I looked into fixing it and it’ll cost almost $300. I refuse to spend any money to fix a stupid Samsung. So, my wife wants a new refrigerator made by an actual reputable appliance company, but I don’t want to spend $3000. So we just live without ice, and I anticipate this will be our life until the refrigerator stops working completely.

      Lol, idk why neither of us considered that. I guess because we rarely use ice anyways. Neither of us are fans of ice in our drinks. The only time I wish we had it is when I need to fill an ice chest.

      LA resident living in a 1960’s apartment here and welcome to my world! I drink iced coffee so every day I’m scurrying about the kitchen with my cursed Amazon ice trays and dripping water everywhere. #YOLO

        I have great success with these.

        You fill the cup with water, add the lid over the sink so you catch the spill, and in the freezer it goes. Super easy to remove too.

          My wife has those, but I need ice cubes so I can measure the weight of it going into the coffee (I use the Japanese pour over iced coffee method with a digital scale).

                So, it’s basically a two part item. The mold is soft silicone that has a cube structure on the inside. The lid is hard plastic and has a hollow dent inside. You fill up the silicone mold and push the lid in, and the dent in the lid pushes the extra water out, so the water just stays in the part of the cube structure. When it is frozen, you take the lid out and squeeze the soft silicone part, and the ice cubes fall out in the middle. Sometimes there are tiny links between the ice cubes, but they are easily broken when you squeeze the mold.
