Samsung Older French Door Refrigerator - Freezer Icemaker Replacement

Introduction

The freezer icemaker produces ice for the ice container in the upper interior freezer drawer.

If the ice maker fails you will have little or no ice produced. You may also have water leakage in the freezer and ice formation which might impede opening the freezer drawers.

This guide was created using a Samsung model RFG298HDRS French door refrigerator manufactured in 2013. Other older Samsung French door units with dual evaporators should be similar.
