Diagnosing modern appliances without proper knowledge and training can be difficult. Without using proper diagnostic techniques, fixing your refrigerator problem will only be achieved through changing parts on a hunch. Appliances, especially in the last 10 years, have become extremely advanced, and many models have electronic parts that are difficult to test. DIY repairs on the latest appliance models are becoming increasingly difficult.

Troubleshooting a Samsung Smart Refrigerator Not Making Ice

When your Samsung smart refrigerator is not making ice, check to see if the water dispenser is working so you know whether the fridge has an adequate water supply.

If the water dispenser isn’t working, follow these troubleshooting steps to find and fix the water supply problem:

1. Replace the water filter if you haven’t installed a new one within the last year. A clogged water filter will prevent your ice maker and water dispenser from getting water.
2. Check the water supply cut-off valve. Make sure that valve is fully open. If your Samsung refrigerator uses a saddle valve for the water supply, cycle that saddle valve shut and back open to clear debris and deposits that could be blocking the small opening that the saddle valve uses to supply water to the fridge. This may restore the water supply going to the refrigerator.
3. See whether water is flowing through the water supply line going to your fridge. Shut off the water supply cut-off valve and disconnect the water supply line from the back of the refrigerator. Place the end of the water line in a bucket and briefly open the water supply cut-off valve to check for water flow coming from the end of the water supply line.

If no water flows from the water supply line, have a plumber fix the water supply going to your Samsung smart refrigerator.

If the water dispenser works, check the water fill tube above the ice maker for a freeze plug that could be preventing water from flowing into the ice mold. Defrost that fill tube and the ice maker should work again.

If these troubleshooting tips don’t help you fix the problem with your Samsung smart refrigerator not making ice, a failed water valve, defective control board, faulty ice maker assembly or wiring failure could be preventing the ice maker from working. Schedule refrigerator repair service and we’ll send a Sears Home Services technician to your home to fix the ice maker failure in your Samsung fridge.
