Samsung Refrigerator RF261BEAE: Ice Maker Stopped Dumping Ice

Fri, 26 Dec 2025 11:56:13 -0700

I have a 2.5 yo Samsung RF261BEAEBC/AA french door refrigerator. The icemaker has suddenly stopped dumping ice. The temperature is set to 2 degrees and the icemaker button is 'On'. When the reset button is pressed, the motor kicks in, the perfectly formed ice drops and the tray refills.

I've replace the water filter and the icemaker module, all to no avail. I've turned everything off, then back on. I'm not sure what to try next. Any help out there?

Samsung Refrigerator RF261BEAE: I was told by service tech that the main board had failed.

He stated that this board was obsolete and recommended simply buying a new fridge. He wasn't trying to sell a fridge, employer is service only. I found a main board but can not determine the location of board in fridge. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Samsung Refrigerator RF261BEAE: Fix for torn door gasket

Sun, 11 Aug 2024 08:12:54 -0700

I have water pooling up and freezing in and below bottom drawer tray. Through research I have found the cause to be a frozen drain line (Bad design, but easy to fix). I believe the cause is condensation on the evaporator coil caused by outside air getting into the fridge.

The French door gaskets should overlap at the top of the doors, however the tabs tear very easily and eventually break off.

Before I buy an new gasket kit, does anyone have an easy fix for this?

stupid annoying reflections...
