Problem

Original ice-maker failed

Tools

Screwdriver, blow dryer (to defrost ice-maker compartment)

Repair & Advice

The YouTube repair video was very helpful, but the control panel on my Samsung refrigerator is completely different than that shown on the video. As a result, I was unable to defrost the ice-maker unit and turn the refrigerator off for the repair as instructed in the video. As a work-around, I improvised with a blow dryer to melt the ice buildup before replacing the unit.

Repair & Advice

The old ice maker in our high end Samsung refrigerator froze up several times and based on internet searches it looked like a pretty common problem. I tried a couple of methods found on the internet to thaw it out. That worked a few times then the ice maker stopped working entirely and I've just been filling the bin from ice trays ever since. Finally decided to see if I could fix it myself and came across the Parts Dr video on youtube. The buttons on my panel don't seem to be consistent with any other models - meaning basically I couldn't power defrost - so I just unplugged the refrigerator for a few minutes and used cups of hot water in the bin area and the blow dryer to thaw the coil. I watched the Parts Dr "how to" video before starting which really was helpful then I took the old ice maker out once just to see if the total thaw would get it working again but it didn't help. So I ordered the new ice maker - sounded like the "C" model was improved over my "A" version. I put the new one in and about 10 minutes later I heard it fill with water - the old one hadn't done that in about 2 years. It's been in around a month and it's keeping the bin full and so far it doesn't appear to be frosting over at all. I appreciate the effort Parts Dr made to put up the video as well as making it easy to find and obtain the right part. So far all is well!
