Randy January 01, 2017 for Model Number Samsung RF 267 The ice maker in my refrigerator has stopped. Pressing the reset button does nothing and water is not filling. I still have water to the door dispenser. Does this sound like an ice maker issue or a water inlet valve problem? The ice maker jammed over the weekend while I was away. I cleared the ice, but function has not resumed.
1 Answer Hello Randy. It sounds more like the icemaker in the unit. The jam could have damaged the icemaker. Read More...
Tammy December 02, 2016 for Model Number RFG297AAWP Replaced water filter and ice maker has quit working. Water dispenses just fine. You can hear what sounds like a pump sucking air?? Any suggestions?
1 Answer Tammy, You will want to check to make sure that the fill tube for the icemaker is not froze. If the water had slowed down too much before the filter was replaced this could have caused the fill tube to freeze. If this checks ok then the issue would most likely be with the water valve.

David November 29, 2016 for Model Number RFG297AARS/XAA If I need to test the solenoid on the water valve split unit because water is not reaching the ice maker but only to the water dispenser, what meter reader should I use to test for any current..? And do I put the metal probes on the wire inserts to test? Thanks
1 Answer Hello David. You will use a digital multi-meter TJMA-DMT3 set to ac voltage and insert the probes into the wires of the water valve. Read More...

Justin June 27, 2016 for Model Number RFG297AAPN/XAA Had this unit given to us. Previous owner said ice maker hardly ever worked for them so they just bought ice. I plugged it in and hooked it up and it made ice one time and stopped. Pulled it apart and it had a cube froze to the little flipper things. Thawed it out and re inserted it and added New filter, good water flow through water spout on door, Ice maker clean and I held the reset button for 5+ seconds, still no ice. Do I just need a new ice maker? I don't want to just throw parts at it. Thanks!
1 Answer Hello Justin. Yes, if the temp is correct, you will need to order and replace the icemaker in the unit. Read More...

Mike October 11, 2015 for Model Number RS277ACPN/XAA-0000 The icemaker is not making enough ice. I replaced the main part inside freezer and the reset button works perfectly with water fill. Good water pressure and new water filter. Not making ice like it used too. Do I need to order a water inlet valve?
1 Answer Hello Mike, If the unit cycles and fills properly, the issue is more likely to be an issue with the units' operating temperature. The cycling thermostat in the icemaker has to be satisfied at about 20°F for it to cycle on its' own. Look for an air leak around the doors and the ice door and make sure all fans are operating properly. If no issue is located, the control board DA41-00546A may require replacement since it controls the icemaker on this design. Read More...
Matt September 20, 2015 for Model Number RF26V Samsung fridge quit dispensing water. Hear a humming noise when I push the dispenser.
1 Answer Matt, The most likely cause for the unit to not dispense water when you hit the lever would be a faulty water valve. Read More...
Bill August 08, 2015 for Model Number RF26VABBP/XAA-0000 Ice maker stopped working. I ordered a new one (have not received it yet. When I press the reset button nothing happens. I'm wondering now if I have a bad solinoid and need to replace the water valve or is the icemaker unit the problem?
1 Answer Bill, If you press the reset button and it does not cycle then the issue will most likely be caused by a faulty icemaker. This would also cause the unit to not fill. Read More...
Brian J March 10, 2015 for Model Number RS2530BBP Samsung When I turn on the water line, the water overflows into the ice tray even when I have the ice set to off. Could this be a faulty stuck open valve?
1 Answer Hello Brain. Test for power to the water valve. If there is power there, the icemaker is bad. If there is no power, then the water valve is bad. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
