Next Post Having a freezer with an ice maker is incredibly convenient. It allows you to enjoy icy cold drinks every day without having to refill
ice trays at the kitchen sink. Whether you need a large supply of ice for the big game, a birthday party, or a regular family dinner, you count on your ice maker to work flawlessly. That’s why it’s such a big inconvenience if your ice maker gets stuck or fails to produce enough ice. There are plenty of reasons why an ice maker might stop working, but here’s a look at two of the most common causes of a broken ice maker, how to fix them, and how to prevent the issues from happening again in
the future. Remember to be careful as you attempt to fix the problem, so you don’t accidentally break the ice maker by applying too much force or due to unfamiliarity. If you start to lose your cool, call an expert for professional ice maker repair. Problem: Ice clumps If the ice storage bin gets too full or isn’t
used often enough, slight melting and refreezing may cause ice cubes to stick together in clumps, making it impossible to dispense them. Remove the ice storage bin from the freezer and break clumped up ice with your hands. Dump any clumps you can’t break up into the sink. Since inactivity causes ice clumps to form, the easiest long-term fix is to use the ice maker more frequently. Problem: Ice caught in the raker Most ice makers have a raking
mechanism to disperse newly created cubes evenly across the storage bin. The raker bar may have ice caught in it, causing it to jam. To fix this, clear off ice cubes from the raker bar by hand. Remove some ice from the storage bin if it ever starts getting too full. Problem: Dispenser chute clogged Ice and debris can clog the dispenser chute, causing the flap not to open all the way. If ice doesn’t come out, stop pressing the dispenser, open
the freezer door, and look inside the chute. If it’s blocked, remove the obstruction. Problem: The water supply valve fails A direct water supply line into the freezer allows it to produce ice. If the valve that controls the supply line has become stuck, corroded, or worn out, the ice maker will stop working. You’ll need to investigate the water supply line and possibly replace the valve to get the ice maker
working again. This may require a professional’s assistance. Problem: The filter is clogged Ice makers use a filter to stop particles in the water from contaminating the ice or making it taste funny. If you never replace the filter, it can become clogged over time and block the flow of water into the ice maker. To keep your ice clean and the water flowing, change the freezer’s water filter as frequently as the manufacturer recommends. If the ice maker troubleshooting and repair tips here don’t work for you, contact Mr. Appliance for the professional services you need. We’ll get your ice maker up and running and take steps to help you avoid problems in the future. While the technician is at your home, you might as well request an entire
freezer check-up. This will give you peace of mind, knowing the appliance is running reliably and efficiently. For all your kitchen appliance repair needs, turn to Mr. Appliance. We’ll provide the quick, reliable repairs you expect. Meanwhile, are you having trouble just across from the
freezer with a clogged kitchen sink? Reach out to our fellow Neighborly brand, Mr. Rooter, for expert plumbing service.Ice Maker Gets Stuck

- Ice bucket is stuck or has a block of ice
If your ice bucket is stuck and won't come out, don't try to force it too hard. A little gentle wiggle should be all you need to shake it loose. If you've never removed your ice bucket before, don't fret: most have a trick to them, like a special angle to pull at, that makes it a lot easier. Some models also have a button or lever to release the ice bucket as well.

Water leaks in a Samsung refrigerator
Many times when you see a pool of water (or one that froze into a sheet of ice), it can often be attributed to condensation or a spill you didn't notice. The most common place to see water is at the bottom of the compartment, such as below the vegetable or crisper drawers. Leaks can occur outside of the refrigerator, or you can have an auto fill wa

The AutoFill water pitcher will stop filling if it detects a leak, and will make the icon on the panel blink until the issue is resolved. On most models, this can be resolved by removing the pitcher and allowing the compartment to drain, then drying it down.
Test or reset your Samsung ice maker
Resetting your ice maker isn't something you'll typically need to do very often. In fact, the only time you should ever reset your ice maker is when you're not getting any ice, and even then, it's the last resort, after other troubleshooting steps which are more likely to resolve your issue. But if you want to check if your ice maker is working, it
