Samsung Fridge: How to turn ON/OFF Ice Maker

[@harrywaynetillman5154]

So helpful. The Samsung manual doesn't explain this.

[@netman88]

Glad to help.

[@elizabethbouchard8077]

Thank you! I just bought a Samsung fridge with an ice maker, internal, no dispenser on the outside of the door. They didn't install the water line but the ice maker was still on and I thought it might cause damage to fridge or the ice maker itself, and couldn't figure out how to turn it off. Your video showed me exactly what to do, and now I have the ice maker turned off. I feel so much better now, as I was really worried! Thanks again!

[@doloresrozman5612]

finally able to shut off ice.thanks

I couldn’t figure out how to get the buttons to work. You resolved the mystery! The allusive lock button.

[@JONATHAN99211]

The buttons on mine aren't lit up is this what was going on with yours? Because mine aren't lit up. How do you get them to turn on?

[@humbertomedina3273]

Thank you!! Read instructions 10 times and could not find how to do it!! My fridge was making noises due to lack of water. Home Depot said my ice maker and water dispenser was going to burn out due to lack of water. After seeing your video my brand new fridge stopped trying to pump water continuously. Thank you!!❤

[@netman88]

You are welcome!

[@jdjamerson]

Thank you for this video. We just purchase a new Samsung 28 cu. ft. Smart Side-by-Side Refrigerator in Fingerprint Resistant Stainless Steel and we could not get the control panel to work. We had no idea we had to unlock the panel. My wife says thank you.

Thanks for your videos. We have Model RF27T5201SR and believe it or not there is NO light in the water dispenser! So if you're thinking about buying a Samsung refrigerator, get one with a light!

[@netman88]

Thanks for sharing. I think they removed the light on many models probably to save $$$

I have this same exact fridge. I do exactly what you say to do and it works. But then my ice maker turns back on by itself. Any advice?

Yes, ice maker turns on when ice maker is pressed again. It's designed that way.

@@netman88 Hello thank you for replaying. Just to clarify, after I turn the ice maker off on the control panel inside, it’ll turn back on when I try to get ice from the front? Thank you

How often should I clean/remove the ice bucket? I have the countertop model of the refrigerator in your video & it will be 12 months old in July. We have great water quality & only 2 adults using the fridge. Thank you for your very informative videos by the way!

[@netman88]

I clean once a year

[@theresawilley5751]

Thank you! Do you have a video on removing the ice bucket? Also I'm assuming will need to turn off icemaker to clean the ice bucket. Finally 1 more question, would you recommend turning off the icemaker if we are away from home for a period of many weeks?

Thank you so much. that was very helpful. my ice maker bin is jammed. dont know how to take out the bin.

[@netman88]

There's a latch under the ice maker door for this model, you'll need to unlatch on the bottom to remove. If it's stuck, you'll need to unplug fridge to defrost before it.

[@minhasp1]

Thank you. But I have a question that I can not adjust the temperature in refrigerator and the freezer. It won’t let me do it. Can you please help me out/

[@beckydeed7577]

This was helpful. When I tried to turn off the ice maker by holding down the button, it does not cycle to turn off. Seems like I can make selections on the water/ice cycle but I can't turn off the ice maker. I think it's frozen because no ice is dispensing and I can't remove the cover to the ice maker. Suggestions?

[@netman88]

Probably need to unplug the fridge for it to un-frozen it.

[@XuanNguyen-ep3yi]

Thanks 👍👍😁

[@ArcoRudy]

Thank you! Is there a way to control the amount of ice in the ice cube storage container? It produces way more ice than I can use and the bottom half that I never use freezes up into a solid mass.

[@netman88]

Your are Welcome. Nope to control the amount of ice. It will keep producing ice until it fills up the container. Maybe give it a try to adjust the temperature on the freezer side to see if that helps.

[@bevburger9720]

Excellent explanation. Thank you! Very helpful!

My side by side refrigerator is new. I try to put the icemaker on OFF since there is enough ice but it won't do it. I followed exactly what you did in the video. I don't have a dispenser on the door. When the icemaker is on there is a constant little noise. What should I do.

[@cashedout888]

Ok so i have the ice maker button but i dont have the water and ice thing on the left door do you have an idea where it makes the ice?

If it’s under warranty, probably want to call Samsung for repair.

Thank you so much!!!!!

[@dinaramadan3416]

When you say the ice maker, you mean the ice being formed dropped into the box in the freezer? Because this is what I want off not the ice maker on the door. Please reply.

[@netman88]

Yes. This should turn off the ice maker.

[@FoodieTV88]

I have the same fridge like yours but I don’t why my ice maker come out crushed iced now even on the cubed ice mold.

[@netman88]

Probably the temperature setup is too low. This may cause this.

[@lpoollady12]

My settings panel is not as sophisticated as rhat shown on the video! It just has an “O” with< and >. When I turn the ice off, as instructed, it reverts to on!

[@netman88]

either buggy or something

[@estellar.5998]

It worked!

[@ConnorCourtney]

After you first got your refrigerator how long did it take for it to start dispensing ice ?

[@netman88]

It takes time at least 8 hours as I'm told. Always, make sure the water line is connected tight to the back of fridge and the spigot is turned ON. Check if the ice maker function is ON, let it run over night.

[@ConnorCourtney]

@@netman88 Thanks I appreciate your response.

How do I set the freezer temp to zero below, or what is the suggested temp for the freezer.

Unlock panel, change the freezer temp.

[@shawndmcmahon4950]

Kenmore fridge has a choice of O or - symbols on icemaker, which is off and on? No wire arm involved.

[@netman88]

I don't have a Kenmore but I googled the answer. 0 = off and 1=numbers (temperature) dial indicate refrigerant power. The higher the number goes the colder the fridge will maintain. Setting it to 5 will make your fridge the coldest.

[@juanagonzales9030]

Recientemente compré una y está haciendo mucho sonido y no me agrada, creo que es eso, ty so much.

[@rashidaraza7581]

What is the symbol next to 0 degrees on the Freezer. Mine has the same symbol on. I am worried I may have to reset something. Also, can you please do a video on Force Defrost. After 3 years my icemaker is jamming up with ice. I read online to do Force Defrost. Thank you. Your videos are very helpful.

[@netman88]

You mean the symbol with the lightening bolt with a null on it? That's the peak demand off, leave it lit on so it won't turn off to save freezer energy but spoil the food. I'll research the force defrost. I never had to defrost. Thanks.

[@rashidaraza7581]

@@netman88 Thank you. My fridge is exactly 3 years old. Ice tray is jammed. I talked to Samsung. Out of warranty. They advised to unplug for 24 hours. And, they recommend it unplugged for 24 hours once a year to let the appliance “breathe”. I have never had this issues of owning different refrigerators over 50 years. There is a class action lawsuit for the ice maker issue. Apparently, most common issue.

[@jzm1977]

I have had a samsung fridge for the past 25 years. You are right, i. Older models that is how to turn it off. I have a new one, I do what you just showed and it shows ICE MAKER OFF but a few minutes later it goes back to on again. So now it wont work

If someone touches the ICE MAKER it will come back ON. Just turn OFF and ON if you want it to work. Or it could be buggy now.

My refrigerator looks virtually the same as the one in the video. The only difference, I did not get the ice and water dispenser on the left door. I pushed and held the lock button down, and accessed the ice maker. 3 different settings come on, however, none of them say "ice maker off". My refrigerator is making a groaning noise. I remove the plastic water container in the left side of the refrigerator door, the groaning noise stops. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I did not hook up the water to the back of the refrigerator.

Maybe see if you see if the ice is frozen in the ice tray.

Sorry, I am not familiar with that model and couldn’t find the manual online. If similar control panel setup: Try to search for the owner’s manual. If there’s an unlocked panel button, try that first. Then, probably hold the ice button for the button for 3 seconds.
