Mercer C February 14, 2013 Model rb215lash. the water is running through the line but no ice cubes are made
1 Answer Hello Mercer, You will want to put the icemaker into a cycle by pushing the button on the bottom of the motor. If the unit does not cycle then you would need to replace icemaker. If the unit does not fill with water you will want to pull icemaker and check to make sure that the fill tube is not frozen. If the fill tube is not frozen then replace icemaker. Read More...
Dean September 24, 2012 for Model Number Samsung RB215LABP/XAA My ice maker is not working. I had it in storage for about a year now its not working. I tried to reset it but nothing happens. I don't see water or nothing. What could be wrong?
1 Answer Hi Dean. The ice maker part # DA97-00258E will normally take 24-48 hrs to cycle as it needs to be at the freezer frozen temperature before it calls for water. Make sure the ice maker is in the on position. Trip the feeler arm up and down a couple of times to begin the cycle if the temp. are below 32°. Feel inside the ice ejector arm to release the bind of the arm. Use the wiring diagram and Use a volt/ohm meter part # MA-DM1 to assist you in your diagnostics. Find the control board output pins and make sure you have the correct ice maker output. Make sure the wiring harness under the freezer door hinge are connected if you removed the door when storage. It feeds the ice maker. Thank You. Read More...

Oscar July 12, 2012 for Model Number rb215lash There is no ice being made already. I replaced the ice maker and water valve and pushed the reset button. The water flows good. The temperature is at 0 degrees. Someone spoke of a module. There was a piece of ice that I took out of the refill tube over the ice tray. I would appreciate any help!
1 Answer Hello Oscar, If there is ice in the fill tube, this is an indication of either low water pressure or a bad water inlet valve. I know you said you just replaced the water inlet valve, but there is always the possibility of a bad new part. I would first thaw out all of the ice in the fill tube and the fill cup with a hair dryer. Next, turn the water off to the unit and remove the water line from the wall to the water inlet valve and place it in a bucket or plastic trashcan. Turn the water on and insure there is sufficient water pressure. If there is, I would call in for an exchange on the new part for a factory defective part. If there isn't, look for a crimp in the water supply line or check to see if the water supply line originates at a self-tapping saddle valve. If it does, the manufacturer recommends to drill the pierced hole out to a full 1/4 inch hole. Read More...
Bob June 30, 2012 for Model Number RB215LASH I purchased a new valve which has been installed. It did the job on regulating the flow of water however the tray will not dump ice cubes. It freezes and then the water overflows into the large container. Do I just need to buy the entire ice maker? Thanks for any help.
1 Answer Hello Bob. Yes, based on the information you provided, it sounds like the ice maker assembly DA97-02203H is bad and will need to be replaced in the unit. Read More...
Bob April 27, 2012 for Model Number RS253BABB Hello, I have an automatic dispensing ice maker. It still makes ice, but won't dispense into the door. The motor doesn't switch on when I push the door actuator lever. What could be causing this? The water dispenser works fine, but not the ice. Thank you.
1 Answer Hi Bob. Do you see any definite fault codes ? A couple of things may affect this. First remove the ice bin assy. Then tape the freezer door switch shut. While the door is open put a glass into the ice paddle and call for ice, Is the auger motor part DA31-00105A turning at all ? Switch from cubes to crush and see if The crush solenoid plunger part DA74-40151G next to the auger motor goes up and down when you test it ? IF they do not then use a volt/ohm meter part # MA-DM1 to see if they get 120 vac while pressing for ice cubes or crush. This will tell you if the paddle switch part # DA34-00011B , fountain controls part # DA97-02828E and the wiring to the parts mentioned are ok. Use the supplied wiring diagram up in the controls or in the kick plate grill below to follow the circuits. Thank You. Read More...
Jim H. February 24, 2012 I repaired a samsung ice maker and re-installed. It makes ice and will dump when reset button is pushed, but will not dump automatically.
1 Answer Hello Jim. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the icemaker DA97-02203H is bad and will need to be replaced. These units are hard to do any repairs on the part and it is best to replace the part if it is bad. Hope this helps. Read More...
Sherri January 06, 2012 for Model Number RB195BSSW Icemaker started filling the ice cube bin with water, bypassing the ice cube trays. Do I need to replace the entire icemaker?
1 Answer Hello Sherri. If the water overflowed the tray, replace the water valve DA62-00930A. If the icemaker is not overflowing, but is warped, replace the icemaker assembly DA97-02203H. Hope this helps. Read More...
Segen77 September 05, 2011 for Model Number RV195BSSW We have had several power outages. Now for some reason the ice maker wont dump all ice. when it turns to dump it will dump about half, then you hear it click several times front to twist the tray enough to get the rest of the ice out. It is unsuccessful with the dump but will still fill with water anyway, so it will overfill and dump one giant chunk of ice. Do I need to replace with this part? AP4335223 and does it come with enough instructions to do so? I am fairly handy. Thanks
1 Answer Hello Segen77. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the ice maker assembly DA97-02203H is bad and will need to be replaced. These are not hard to change. Just remove the screw holding the ice maker in place and slide the ice maker and drop it down. Then unplug the wires and remove the ice maker. Reinstall in reverse order. Hope this helps.

Wayne August 31, 2011 for Model Number Samsung RB215lash We had a power outage for an hour and then we noticed that the ice maker wasn't making much ice. I pushed the reset/test button on the bottom of the ice maker and it dropped the ice. It takes about 3-4 hours to drop ice unless I push the button to drop sooner. The temp in the freezer is -2 degrees. What is wrong? Do I need a new ice maker assy?? It takes too long for it to drop ice or I have to hit the black button on the bottom. What gives? Thanks, Wayne
1 Answer Hello Wayne. The icemaker should cycle every two to three hours based on the temperature in the freezer. If the unit is taking over 4 hours to cycle, then you will need to replace the icemaker DA97-02203H. Hope this helps. Read More...
