is repairable for under $100, just a problem that should not happen. It seems the coil freezing is a problem with many refrigs. Federal energy conservation is the problem, they want the refrigs to use as little energy as possible and not totally defrost all the built up ice.

Man my tray must be jammed bad. I FD this thing like 5-7x already and only able to pull out my tray like .25 of an inch if I’m lucky. Any other recommendations?

Thank you..

So, bought a full Samsung kitchen set. About 4 years ago, to date I've replaced the igniter for the gas oven, the water sensor for the dishwasher (didn't work) still out of service. And now in a constant no ice battle with the bloody refrigerator. Samsung technical assistance sucks. I've bought and replaced, repaired everything myself.

New subscriber thanks

Technician did our 3 door Samsung last month. Samsung Ice Maker Repair Kit included new motherboard, drain tube, Y clips and gasket as well as new ice maker. Also some silicone caulking. Took about an hour. I find 6 consecutive Forced Defrosts prior to his arrival.

My screen goes blank but doesn't give me the options. It did however beep constantly. Thoughts?

I have a Samsung 4 door like this but no controls on the door. My control panel is on the flex door. Is there a way to do this with my fridge?

Use a steamer. Not a blowdryer. Could melt components. Ive done both. Steamer takes minutes and does no damage.

I despise my Samsung appliances and their customer service! I will attempt your way but I’m so frustrated with my kitchen set.

What’s the difference in RD vs FD??

What if I put it on fd and it’s beeping at me? 😅

Please advise what is the reason for ice not dispensing while we press the lever fixed on the door.

I think I have the model before this one, the fridge is the same but the front panel is slightly different and I don't think mine has a defrost function :( I'm going to have to empty it and leave it open for a day or so...

Best video yet!

The buttons don’t operate. Is this the same reason ? My sister said that if she’s tries to get ice nothing happens.

great video that was my case Thanks a million

What if there is no build up of ice to remove? Mine is not making ice, but no build up to clean out.

Can you tell me how to defrost the bottom icemaker on this same refrigerator?

Damn you Samsung... This happened to literally all of these until they updated it. They should have done a recall.

Mine stops working but I don’t see any ice jammed anywhere. Everyone reports ice gets stuck. But I have never seen ice stuck/frozen over. Any ideas? I have hit the reset button a few times and it starts working again. It’s like the ice maker starts and stops every so often. This time hitting the reset button isn’t working.

When I get the Samsung in FD mode it keeps beeping.....is this a problem.. ?

What would keep ice from dropping

I have a 3 door Samsung and not able to get ice maker working again. There is no ice build up in the compartment

Do you know what to do if the Fd does not stop? My fridge has been beeping for almost an hour.

do you still get ice up to today? I had the sympton. I removed the stuck ice. But still no ice coming out

DID THAT BRO...NEXT DAY IT WAS DRY AS AN ALABAMA JUDGE,,,,BIT STILL NO ICE

Do you gave to reset ice maker by turning off “fd”?

So, did this. Several times. Clean and dry as the Sahara in there now. Problem is: the ice maker won't make ice. Just sits there. Whenever I defrosted it in the past it would eventually start dropping ice again. it's been three days and still no ice. I suspect the tray is wedged and the entire ice-maker unit may have to be replaced. Water pressure is ample (fills an entire liter in about 12 seconds). Water in the door is fine (obviously). Just.. no ice being made.

Mine can come out but no ice

Dude wont lying about that beep.....phew

As someone else has already mentioned, call Samsung!!! Stop with all the hacks. We’ve all tried them and they don’t last. The problem comes back. I just did the online chat with Samsung and they contacted a service provider in my area to fix the problem for FREE! My fridge is three years old and I do not have the extended service plan either. Give it a shot!

Dry as can be inside maker and reset button doesn’t even make that beep anymore. This is Bullshit after spending $2500 for this POS!

SAMSUNG REFRIGERATOR SUCKS!!!!! NEVER EVER BUY SAMSUNG!!!!!!!!!

You didn't fix anything you just defrosted it, the ice builds up in less than a weeks time. There are lawsuits against Samsung that were won in Florida over this yet Samsung still refuses to recall and give a permanent fix to the owners of these.
