Samsung Ice Maker Forced Defrost - How to Fix and Thaw a Samsung Ice Maker That's Frozen Up
Taking out a Frozen Samsung Ice Maker can be very difficult and you could easily damage or destroy it if not done the right way. If your Samsung Refrigerator has an interface similar to this one, there's a secret Forced Defrost mode that will heat up the Ice Maker cabinet, allowing you to remove it very, very easily.
In this video, we go through all the needed steps to get the ice maker out, as well as how to take it apart if you're facing bigger problems than just needing to take it apart.
You'll learn the following from this video:

Remember: If your refrigerator has dirty condenser coils, it could be failing to cool this Samsung refrigerator properly, costing you a lot of money as well as why the ice maker won't automatically operate - consider buying an appliance cleaning kit to prevent your appliance from an early failure.
