The ice maker will not quit dispensing ice and it no longer cools

The ice maker will not quit dispensing ice through the door. It will however,stop once the door is open. I pulled the door switch to make it stop but now the fan works but the refrigerator will not get cold. I put the old switch back in and removed the ice maker all together but still no cold air. Additionally the water dispenser is nonfunctional. I have unplugged the refrigerator for 24 hours put everything back together but there was no changes. Any ideas?

For now unplug the pin plug at lower freezer door hinge and disable the dispenser control board until we see if the keyboard or the dispenser board is at fault. Sea Breeze

    Motherboard if you did replace door switch. You better let me know exactly what you did and did not do, Thanks, Sea Breeze

    Sometimes motherboards just go out. Sometimes there is a cause like a defective fan motor or compressor start components. If any of those caused the problem please resolve the problem before replacing the motherboard or the motherboard wil be damaged again by what caused it the first time. I encourage you to go over the chain of events and if anything that I mentioned was in the list of events I think it would be a good idea to follow through with me on my forum or here. I know these refrierators and I don't want you to waste money just replacing the motherboard. Thanks fot the Rate!, Sea Breeze

Dear Help 'Desk, I have a Samsung silver nano fridge/freezer. I've broken one of the removable door shelves in the freezer. Can you suggest a suitable (preferably clear) glue to repair the
Fevi-quick stick fast glue will be useful.It will take few minutes to hold the broken parts.Dont put overload of food stuff on the rejoined tray.But it will hold the basic load.

The ice dispenser and water dispenser on the door will not work
"Prepare for the worst" This is a problem i'm currently dealing with at the moment, ice maker thaw'd and refroze the ice as a block, binding the crusher turbine till it quit working. then water dispenser started spitting till it quit working, but anyway i disconnected the ice maker and water dispenser power hookup, because when i tried to use it it was drawing off the power of the fridge. now i'm to the point where fridge clicks like the relay is going out. in the back of the freezer below the ice maker tray i removed the clip or screw to where when it clicks i can hand spin the cooling fan on the click, and fridge starts up and runs, but don't remove this panel because having it on helps the air push into fridge compartment and keeps cooling elements from turning to a block of ice, " so long story short " its either your cooling fan or relay on chip board that starts cooling fan, i'm no expert but this is where i'm at hope it helps.
