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.
Oh that’s good to know about door ice makers. This ice maker is actually a sealed compartment in the refrigerator, but it is supposed to dispense from the outside of the door. It has never worked since we got it. I tried to defrost it so I can open it and inspect it, but it beeped every 10 seconds for 15 minutes, and we eventually decided it was too aggravating to continue. Whoever made the decision to make it constantly beep while defrosting is an asshole.
That’s part of what they were getting at. Anytime you want to freeze something, it should be in the freezer. Attempting to over engineer a hack to put it in a warmer space sets it up to fail.
I’ll certainly remember that when it’s time to replace this one. Thank you. Hopefully that time is far away, because I don’t want to spend thousands of dollars when I don’t have to. I refuse to replace it with something equally shitty, so its replacement will be expensive.
