Refrigerator ice makers can sometimes get stuck or stop working, requiring maintenance. This has tips if your Samsung refrigerator ice maker will not dispense ice.
An ice dispenser is a wonderful addition to have on your refrigerator, if it is working properly. If your refrigerator makes ice, but will not dispense it, there may be something blocking it or the refrigerator need to be repaired.
I have Kenmore side by side. Two days ago everything worked fine and then it happened. It still makes ice cold water, but when I push for ice to come out nothing happens. I don't hear the motor or the crushed ice. What do I do?

My fridige is only three weeks old. What can I do for the ice to drop down in the glass?

My Amana refrigerator ice maker does not drop the ice when the lever is pushed to get the ice. What is wrong? It was always working till just this week.

I have a 2012 Kenmore French door bottom freezer refrigerator, that is making ice, but the ice will not dispense. The water works. There is no noise when the dispenser paddle is pushed. The auger is in the correct position. Maybe it needs a new motor?

Ice is being made satisfactorily. The motor sounds to be running normally. The spindle from the motor, visible when the ice bucket is removed does not turn. Is it mechanical or electronic and what to do?

I have a side by side refrigerator and the ice maker is making ice however it's not coming out the tray. The tray itself keeps getting frozen which doesn't allow the ice to dispense.

My ice maker is making a clicking noise and not making much ice. Ice appears to be in the maker, but is not dispensing. I noticed smoke tonight.

We have Kenmore bottom drawer refrigerator ice dispesner that is intermittently not dispensing ice. It has a loud click when it opens or closes the ice flapper door. When it is not dispensing correctly, which is more and more often now, it opens and then immediately shuts the door and does not engage the ice maker at all. If you open and close the door enough times it will finally re-engage and operate normally and dispense ice. However the next time you try and get ice it does it all over again. Any ideas on what the problem could be?
Thanks,
Greg
This sounds like you have some ice frozen in the door hinges. I would take a cloth with some hot water and try and get all the small ice shavings out of the door.
I have purchased a refrigerator freezer. The ice maker makes plenty of ice, but it will not come down the dispenser into the glass.
Here are a few things you can check:
I have a nearly new refrigerator with ice in the door. The icemaker makes plenty of ice and when I hold a glass to the lever, a sound is made but the ice only dispenses once in a while.
After the first couple of times, we stopped trying and we scoop the ice out of the tray. The water dispenses fine. What could be the problem?

Make sure the ice shoot in the door is not blocked. We got a new one last year and had the same problem.....there was a piece of plastic tape in there....removed it and it fixed the problem.
I have a Whirlpool frig. The motor runs but it won't dispense ice; the auger is not turning.
Try to thaw out the motor first. If that doesnt work, you will have to replace it. Instructions are here homeguides.sfgate.com/
You may want to contact your local Sears Service Center (Google and your zip code) and see if they can tell you some solutions over the phone or in person. They will want to send a service man but you can just say you want to try it yourself and can they tell you what part you might need.
If you need a motor they can order it for you and it will come with instructions on how to replace your old with the new.
You can try any suggestions before calling a service person as these trips will run into lots of money.
Maybe something from one of these links will help:

My Whirlpool refrigerator makes ice, but only dispenses water no matter which button of the three is depressed. I don't know if it is a problem with the board or possibly just the selector buttons.
