Samsung Refrigerator Icemaker Assembly Replacement (Freezer Icemaker)

소개

This guide shows how to remove and replace a broken icemaker assembly in your Samsung refrigerator.

This guide will work for most French-door Samsung refrigerators where the icemaker is in the freezer compartment. If your icemaker is in the refrigerator compartment, follow this guide instead.

This guide is based on a model RF28T5001SR refrigerator. If you have a different model, you may encounter some minor disassembly differences, but the overall repair process will be the same.

This type of icemaker uses a twisting mechanism to loosen the ice cubes from the plastic ice tray. Oftentimes, the tray cracks from repeated operation and the mechanism won't release the ice cubes anymore.
