Display shows 8E; ice maker may stop producing ice or freezer temperature may be incorrect.

Safety first: Unplug the refrigerator before accessing the ice maker.

Step 1 – Reset the code:

• Press and hold Power Freeze and Power Cool for 8–10 seconds.
• If 8E returns, continue with inspection.

Step 2 – Inspect the ice maker assembly:

• Remove the ice bucket from the freezer or FlexZone compartment.
• Locate the ice maker assembly and its wiring harness.
• Check for heavy frost or ice around the ice maker and sensor area; defrost gently with a hair dryer if needed.
• Ensure the harness connector is fully seated and not damaged.

Step 3 – Test/replace the ice maker sensor (advanced):

• Disconnect the ice maker harness with the unit unplugged.
• Use a multimeter to measure the thermistor resistance; compare to Samsung specifications.
• If the sensor is out of range, replace the Ice Maker Assembly or the Ice Maker Sensor if it is a separate part on your model.

When to call a technician: If wiring and sensor test good, the issue may be with the Main PCB or internal ice maker electronics, which require professional diagnosis.
