Mike May 07, 2014 for Model Number RFG297AARS Ice maker was not discharging ice, after melting with a hair dryer ice would discharge but then only drop one cycle of ice cubes. I took front of the ice maker apart to find some teeth chipped off the plastic gear. Would replacing the ice maker solve this issue??
1 Answer Hello Mike. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the icemaker DA97-05422A is bad and will need to be replaced on the unit. Read More...
Skip S May 02, 2014 for Model Number RB195BSVQ My Samsung frig,since new, stopped releasing the cubes and eventually would get jammed and break the gear teeth. 3 icemakers, all with the same results. They generally last less than 3 months.Something is damaging the heating circuit in the ice unit. Samsung replaced 2 under warranty years ago. Got any advice.
1 Answer Skip, In most cases when the icemaker heater gets damaged or is not coming on then the issue is not with the icemaker but with the main control board of the unit not sending the signal to the heater on the icemaker to turn on when the unit starts to cycle. This will cause the fingers to have to force the ice out of the icemaker and eventually will damage the icemaker. Read More...
Steve April 13, 2014 for Model Number RS263TD Samsung Side by side, Ice maker not working at all. Arm on unit will not move and I don't want to force it. Is there anyway to check to see if the ice maker has power or if it needs to be replaced. Or if it's the control panel unit. Water works fine. I see many people having problems with these units. As far as I can tell, If I need an ice maker it's Unit # DA97-02203H. Is there any recall or an upgraded unit that you know of. Thanks for any advise. Steve
1 Answer Steve, On the bottom of the icemaker head there is a button that is a test button. If you press and hold that button, the icemaker should go into a cycle. If it does not then the icemaker is most likely the cause for the issue. Read More...
Advanced Appliacne February 28, 2014 for Model Number RB195BSBB The fridge is making ice how ever it is only coming out in one solid block not in cubes? Does this actually mean that it is the ice maker?
1 Answer Hello. It does not sound like the icemaker. It sounds like the valve is overfilling and will need to be replaced. Read More...
Walt February 07, 2014 for Model Number DA97-02203H. Assy ice maker I replace the ice maker with a new one. Hit the reset button and waited for the the ice to dump, nothing happened. There was ice in the trays but it would not dump. Can you help me?
1 Answer Hello Walt. If you pressed the button and the unit would not cycle, the main control board may be bad and may be causing the issue with the unit. Read More...
Bill P December 25, 2013 for Model Number RB195BSBB Ice in icemaker comes out slabs of cubes Never individual cubes . Eventually the ice bucket is one big block of ice. I have been told it is the ice tray not releasing all the ice. What do you Think?
1 Answer Hello Bill. Either it is not releasing the cubes or it is overfilling. You need to watch it cycle and see what it does then replace either the icemaker or the water valve on the unit. If it is over filling, bad valve. Read More...
Poppi December 08, 2013 for Model Number RB215LASH I have a Samsung RB215LASH and have had to replace 4 ice makers in the past 5 years.The most recent problem is that the ice maker rotates completely but does not dump all the the ice. Subsequently, water overflows the ice tray and freezes in the bucket. A service rep (A&E) told me there was something wrong with the ice tray that was preventing the tray from releasing the ice when it turns. He suggested I could replace the tray only and that would probably solve my situation. I would appreciate a second opinion on that fix. In the past I have replaced the entire assembly. Thanks. Poppi.
1 Answer Hello Poppi. I have found in the past it is best to replace the whole assembly and not just the tray for that issue. Sounds more like the head is not going far enough to dump all the ice. Read More...
Anthony November 02, 2013 for Model Number Samsung RS2630SH My Ice maker is making ice but the tray will not rotate to dump the ice, so the water still flows and makes a sheet of ice in my bucket. I have turned off the ice maker and am looking to replace the ice maker. I am just wonder exactly how to do that and do I need just the ice maker itself or the assembly as well. thanks Anthony.
1 Answer Anthony, To replace the icemaker in your unit, there are 2 screws at the front of the icemaker that you will remove. Slide the icemaker forward and it will unhook from the tabs on the top of the unit. Then you would disconnect the wire harness and remove the icemaker. Plug in the new and reinstall. The icemaker assembly would need to be replaced DA97-02203H. Read More...
Tommy L July 07, 2013 for Model Number RB215LABP My girlfriend has an LG refrigerator/freezer and the ice maker and it was in storage for 2 years. she plugged it back in and it doesn't work. Water keeps flowing into the ice maker and doesn't shut off. I took it out and just put it back in. It is still just running water straight through it. It the cutoff valve in the ice maker or somewhere else.
1 Answer Tommy, The water valve for the unit is located on the back of the refrigerator behind the cover in the rear. Read More...
Gail March 18, 2013 for Model Number R195BSSW/XAA I would like instructions to install a replace ice maker - AP4335223. Thanks
1 Answer Hello Gail, Most models have one screw that threads into the ceiling. Some have two. Removing these will enable you to slide the unit forward off of the retainers. Un-plug the harness and it will be free in your hand. Installation is the same but reverse order. Read More...
