Samsung 40E — Ice Maker Error

What This Code Means

The ice maker has detected a fault — typically the ice tray motor has stalled, or the ice maker sensor circuit is open. Displayed on models with an ice maker in the door.

Common Causes

• Ice clump jamming the tray motor
• Failed ice maker assembly (motor or sensor)
• Water supply line kinked or frozen
• Inlet valve not delivering water to the ice maker

DIY Steps to Try First

1. Lift the ice maker arm to the OFF position, wait 10 minutes, then lower it to ON.
2. Check the ice bin — remove any large clumps that could jam the auger.
3. Verify the water supply valve behind or under the fridge is fully open.
4. Run a test cycle if your model supports it (consult the owner's manual).
