1Ice maker freezing up
Ice builds in the door ice room, jams the auger and stops ice and sometimes water. A worn seal, failed heater or fan is often behind it.
How we fix it: We clear the ice and fix the root cause. See ice maker repair.

Samsung is a South Korean company and one of the largest refrigerator makers in the US. Its fridges are known for sleek French door and four-door Flex designs, the Family Hub touch screen, and Twin Cooling Plus, which uses separate evaporators for the fridge and freezer.
Many Samsung French door models make ice in the left fridge door, inside a small insulated ice room. It saves freezer space, but it is also the source of Samsung’s best-known problem: ice building up in that room and jamming the ice maker. We see this on Samsung fridges across La Mesa, from rentals near SDSU to new homes in Rancho San Diego.
Samsung fridges also display error codes that point to the failing part. That helps us diagnose quickly, as long as the code is read with a test, not taken as the final answer.

Common Samsung codes: 21E means a freezer fan error, 22E a fridge fan error, 5E a fridge defrost sensor error, 33E an ice pipe heater error, and 39E an ice maker function error. If the display shows “OF OF,” the fridge is in demo or cooling-off mode, which is a setting, not a fault. Codes can vary by model, so check your manual.

Two short reads that answer the questions we hear most about this.
Answers to common questions from Samsung owners.
Warm, moist air can leak into the door ice room through a worn seal, or a heater or fan can fail. Ice then builds up and jams the ice maker. Fixing the cause, not just melting the ice, is what stops it.
22E is a fridge fan error. Samsung says it can happen if the door is left open too long. If it returns after a reset, the fan or ice around it needs service.
It means the fridge is in demo or cooling-off mode. It is a setting, not a fault, and can be turned off from the control panel.
Many Samsung models use a separate fridge evaporator. If it ices over, air stops flowing. A failed defrost part or fan is usually the cause.
Yes, in most cases. Ice maker, fan and defrost repairs cost much less than a new Samsung fridge.
No. We are an independent repair company. If your Samsung is still under factory warranty, contact Samsung first so the repair is covered.
