    Thanks so much for spending the time and energy to create, produce and post this really helpful video. We live out in the country, and it's really hard to get any repair folks out here. We've learned how to fix tons of stuff because service folks don't want to drive that 25 miles (even if we pay them?). Ordering parts today. We'll see how it goes!

    Solved the problem, mine has been icing up for as long as I've owned my Samsung. Followed the steps described in this video and my ice maker has been trouble free for several weeks. The steamer is the right tool for the job. Don't try anything else. I have a slightly different model than shown in the video, so the part numbers were a little different. I used a google search to find the part numbers. The process was the same and video really helped out. I get a little kick now every time I use the icemaker. Thank you.

  • @worldsails2000
    @worldsails2000 3 месяца назад +7

    I had this done when the fridge was still under warranty. The fix lasted about a year and it started to ice up again. I then ran across a post that said that the ice maker was re-designed a second time and this one was supposed to be the real deal. I confirmed that the part number was actually a newer number. Since it was no longer under warranty I bought the kit again replaced it all and it lasted another year before it started to frost up again.
    So if you are looking for a permanent fix here is what you do. Throw the Samsung unit out and buy a different refrigerator.

      Thanks for sharing. i was wondering if all of this was worth it. I've had my ice maker replaced and various pieces...sealed with silicon, sealed again with hvac tape, etc... nothing has worked for me. Now I need a control board v2 lol? Or set the temp of the fridge to 36F? All of these seem to be temporary fixes that prolong the inevitable.

  • @fezzick51
    @fezzick51 5 месяцев назад

    Thank you thank you - Really appreciated all the detail, especially showing the difference between the new and old version of the parts (saved me some headaches when I received a 'new' kit part that was clearly the same as the original).
    Beyond that - the fix has been working flawlessly...not sure what exactly did it, but I'm just so glad to pull out that (full) ice tray and not see a speck of frost or ice build-up ANYWHERE inside that ice maker chamber...it's heavenly. Many many thanks!

  • @Autospecialties1
    @Autospecialties1 2 года назад +1

    I called Samsung and complained and they sent a service guy out within a week and he replaced the ice-maker at no charge. My unit was out of warranty by over 3 years and I told them I hadn't had ice for almost 2 years and tried everything short of replacing it to get it to work. I think they realize they had a faulty unit and needed to stay ahead of any class action that in the conversation on the internet. Now I'm happy, happy, happy! Thank you Samsung, you really shined!

    Thank you so much! You video helped me so much. I live in Jamaica so we dont have access to experienced repair techs all the time. 26:24 I did have trouble installing the auger back into the fridge. What I ended up doing was taking a metal straw and putting it down the drip hole and just wiggling it back and forth until it slipped right in. It also let me know it wasn't lined up properly since the straw pushed out as i pushed the auger in. Thank you again for all your help!

    Parts arrived. When I got to the Auger motor the original skinny tube and heater wire were surrounded by custom block of Styrofoam. I tried cutting out for the bigger diameter drain hose in the Sytrofoam, but eventually gave up and just removed it. Likewise I had to drill a hole on one side to route a cable tie. FYI: Drain did not come with a cable tie. I had plenty of my own though. I didn't have a mirror to check the input water tube. I tried using my smartphone on selfie as the camera is at the top but just couldn't get it so again the heck with it. Did the silicone around the edges. Everything is back together. We ended up buying a large ice chest and putting everything in the frig into it. Left the door and freezer alone. Frig is 55 degrees and freezer is 0 degrees and cooling. I'll give it a day and then a couple weeks and update you. Thank you so much for your You Tube.

    • @roberthatcher6308
      @roberthatcher6308 2 месяца назад

      Well I hate to say this, but the ice box went from bad to worse after all that work. I saw another You Tube that used aluminum tape instead of the silicon adhesive. I thought I was thorough with silicon. Oh well. Another day of work.

    Same issues as everyone else with the ice maker freezing! Force defrost about every three weeks! But last week we noticed the food in the freezer getting more and more soft, poured the ice cream out! Took everything out and removed back panel and the coils were bone dry! Took back panel off and cleaned condenser, checked drain tubes, etc. everything was great except the compressor high and low side did not appear as cold or hot as they should’ve been! Refrigerator still cools to 35, but everything else is 67 (middle drawer and freezer). Ordered a 134a kit to refill Freon, but after seeing your video, would it be the mother board?
    Model: RF30KMEDBSR/AA
    Serial Number: 08EB43AJC00020L
    Samsung automatically assumed the issue and declined sending a tech as “it’s out of warranty!

    Very informative, i have a Sept 2017 side by side and my ice maker keeps freezing up. I did a thaw and removed ice maker to change out clips and the flange thingy. However my unit already had that up grade in place. There does not seem to be and light blead into the ice maker so nothing to seal. Tried to remove the motor but could not get if fully out, is there a trick with this model. And finally does my unit require the new motherboard? my S/N is 08HT43BJ900141P REV 2. thanks for any help you could give.

    Thanks for taking the time to make this video. I have seen many over the years but yours is the most detailed and informative of any of them. I’ve had my Samsung refrigerator since 2014. I’ve gone through this process about 1/2 a dozen times and it is so aggravating. I wasn’t aware of the updated kit that was available. I had already taken care of all the air gaps with silicone and replaced that rectangle ring with the Y clips but it just happened again after about a year and a half. I’m ready to do the rest of the retro if that will help. I see you are still producing the vid for my model. It’s pretty much the same as the one in this vid. I’m wondering if you can let me know the kit# I need for it

    Thanks. This is a great video. I have this exact problem with a RF23HCEDBSR/AA-02. In your description you mentioned you had a video in progress. I have done the silicone sealing. There were already Y-clips installed. Also did a forced defrost and made sure it was completely dry in there. Still had issues after a month so I'm back at it by ordering a new ice maker, the DA97-13718C / AP6261444 From appliance parts pros. Hopefully this fixes the issue- but wondering if I need a new control board or any thing else too. Any help would be appreciated!

    My Samsung 4 door was made in 2017. After months of defrosting, I finally got Samsung to come out and they replaced the ice maker around 2022. Seemed okay for about 3-4 months then started forming ice again. I also had ice forming in the bottom of my fridge area and water leaking from the ice maker or ice maker schute and leaking on to our floor and the puddle on our tile floor damaged our new kitchen cabinet at the floor. Samsung came out again and the technicians worked on the fridge again, removed the icemaker and via a zoom call, a third technician said that since I used a hair dryer to melt the ice, that they would not repair. Put the icemaker back and said good luck and goodbye. Will never buy another Samsung product. If they would have just replaced that little gasket on the coil and added some silicon, i believe that would have fixed it for good. Great video. Now I need to decide if I just want to dump this fridge or fix it myself.

In the description you list the rest of the models for my particular model it says production next to it. Can you or any one else clear up what that means. Do I need to new circuit board or can I just replace the maker, drain tube, install the clips and seal up the cracks? Thank you again for all you do.

    I got one of these refrigerators with a house I bought and I have been having problems with icing up. I watched your entire video and pulled mine apart to take a look if anything obvious is wrong. My model number is RF23M8070SG/AA and date of mfr is April 2018 so this is one that should have kit DA82-02638A installed.
    However what I found is mine has the Y clips on the evaporator tubes so that got me wondering, how can I tell if mine already had a kit installed? Did some come with the Y clips and still have problems? The ice maker has a date label of 2018-04-02 and DA97-18859A which makes me think it does not have the kit installed.

    Great video. Out with the old and in with the new. However it has been almost 24 hours now and still no ice being made. Can it take that long before making ice? BTW my buttons to push to start defrost mode were Freezer/Lighting then Lighting x3 to Fd (forced defrost). After defrost cycle of about 30 minutes with annoying beep the whole time. The turn off/on fridge sequence is pressing the Freezer/Alarm/Fridge buttons for 5-10 sec. My Samsung model is RF26J7500.

It was in a short term vacation rental and the owner did not want to mess with the freezing ice maker anymore. It appears this is a fixable problem and I am hoping I can fix it. I am a little unclear after watching your video and reading the text below if I need the complete repair kit as you showed installing and which one. Any help and clues on this would be much appreciated. Thanks, Tommy

    This is a great video! I have had Samsung come out to repair this issue at least 6 times and each time they came out the problem became worse and worse. Now I have water melting from the ice maker into the dispenser chute, of Course it melts, then if you dispense the ice, a bunch of water comes out then the ice which looks half melted. Samsung gave up and supposedly is refunding me because they say my icemaker is unrepairable. (I have yet to see the check from Samsung. I didn't see my model listed below, and want to confirm that the parts replaced were the correct ones, or maybe they were improperly installed. I have is RF24J9960S4/AA. From the video it sounds like the problem I am having may be due to the fan not circulating properly, or a leak, or maybe the supply tube alignment. Samsung replaced the control board twice and the ice maker 4 times in the past 2-3 years. The last time was in March 2023. The first time was in 2018. I remember the first technician applying the food grade silicone, because he said that this compartment is notorious for leaking. After the icemaker was replaced for the first time, the problem appeared to be fixed. Since then every repair was worse and the time in between the issue got shorter and shorter. One question I have. Is it possible, if they put the incorrect control board in, would everything work but the ice maker not chilling properly, or the defrost mode in the ice maker not set properly? If the fridge is not balanced properly, could this cause the ice chamber to not seal to the door? I have checked the door gasket and even added backer rod under the gasket to insure a real tight seal. It seems like this should be an easy fix, but I still cannot determine the cause. Do you have any idea, or know the kit number for my fridge? Thank you.

    Hello, my husband purchased this same (fairly new) fridge from a appliance store he found online. And I love it, for being a used fridge with plastic still on it. But my question is, does the ice suppose to be falling inside the top drawer of the freezer?

    Ordered the parts for my RF28HDEDBSR/AA. Operation went pretty much exactly as described by in his video. Hardest part for me was pulling out the auger motor. I think it was iced in back. I thought I could do this without a steamer (though for the most part I did), but I borrowed the neighbor's steamer to melt around the auger, and after some muscle, it finally came out. Assembly was easy.
    One week later, no icing up at all so far. Thanks BeardedApplianceRepair.

    have you made a video for RF28K9380SG AA ? I think ours was built in 2016. We purchased late 2016 and installed into kitchen remodel in 2017. But we have a chronic issue with our ice maker freezing over. I use a hair dryer usually to defrost but have used a steamer too.

I read that the "D" on the icemaker means that it's the newest version? Also is it safe to assume that the "Y" clips and drain tube are universal to all models?

    This is a known issue. Chat with Samsung customer support. They will send out a local qualified technician and order you parts for free. Mine is doing mine now. Says he does 15 a week. Don’t use a hair dryer to defrost anything. He says people do that a lot. I took out my food left the doors open and used a mug of water that I kept microwaving over and over to speed up the process.

    I have a unit identical to the you showed, but was purchased in the last few years. Shortly after changing the water filter, the ice maker stopped producing ice. It did have a build up of frost/ice that I cleared up with a steamer. My question is, if it does not start to make more ice, do you think this kit would correct the problem. Have already spoke with Samsung and they want to send a service tech out for a $200 diagnostic fee that doesn’t go towards repair. My S/N is 0B2F43BR200912L and model is RF28R7351SR.
