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.
it takes a few defrost cycles to get the old one out. The first time I did it I bought a kit from Parts Dr which replace the board, the ice maker, and other components and that does seem to be $300 now. That lasted for a year and now every year or so I get just a new ice maker off Amazon, the one I last purchased currently is $100. I’m not sure if doing the whole replacement the first time around helped or not.
