Difficulty

Most people can clear this one at home with simple checks.

Safety first: unplug the refrigerator (or switch off its breaker) before touching filters, hoses or panels. If you smell burning or gas, or see water near the outlet, stop and call a professional.

How to fix Samsung Ice Off

  1. Reseat the ice bucket

    Remove the ice bucket, check that nothing is stuck behind it, and slide it back in until it locks. On dual ice bucket models, face the bucket the right way, with the scoop holder toward the front.

  2. Check for frost

    If ice or frost is stopping the bucket from seating, do not force it, chip at it or use a hair dryer. Samsung advises requesting service instead, because the ice maker area can be damaged.

When to call a technician

Request service if the bucket sits correctly but the light keeps blinking, or if frost is stopping the bucket from fitting.
