Samsung RS model fridge ice maker not filling with ice. QUESTION: I reset the ice maker on my Samsung RS Refrigerator as it was not working properly. I am not getting any ice cubes. The ice maker tray does not fill with water. I used a blow dryer on it to apply heat to the water line. This was to melt any ice that may have formed in the water line. This did not work as the ice cube tray still does not fill with water. Is my Samsung refrigerator problem a possible clogged or bad water valve? Does the water line pass through any sort of filter between the valve and the ice cube tray besides the main water filter in the fridge itself? Do I need to call a refrigerator repair company? Should I contact Samsung Refrigerator Support? Any help you can provide me will help.
Samsung Refrigerator RS Models – Not Making Ice
Answer: Samsung issued a bulletin for this exact NO ICE issue for Samsung RS263T, RS265T, and RS267T refrigerators. Samsung says the water line within the freezer door can freeze. Samsung states to check the orange water line at the front bottom of the refrigerator and see if the water line is frozen. It tells you to disconnect the orange water line and blow air through it. If no air comes out from the end, it tells you to replace the freezer door. However, replacing the door is expensive, some Samsung refrigerator owners simply replaced the orange water line with new and re positioned it and then wrapped it with insulation tape. Samsung’s complete repair explanation is below.
Below is the actual service bulletin from Samsung

I have a Samsung French Door Fridge with ice maker, but no water dispenser (Model # RF260BEAEWW/AA). The problem is the same as mentioned in the original question above. When the test/reset button is pressed, everything seems to be working (mechanically). However, no water is filling the tray. I checked the filter, replaced. I turned off and unplugged the Fridge for several hours. When I turned it back on the temp. in the freezer was room temperature. Reset everything and still no water in ice maker. Does the circuit board in the ice maker tell it when to add water? If I replace the ice maker, what is the chance (percentage) of fix? Replacement looks to be a simple job, but parts are $100+. Is it worth it?
Please reply as soon as possible, so I can get on to the next step.
My Samsung RF4287 fridge is not making ice. The water dispenser works perfectly. I have pushed the reset button and nothing is happening? Is there something else that I can try before calling for a repair?
We’re having this exact same problem. Did you ever get an answer on how to fix it?
I have a Samsung refrigerator model number RH25H5611SR/AA that the ice maker is not getting water. I took the cover off the ice maker and depressed the test button which causes the fingers to spin freely. I will replace the filter to determine if it may be clogged, however the water button works fine and the filter replacement light is not on. I am starting to think the water line in the door may be frozen. This is the second and last Samsung refrigerator I will buy. We returned the first because the contactors for the compressor were chattering.
My Samsung refrigerator French door, model rf266aewp/xaa water dispenser does not shut off, it’s inside and not in the door, what can be done, I have to shut the water supply off to stop it.
I have a Samsung refrigerator model # RF28HDEDBSR that won’t fill water.
I have defrosted the freezer by shutting it down for 2 days. hit the reset button.
Before this happened we had a build up of frost on the inside of the ice maker, that’s why i shut it down to remove the frost.
My Samsung RSG257AARS/XAA ice maker quit making ice. I removed the upper cover and pressed the “Test” button. The ice maker ejector rotated and then filled with water. It works for about a day and then stops again. I repeated the procedure and it fills with water and works for a short time again. The display is also getting so dim I can hardly see the icons. It is cooling and freezing the same as when new. Do you think the ice maker water fill problem and dim display indicate a problem with the main printed circuit board?
My Samsung side by side freezer ice maker doesn’t register to fill back up with water.
The orange hose is not clogged.
I can fill ice tray and it’ll produce the ice but just won’t fill back up.
Ours starts filling with water then a two bel chime rings and the water stops filling. What can we do?
I have a Samsung fridge/freezer model no RS21DCNS and the ice tray is rotating too far and is not dumping all the ice therefore it starts to fill back up with water and overflows please help !
I have a Samsung fridge model# RF4287HARS/XAA.
My fridge stopped making ice.
My water dispenser works find but no ice.
I don’t even hear the water flowing to the ice maker anymore?
Not sure if there is power to the solenoid as i just changed the joiners over so that i could see if the solenoid was working and it was. So not frozen or the solenoid. Still could be a power supply issue.
Jamie,
If the Samsung refrigerator ice maker solenoid is working, getting power, and the water line is not blocked… There may be a timer mechanism that is faulty and preventing water flow.

I have a Samsung srs702GHDss and there is no water going into the ice maker. I removed the electrical clips on the solenoid and reversed them. When i pushed the water button, water came out into the ice container. Therefore the solenoid is fine and the pipe isn’t frozen. Not sure what to do now.
I had this problem with my ice maker. There was no water coming out to fill the ice cube tray. I was not able to easily access the ice maker line from under the fridge so, I decided to first take a hair dryer and direct air into the hose that would usually dispense the water into the tray to melt any ice that caused the line to freeze. After about 5 min, I hit the reset button and 2 minutes later the tray filled with water. I adjusted the freezer to a warmer temp to try to avoid refreezing the line. And it hasn’t had any more problems but, if it does, I would be happy to repeat this rather than purchasing a new door!!
I post in an effort to help anyone else that may want to try this simple solution that only requires removing the top ice cover :)
I have a Samsung RSG257AARS/XAA refrigerator/freezer. It stopped making ice, I re-set the ice maker and the refrigerator itself several times. Still no ice. The water dispenser was working; the water tube to the ice maker was not frozen. Still, no ice. I was able to correct the problem using the following method:
A #2 Phillips-head screw driver is all that is required and a large pry bar. Remove the cover over the ice maker and the ice dispensing unit which is empty because it’s not making any ice. Remove the three screws holding the ice maker to the door. Support the ice maker and remove the four screws holding the dispensing unit base to the door. Pull the dispensing unit base away from the door and unplug the cable for the dispensing unit and the cable for the ice maker. Remove both units from the freezer door.
Place them on the counter and allow them to thaw. After about an hour, disconnect the power to the refrigerator. Re-install the dispensing unit base, the ice maker and the dispenser unit. Restore the power to the refrigerator. Wait a couple of hours and you will hear the sound of ice falling into the dispenser and water flowing into the ice maker.
I have no idea what I did but it is now working just fine.
