How to Fix an Ice Maker in a Samsung Refrigerator

[@razirfish]

This is the only video on the whole internet that explained how to get that thermometer thing back in it's proper location. Thank you so much for posting this video.

[@N-Scale]

Glad it helped Chrissy, Mike

[@ryanlee8361]

I had the exact same problem with my ice tray. It actually looked identical to yours. When I called Samsung to get the correct part number so i could order a new ice maker, they told me the repair would need a technician to come out. Instead of buying a $90 ice maker, I watched your video and spent $4 on the tray, $6 on shipping and only 15 mins to complete the whole thing. Thanks for saving me time and $!

[@N-Scale]

+Ryan Lee Thanks Ryan , Glad to help and glad you saved some bucks. Mike

[@rayhelvy9947]

A follow-up to my last post. The part came on time from appliancepartspros, and it took about 10 minutes to swap out the ice trays and get it back in. (I had already removed the assembly when I ordered the part.) It worked like a charm, and my model, the RS267LBBP makes it easier to make the electrical connection. It took a few seconds to figure out how to hook the assembly back onto the left rear post, which was not visible because the wiring was in the way, maybe twenty seconds or so, but it wasn't that hard. I ran the test and got the tray to flex and refill immediately. Mission accomplished! Good video, Mike!

[@N-Scale]

Glad it worked for you Ray, Thanks , Mike

[@michaelm1592]

Had a problem getting only broken cubes. This tray replacement solution was the perfect fix. Took a total 20 minutes to take off door and do replacement. Thanks!

I came to this video looking for assistance in repairing my Samsung freezer icemaker. I immediately saw I have a different model, however I stayed to watch the entire video because it is so enjoyable and informative to watch. Very good presentation!

[@N-Scale]

Thanks so much. Mike

[@vickystevens1282]

Mike you are my hero! I had the exact problem with my side by side Samsung model RS277ACRS_XAA . This happen when I was out of town and water ended up leaking onto my hardwood floor which ended up causing damaged it. Our well water is very hard and over time the ice tray gets mineral deposits. The mineral deposits interfere with the ice tray emptying. Getting the ice collection bucket out was my biggest challenge. Being a woman I own several trusty blow dryers. When heat is applied in the optimal direction - ice is no competition to a determined grandma on a mission. Bless you Mike for taking time to make your video - you are a lifesaver. I'm Forever grateful, Happy woman and a appreciative Acute Critical Care Registered Nurse from Idaho, Ms. Vicky

[@N-Scale]

+Vicky Stevens Thanks so much Ms Vicky. H am so glad when I can help someone as you likely are. Thanks , Mike

[@taritavirtue]

you are a GENIUS and absolute gentleman for posting this video! i cannot thank you enough. your camera angles were fantastic and easy to follow step-by-step instructions truly saved my butt. in my impatience i thought, woo-hoo i can figure this out now... but like an impatient jerk... i installed the ice maker assembly with the cord up the middle instead of on the side and over the top. thank goodness i rewatched the rest of your video instead of thinking i had it all figured out. some people read assembly instructions while others dive head first and then wonder why so many parts are left over. like i said, you saved me! i immediately ran back into the kitchen, pulled out the assembly and re-routed the cord correctly. thank you so much!! crossing my fingers this fixes my problem. unlike you, my ice tray wasn’t cracked, but if it were, i would have tried to repair it just like you did -> so seeing you admit that and show your work product cracked me up. 2 giant thumbs up 👍, i saved your video in several places and immediately subscribed! you are truly wonderful and i wish you a blessed life.

Mine was stopped at the twisted tray position (kind of a scary thing to see for the first time). Thanks to you I learned how to remove the maker, how to remove the gears (a gear was out of place) and the reset button. Thanks, you saved me a lot of time and money! It took me half an hour.

[@rayhelvy9947]

I decided to look at this, thinking to get some general help with my ice maker problem. It turned out that this was my exact issue: a cracked tray, where I could not see the crack until I had pulled my unit out, as shown in the video. I got my order in to appliancepartspro (I've dealt with them before, too, and have always had a good experience.) When the part gets here, I'll finish out the repair, and get back to lots of ice, not an ice dispenser holding a solid single massive hunk of ice. Thanks again! I'm so glad I decided to view the video!

[@N-Scale]

Glad I was able to provide some help

[@kylet045]

Hi great Video, Just an FYI for other users this is the same Ice Maker as the Samsung Model RS261MDBP. It is a side by side model. I just replaced mine and and this video would have been very helpful. One thing I would mention is anytime you are connecting or disconnecting electrical ALWAYS unplug the fridge before doing so. You run the risk of damaging sensitive electronics on these pieces of equipment. Great Video!!!!!

[@mikehunt0001]

What a life saver this video was! Same model refrigerator, however, the ice maker quit making ice. Found a solid block of ice in the ice tray that would not pop out on rotation by the motor (not sure what caused this). Took everything out and inspected all parts thoroughly with no problem items found. Will try it out again and see how it goes. Thank you again.

[@N-Scale]

Wow, this is exactly the issue I had, a broken tray. I gather that the original tray had material that simply broke when attempting to drop ice…then it went south ! Thanks so much for a very detailed and concise video. You have helped pass your knowledge on….much appreciated. UPDATE: replaced tray with official OEM part for only $6. All is well

@@N-Scale strangely, ice works, but never drips ice until I press button. It’s as if the thermostat is not sensing the water turned to ice..so never cycles! Did you experience issues with thermostat?

Ty, although I have a different model ice maker this video helped me fix mine. It appeared I had a small chunk of ice stopping the tray from making its full return to position before refill. It wasn't refilling and I had thought it was a water issue and it was not. Thanks for showing me the cycle button, that's all it needed 😄

[@N-Scale]

+Jim Munhall More than welcome Jim , Glad to help. Mike

[@kyleborne4224]

Mike, Thanks for your Video! I looked and looked and you had by far the best video on what my issue was. My Thermosensor had fallen down and was hanging. I didn't have the Foam or Plastic Covering you showed. Not sure where it went. However, I did want to help you and others. If you remove the Top Tray, you can access that part & the Cover with relative ease. If my arms were longer, I'm sure I could have disconnected the wires in the back to remove the unit. Luckily that was not my problem. But your video does have me wondering which Ice Tray I have...but not going to purchase one just for the sake of buying a flex model.

[@sunilk1204]

Thanks for the Video. I fixed my Samsung Model RS261MDBP. Mike you explained the intricacies of of removing and replacing the ice cube tray. Well done video. You are a natural. Thanks again saving us a lot of money.

[@Vonstar29]

Hi again..... I ordered a new part as it was the motor that went. I purchased the ice tray and motor together, it doesn’t come with the housing, though that’s fine as it just clips out, but I’m sure you could get it, if needed ...... THANKS TO YOU ..... I still saved a ton on money fitting it myself.... SO glad to get my ice maker back...... for anyone in the UK.... you can get spare parts from many appliances from “ESPARES” at a great price and fast delivery. Great video.....and thanks again 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@onebronx]

In my case the electric connector was not plugged in all the way down, and the motor stopped in an intermediate position on a second day after installation. When I pulled the ice maker assembly, the connector plug disconnected too easily because the latch was not engaged. Seems like a lazy job (or sabotage?) on the Samsung assembly line. No replacement was required, just reconnect properly. Thanks to you and your video, it saved me a call to Samsung!

[@N-Scale]

First off: Thank you for getting this video out there, it has helped greatly. That being said: New problem: The mechanism works it fills the ice try appropriately but it does not dump as often as it should. I'm getting very few ice dumps, but I'm not sure what would be causing this issue. Anyone possibly know why it won't dump the ice in the bucket? Is there a temp sensor that is telling the machine to dump the ice?

[@eaglesview888]

I know this is a year later, but try and ensure you not over freezing.... Temp should be between -13 and -18 MAX... Ice expands, might be why it does not drop out easily ... long shot, but try... This is for somebody, probably not you Whitney Gilbreth :-)

[@Halibut2]

My ice maker had become an ice waterfall, ending on the wooden floor under the fridge. I turned the water off, cleaned all the ice from the freezer section, when I discovered the ice tray had overfilled and turned into a block of ice that would not release. It would recycle and release more water - thus the ice waterfall. I found this video, and while the ice maker was not identical, it was functionally. It took five minutes to get the ice maker out, another five minutes to free the ice from the tray, and another five minutes to re-install the ice maker. Now I wait, with great confidence that the problem is solved. I suspect the initial problem was that the ice bucket was not re-seated properly after being emptied. Thank you very much for this video!

Thank you for the great video. My ice machine, in a similar Samsung freezer,stopped making ice..The tray was stuck in the "dump" position"( not broken or cracked)and did not return to the upright position. I banged (*lightly) on the motor unit with a wood spoon, tried the reset button and this freed up the ice tray that was stuck in the dump position.. The tray returned to the upright position and filled properly. Hopefully, this is all it was. Not sure what caused it to "stay" in the dump position but I'll defrost the unit and see if this keeps it from getting stuck again. Thanks again..

[@robynr447]

That is the water inlet guide. On mine it has a soft-rubber end to it that the tray bumps into when in the ejecting/twisted position. I am imagining that this is to knock off any chunks of ice or clog in the end before trying to re-fill. If this is bent out of position or missing the soft end you could potentially freeze up here. Just did the tray replacement! Thanks Mike!

I am no tech but I would say a bad board and I think the cover needs to be there. Thanks , Mike

Same thing happened to me. The back of the water filter housing froze up. Unplugged fridge for 24 hours and left doors open. Took apart drains in back by compressor and cleaned out. Steamed out drain lines. Have issues with icing on freezer floor.

Thanks this video helped me with my ice maker. Was a different model and different issue then yours but the maker was very similar. Seems the power feed to motor has a loose connection. The tray was mid turn and the test button did nothing till i removed it then it started working. This ice maker is a secondary unit in my model fridge.
