Residential Fridge Ice Maker freezes up
We have a 2020 Solitude with the Samsung residential frig. The ice maker made ice (slush cubes) when the antifreeze was in the system but now will not with water. After investigating, we found the water line feeling the tray formed an ice clump at the end of the line where it fills the tray. We melted it off and the ice maker worked for 2 trays of ice until it froze up again. I called Samsung and their comment was they would send a tech out to replace the ice maker. I don't think that is the solution and I really don't want someone tearing my frig/trailer apart already unless absolutely necessary. Any thoughts?

Samsung ice makers are the worst for reliability. Freezing up is a common fault. Let the tech come out and replace the ice maker.

Refrigerators with French doors and freezer located on the bottom that have ice makers located in the French door have this issue. Samsung is notorious for this.
This issue stems from the ice makers being located in the refrigerator portion of the unit. Not like the older styles of refrigerators that had double doors with ice maker located on the side door for the freezer. The ice maker has to overcome the greater temperature difference. Should be better insulated to stop the frost buildup that makes the ice maker inop.
We have a Samsung at home with two ice makers. One in the French door and one in the freezer section. The one in the freezer section works faultlessly. The one in the door will work for a week or so only after you thaw it out and reset it. After two years of this, we gave up and only use the door unit for cold water. All of our ice we get from the freezer ice maker.
Google this issue and you can find hours of reading on this. I wish we had saved the money and bought the model with only one ice maker in the freezer.Last edited by vonzoog; 05-15-2020 at 05:18 AM.
