Residential Fridge, ice maker

what is the trick to making ice? I push the ice button, but i doesn't seem to work. I assume they plumbed it in? 2017 3731RL Legacy

Probably no water. I found two valves, one under the sink on the back wall and one behind the drawers between the stove and fridge, but your floor plan is different than mine.

There is an "ice on" button on the fridge control panel first and then you need to press the reset button on the underneath front part of the icemaker to start it.

Of course as others have said you need to have the water valves open to feed it water as well.

Tried the ice on button first, but i did not know about the reset, thank you

I will look for the valves, i just picked it up yesterday, you'd think they would have covered that during the walk through.

The reset button is very hard to find and you really have to feel for it and then quickly close the freezer drawer as the icemaker arm drops down to feel for ice in the bucket.

There is a sort of rounded plastic piece to the right front underneath edge of the icemaker. You will find the reset button off the rigid plastic in the indented area to the left of that.

For those with the 3791, there is a second valve in the pantry under the bottom shelf.

Still struggling

Ok, fixed the water leak, found the reset, found the ice on button. now the problem, it wont "run in automatic" in other words, i have to hit the reset button for every cycle. after i hit reset, it dumps the ice, refills, freezes, then thats it. I come back to it 4 hours or in todays case, overnight, and no ice in the bin (as I'm dumping the first 4 trays to clean system). Same thing, hit reset, it dumps, refills, freezes then nothing. I read the manual and its not covered in the trouble shooting. any ideas?

I know this is an old thread but I am searching for an answer to this exact problem. Ice maker cycles once when I push the reset button, then nothing. I have to manually cycle with the reset button. Did you ever find a solution?

Ours is located behind the panel between the fridge and the stove.


Also there is a little light by the temp.display for the freezer that says"no ice". Had to get the bi-focals to read the writing. I thought they were little ice cubes showing that it was on. WRONG

I called Samsung and they were helpful.

Did you ever solve your ice make problem? Mine is doing the same thing. It worked great the first several trips then nothing.

This seems to be a common problem. When I found mine and turned it on I got a shower. Also that ice off button is a bit confusing.
If you camp in subfreezing weather you'll need to shut off under the sink and drain the line under the kitchen otherwise you may freeze the exposed piping running out to the slide. Took me several months to locate that drain and it is about midway under the rig. I'm not gonna crawl under there in winter so I cut off the drain plug on the pex tubing and installed a shark bite elbow and ran pex to the side of the trailer and installed a toilet shut off ball valve so I can now drain that line from the side w/o crawling under.

Yes, after pushing the reset, ignore it, it will automatically start running, it takes about a day, but it started working on its own.

Turns out I was not waiting long enough for it to start cycling. IIRC the owners manual says to wait about 12 hours for it to start making ice. The first day it ran it never cycled but the second day it worked perfectly. I guess in this case patience was a virtue. Good luck with yours.

Diddo

that’s some funny chit right there. Plumbed in the water filters and under the sink ceramic filter this weekend from the RV filter store. Finally turned on the water line to start making us some ice. Waited a day and absolutely nothing. Referred to manual... strike 2.. before going back to the dig out with the head hanging I searched the forum. Low and behold. Yep. A second shut off under the range. Not only that but it was leaking as well as mentioned before due to the Ferrell being smashed. I love this forum. You guys are the best and I can’t thank you enough for sharing your wisdom with the rest of us. Amazing how consistent the manufacturer issues are.
Lmao
Thank again. Sweating in the gulf coast
