I looked into fixing it and it’ll cost almost $300. I refuse to spend any money to fix a stupid Samsung. So, my wife wants a new refrigerator made by an actual reputable appliance company, but I don’t want to spend $3000. So we just live without ice, and I anticipate this will be our life until the refrigerator stops working completely.
Does it come with a freezer? As dull as trays sound.
Lol, idk why neither of us considered that. I guess because we rarely use ice anyways. Neither of us are fans of ice in our drinks. The only time I wish we had it is when I need to fill an ice chest.
fam go to your favorite shopping site and look up “ice tray fun shapes”. You can find stars, hearts, pawprints, dongs, roses, etc.
Just buy ice at the grocery store
That’s what I do, but it’s an inconvenience, and expensive.
Cheaper than $300 for it to break again in 2 years with infrequent usage…
This is Perceived Obsolescence up against Practicing Imbecilescence.

Dirt cheap, open 24 hours. If you have one that’s convenient, hooray!
A simple plastic tray and there you are. They rarely break and never need repairs.
Yeah, usually you can remove the ice maker and. You’ll have the room for the ice trays and bucket, but who knows with these fancy new tech ridden appliances.
The ice maker is in the refrigerator, and definitely not removable. But I’m sure we could make room for a couple of ice trays in the freezer.
You’re thinking about buying a new fridge because the feature you don’t use is broken? K.
No, I said I’m not thinking of buying a new fridge until the whole fridge breaks. My wife wants a new fridge.
LA resident living in a 1960’s apartment here and welcome to my world! I drink iced coffee so every day I’m scurrying about the kitchen with my cursed Amazon ice trays and dripping water everywhere. #YOLO
I have great success with these.
You fill the cup with water, add the lid over the sink so you catch the spill, and in the freezer it goes. Super easy to remove too.
This actually works?! Astounding!! The ice doesn’t just become one unbreakable block?? But how?
I’m gonna send you a pic when I’m home from work, it’ll be clear
Awesome! Thanks!
So, it’s basically a two part item. The mold is soft silicone that has a cube structure on the inside. The lid is hard plastic and has a hollow dent inside. You fill up the silicone mold and push the lid in, and the dent in the lid pushes the extra water out, so the water just stays in the part of the cube structure. When it is frozen, you take the lid out and squeeze the soft silicone part, and the ice cubes fall out in the middle. Sometimes there are tiny links between the ice cubes, but they are easily broken when you squeeze the mold.
Oh wow I totally didn’t get it but this clears up how it works.
Fantastic! Oh my parents would LOVE THIS!
Really appreciate ya!
My wife has those, but I need ice cubes so I can measure the weight of it going into the coffee (I use the Japanese pour over iced coffee method with a digital scale).
Maybe I’m misunderstanding, but couldn’t you use this item and pour the ice into a bowl before you add it to the coffee? Feels like it would solve the dripping water issue at the very least, and take up less space in the freezer as well
Oops, I saw the image incorrectly and assumed it was a different type (if that makes sense).
Unfortunately I’ve also tried a product similar to this but it was annoying because I always had to put something heavy on top to have the inner cup push down enough to make actual cubes. Maybe this one is better than the silicone trays I use now, maybe not.
My original comment was more poking fun at the fact I’m doing this since I moved to Los Angeles (an area of the country known for its technology) as an adult. I grew up with things like dishwashers, ice makers, central heating and cooling, and traffic lights that can be changed by emergency vehicles in my typical crappy state. It irks me that I have to manually restock the ice bin each day.
