I think I have watched every video on how to fix my ice maker from freezing on my Samsung refrigerator and still can’t resolve the issue. I haven’t replaced any parts yet but I am dubious that it will solve it long term. It turns out that putting an ice maker inside the door/refrigerator compartment is a fundamentally flawed design.

That or they melt if the seals break...
Honestly, all upgrades and additional functions in a fridge/freezer are fundamentally flawed. Large partitioned box that gets cold, compressor system to make that so, some seals and a defrost circuit. That's all a fridge should be. No ice maker, no water dispenser, no french doors, no drawers.

Same thing happened to us. Apparently the year model after ours has a defroster.
We just bought a standalone GE ice machine. It's a pain to clean but I'm never taking the 2ft flathead screwdriver to the refrigerator ever again.
