Possible Causes

Low water pressure, Partially clogged water filter, Partially frozen fill tube, Overfilling or underfilling by ice maker, High freezer temperature

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn off water supply before disconnecting any lines.

  • Check freezer temperature: Ensure the freezer is at -2°F to 0°F (-18°C). Warmer temperatures can cause hollow or clumped ice.
  • Replace water filter: Install a new Samsung filter if it is older than 6 months.
  • Check water pressure: Verify strong flow at the supply line. If weak, correct plumbing issues.
  • Inspect fill tube: Remove ice bucket and check for partial ice blockage in the fill tube. Thaw if needed.
  • Reset ice maker: Run a test cycle. If ice quality does not improve after several batches, the ice maker or valve may need replacement.
