Thanks for this tip (FD) I have a 4 door Samsung RF22K9381 which I had to get the Ice Maker replaced before it went out of warranty a year ago. Yesterday once again there was no ice!! This time I repeated your instructions about going to FD mode and I also hit the blue reset button on top side of the ice maker afterwards and "volia" ice began producing within 2 hours. Thanks so much for doing this video! On my Samsung I had to hold "Freezer and FlexZone" to get it in diagnostic mode. Had to try it a couple of times to get it to go in that mode.

I am in Europe (UK) and have MODEL: RF56J9040SR This worked. Thank you so much. I first started having ice compartment issues 8 months after purchase: January 2019. Samsung contract engineer came round, replaced a bunch of stuff in the ice compartment and updated the software and said this is a well known issue and he does this fix on 100's a month. 2 years 8 months later ice compartment starts to freeze back up. Hopefully, now forced defrosted and dried, I wont have this issue for another few years!

It's like trying to sort through an esoteric secret menu... And this stuff isn't in the user manual. I have the RF56K9040SG model, which looks very similar to Mr Gizmo's one, but the buttons are in different places. On mine the [Door Alarm] and [Cool Select+] have swapped positions. My [Door Alarm] is on the right, [Cool Select+] is left. Instead of [Energy Saver] and [Ice Maker] I have [Control Lock] and [Light] instead... Anyway tried hold pressing together the [Freezer] and [Cool Select+] like Mr Gizmo said, nothing happened. So tried pressing the same button positions as in the video... It works! So on the RF56K9040SG you have to press [Freezer] and [Door Alarm], use [Door Alarm] to cycle the mode to "Fd" to defrost...

Ours didn't work for months and the tray wouldn't come out even after running defrost multiple times. Eventually I just forced the tray out and the plastic shattered. This is just a terrible design. I wish you could defrost without it beeping. If you need to run it multiple times you need to restart right after it finishes, so leaving the house isn't really an option.

We turned off the ice maker when we left our FL house in May. Came back in October to find the ice maker with a big hunk of ice blocking the tray. Followed your instructions, even reset the ice maker (another video). The block melted but no ice for 6 days. Then today, it randomly filled the tray with ice! So glad we waited to call for a repair! We should call Samsung about the defective unit replacement though.

Any fridge that has a ice maker in the refrigerator section instead of the freezer I stay away from you will have nothing but problem because ice makers are not meant to go there because the ice can melt then freeze back solid because it is not at a cold enough temp my grandma has a whirlpool french door nothing but problems I'm staying away from them

I've had this fridge for 7-8 years now. My ice maker was replaced twice and they also did a system board replacement at year 4 which appears to have resolved the issue for about 3 years. Pro Tip: replace the water filter BEFORE the system notifies you to replace it - at 5 months. If you have hard/soft water I suggest adjusting filter replacement accordingly. For diagnostics, the FF = Force Freeze (F freezer, r Refrigerator, C Cool Select) tests the compressor to see if its running, OF r = Only Fan (Refrigerator), Rd = Refrigerator Defrost, Fd = Full defrost. This is a great video.

I had to replace the ice maker right after delivery. It did not work. Warranty work through an authorized Samsung dealer. Ice maker worked great. Only two people living here and only one uses the ice maker on average. Two years later and the thing is caked in frost! Force defrost twice. Worked great but one month later, defrost returned but not as bad as I checked after 3 weeks! Obviously the electronic software containing the cycling is junk. Now I know I’ll have to do this once a week and it should remain ok. But, is it only the ice maker it is defrosting or the entire refrigerator? Because it’s quite possible that this is the real reason for these refrigerator defrost issues and not the heat element placement. Consider that they work fine for quite a while before failing! Junk electronics much more expensive to replace than a wire and foil tapes!

Samsung has had an issue with its ice maker/dispenser freezing over for years. They refuse to address it and redesign their refrigerators. I had read a while back that someone was going to file a class action suit but I don’t know if that ever happened. I don’t find it acceptable that Samsung’s “fix” is to manually defrost the ice maker especially on a very expensive modern refrigerator. They need to address the issue, redesign the refrigerator and make it right for those thousands of customers like you, who have experienced this design flaw. As I’m sure you know, it’s not like their refrigerators are inexpensive either. It’s too bad you didn’t know about this issue before you purchased yours. While my old refrigerator is still running (16 years so far), I’ve been shopping for a new one for a while now; it’s too small. I want water as well as ice in the door however no one makes a 30” width model with an ice dispenser, only water.

I don't do that. I take the ice maker out and then use a flashlight to see where the excess ice is. Next, I take a long metal spatula (I use the one for my outdoor gas grille) and scrape the top of the inside and I knock off chunks on the upper right side and way in back. I will sometimes use the pointed end of the handle. I also use a large plate to catch the scrapings and chunks that have fallen down when I pull these out with the spatula. A Preventative Maintenance for excess accumulation that impedes the Ice Maker from making ice s/b done every 5 days. BTW- I keep my Freezer at -8° and Fridge at 34°

Did you know that the icing issues is due to condensation? Warmer air is getting into the ice maker, making ice to thaw and making water drip along the side of the ice tray. Then it refreezes and continues to build up, making it so you can not remove the ice tray. This process also causes ice to clump up in the ice tray until it gets clogged up and won't dispense ice. There is another video on how to fix the issue. Thank you for explaining how to Force Defrost the ice maker. I'll try it. I used a hair dryer to thaw it out.

Can you please tell me afterwards I change temperature on power freezer, but it’s back to -8 again. When I open the fridge door.

See my comment below. Also, I did not have that much ice in the inside compartment. But in FD mode there was a lot of water from ice somewhere? Maybe the ice was blocking the infra red sensor??

This worked for me. But had to do 6 times before we could get the icemaker out. After the first time, the beeping only lasted about 15 minutes.

Worked like a charm. It didn't take as long because even on cool the air warmed up a bit. Probably because the hose was from a small wet/dry vac and created a little backpressure. Only took about an hour. Used a towel instead of a sponge. Thanks

@@MrGizmo211 So far I've done the defrost 3 times and the block of ice is still there. I can't remove the ice bucket, but I can see it through the ice hole. I called 800 Samsung and they said they are sending techs out for free (parts and labor) to replacd these even if the fridge isn't under warranty. So I am waiting for that.Thank you for your video!
