Ice maker overflows ice, causing bucket to jam and ice to spill into freezer.

Safety first: Unplug the refrigerator before handling the ice maker assembly.

Steps:

• Seat bucket properly: Remove and reinstall the ice bucket, ensuring it is fully inserted and level.
• Inspect level sensor: Some Samsung models use an optical sensor or mechanical arm to detect ice level. Check for frost or debris blocking the sensor window or arm movement. Clean and defrost as needed.
• Test operation: After cleaning, restore power and monitor ice production. If overflow continues, the sensor or ice maker control is likely faulty.
• Replace ice maker: Replace the ice maker assembly if the level detection mechanism is integrated and not serviceable separately.
