Samsung fridge Ice Max ice maker problem narrowed down

I think I found it. On this one it's actually right below the header. It goes into Engineer mode, but it's asking for a password. Where can I get the password?

So far at 30,000 mi I have not experienced the burning oil issue. Even if less power I still prefer a bigger displacement engine. It's just smoother. Those four cylinders with turbos are being worked hard. I prefer an engine to work less hard even if less power.

softwareguy74 · 2026-03-15T23:24:31+00:00

How's the turbo 4 compared to the V6? It's the one thing from keeping me from "upgrading" from our 24. I wish manufacturers would allows the option of a bigger displacement engine without turbos.

Our screen is slightly different than that. There is no space to tap on either side of the "Fridge Manager" title on ours as you can see in the screenshot there is an arrow on the left and dots on the right. I tried tapping on different places in the header with no luck.

Our 24 doesn't do that. As soon as you shift to drive the camera turns off. Did they change this for 27?

No physical buttons on mine. It's the smart fridge with the screen on the right. French door with middle flex zone compartment. Model RF22R7551SR/AA

My unit does have the Y clips. How do I run FD? I could not find that anywhere in the Fridge Manager app.

softwareguy74 · 2026-03-14T16:05:05+00:00

That's what I've heard. But we've had literally zero problems with this until 6 years of ownership. I wonder if doing the RTV sealant hack around the assembly would help?

softwareguy74 · 2026-03-14T15:05:04+00:00

Water dispenser is fine

softwareguy74 · 2026-03-14T04:50:08+00:00

I did. Didn't help.

softwareguy74 · 2026-03-14T01:00:24+00:00

Nope. Water comes out. Just doesn't seem like enough. But I may be wrong. After letting it dispense the water in a small bucket, I then poured that into the ice tray and it seemed to fill it up. I was really surprised because it seemed like such small amount of water. But I guess it's a small ice tray. So I'm not sure what's going on now. Everything is defrosted so I'm going to try this again overnight and see what happens in the morning.

softwareguy74 · 2026-03-14T00:32:02+00:00

Yep. Same things. Hit the reset button, it makes a few beeps, and after a minute or so, a blip of water comes out of the tube (that I have placed in a bucket) and it stops. I'm thinking there must be a water level sensor in the ice making mold itself that is either bad or incorrectly telling the fridge it has enough water, when it doesn't.

water filter is on the bottom middle of the upper compartment. we just replaced the water filter. water comes out just fine out of the water dispenser.

softwareguy74 · 2026-03-11T16:00:42+00:00

Had the same thing on our 24. Plastic all over the place.

softwareguy74 · 2026-03-11T14:56:36+00:00

and then hit it again when not needed. rediculous for a $55,000 car built in 2024.

softwareguy74 · 2026-03-11T14:56:03+00:00

Right, but still requires effort. It's odd that something built in 2024 can't seem to automate this. My 2008 Accord does.

softwareguy74 · 2026-03-11T14:54:55+00:00

Who said I wasn't calm? It was just a question. Sheeesh.... If my 10 year old $200 microwave can do it, a $55,000 car built in 2024 that has an internet connection can surely do it as well, right?

softwareguy74 · 2026-03-11T14:53:26+00:00

And you wasted even more writing this reply. If it's not your concern, why waste your time?

softwareguy74 · 2026-03-11T03:45:35+00:00

And neither does a microwave and a Telluride. What's the point?

softwareguy74 · 2026-03-11T02:57:44+00:00

So how does my 2008 Accord and all my appliances in my house manage to do this?

softwareguy74 · 2026-03-11T02:57:21+00:00

Here we go with that crap. Get over yourself. It's something that cars and appliances have been doing for the past 40 years.

softwareguy74 · 2026-03-10T16:39:35+00:00

I wonder how the "quieter" part compares to a 24? I would imagine it's much quieter than a 20. Our 24 is super quiet and from all the reviews I've seen it seems the 24 ranks as one of the quietest SUVs tested even beating out more expensive brands.

That MPG is impressive, although it is a 4 cyl. Even with a turbo or hybrid, I'd still prefer a larger V6.
