We own a RF267AARS/XXA refrigerator. Ice maker works slow. Hardly ever makes a full tray of ice in 24 hrs. Then for no reason quits making ice for 2-3 days. I the pull the ice-tray out a couple of times and then within 6-10 hrs it'll start making ice slowly. We always get ice from the dispensor located on front door. We only pull ice-tray out when it quits making ice. Samsung RF267AABP i get one batch (about 6 pieces) of ice a day.   somebody help.

If it's like my Samsung, there is a reset micro switch button in front of the box containing the ice cube tray. Press it and the machine resets, the ice cube tray rotates, dumping the cubes. It then rights itself and fills with water. Hope this helps.

Hello, Thank You for using FixYa. I will be helping you today.Is it filling all the way to make a full tray? If not you may need to replace the water filter. If the water pressure to the unit is low it will slow down the icemaker also. I would start with the filter and water pressure. The only other thing is the thermostat in the ice maker but if the freezer temps are ok and the icemaker is producing some ice im sure the thermostat is ok.
Thank You and please rate my answer if it was helpful..

Hi,

Here is a tip that I wrote about the reasons why ice makers do not work.

Ice Maker Problems and Ice Maker Troubleshooting

Hi: Not knowing how long it's been hooked up... Ice production can take as long as 72 hrs to start. Usually 24 to 48 hrs. The freezer also has to be stable at 0 degrees F to start producing ice. The tray mab be full but it wont dump untill 0 degrees F. Another thing is it's human nature to keep opening the freezer to see if Ice has been made. This justs dumps the cold air out and will slow the ice production. Just because your food is frozen dosn't mean it is at 0 degrees F. Ice cream should be rock hard. Try setting your freezer colder and allow 24 hrs for it to stabilize. This is the best try and it usually works, before calling a tech. I hope this helps, Jeff

there may be some thing stuck in the ice machine try checking it out

Well here is How I fixed My French Door Ice Maker, It made the same loud crashing sounds, and seldom put out much ice. To the point that it made no ice at all.

First, Make sure you can get water out of the front, if not, your water lines may be clogged.

The second thing you can do is hit the secret RESET button on the upper front side of the ice maker. See my first image for it's location, it is a soft rubber button.

The third thing.. In my case the reset button worked for a little bit. But eventually stopped. I had to remove the ice maker, and found that that several rows of ice had gotten stuck. The swinging arm that smacks the ice out would just strip the gears banging that ice to no avail. So opening the ice maker up and cleaning it out helped. I also cleaned the sensor contact with some alcohol. It is a thin metal strip close to where the gearing housing is. This I believe is ultimately where the problem starts. It allows the trays to get overfilled, and the ice can't be released. Once I cleaned out the tray of stuck ice, cleaned the sensor, plugged it back in, and hit the reset button once more, It was making loads of ice once again. If this fails, you can get a complete new ice maker online, I found a vendor on eBay selling it for a reasonable $80. You can use my pictures to see how to disassemble for repair ore replacement. My fridge by the way is the RF267AARS.

the part number is: DA97-05554A

It works with the following refrigerators
Samsung RF267AABP Samsung RF267AABP/XAA Samsung RF267AARS Samsung RF267AARS/XAA Samsung RF267AASH/XAA Samsung RF267AAWP/XAA

I have this model and it has stopped making ice for two different reasons. These solutions may not fix your particular problem, but they worked for me.

Problem #1: the water inlet to the ice tray is frozen shut.
Solution #1: Raise the door that hides the ice tray. The water inlet is the black rubber nozzle on the right-hand side that points down into the ice maker. Squeeze the rubber nozzle between your fingers to break up any ice that may have formed inside the nozzle. This will clear the water path into the ice maker. Lower the ice tray door.

Problem #2: an ice cube is stuck in the ice tray.
Solution #2: Raise the door that hides the ice tray. Look for any pieces of ice that were not completely ejected from the ice tray - they are usually partially ejected and are very easy to see. Carefully (but it may require a good deal of force) remove ice cube from tray. Lower the ice tray door.

I hope this helps.

Sounds like ice maker is defective.

check controls make sure no one has changed settiings should be around middle setting

Is your freezer keeping the right temps?? If freezer temp has changed it will affect ice production, stick themomator and check freezer temp

Look at ice maker make sure theres no blockage of pieces of ice slowing ice maker
