Samsung Refrigerator Ice Off Error Code
Ice Off light blinking. Here is what it means and how to clear it, easiest fix first.
A blinking Ice Off indicator means the fridge does not detect the ice bucket in place. Ice will not be made or dispensed until the bucket is seated.
How to fix Samsung Ice Off
Reseat the ice bucket
Remove the ice bucket, check that nothing is stuck behind it, and slide it back in until it locks. On dual ice bucket models, face the bucket the right way, with the scoop holder toward the front.
Check for frost
If ice or frost is stopping the bucket from seating, do not force it, chip at it or use a hair dryer. Samsung advises requesting service instead, because the ice maker area can be damaged.
When to call a technician
Request service if the bucket sits correctly but the light keeps blinking, or if frost is stopping the bucket from fitting.
