The famous Samsung Ice Maker conundrum.

Mine keeps chirping at me, so I'm sure its the ice maker

Anyone recommend an Appliance repair guy? Refer's only 10 years old, looks new, REALLY don't want to drop another $2K on a new one.

Are you sure one of the doors isn't open just a little bit causing the alarm to chirp ?.
If the door is closed, try pushing in to see if this stops the alarm. If it does, you may need to clean or replace the gasket because it is not registering the door as fully sealed.
The second problem that can cause this alarm is a high temperature inside the refrigerator.
This means that the temperature is at a range that is not safe for food. You can try setting the temperature lower, but this can be an indicator of a problem. The thermometer could be malfunctioning, or worse, the cooling system in your appliance. Unlike a door ajar alarm, this one can be more difficult to fix on your own if turning down the temperature doesn’t work. It requires substantial disassembly of your refrigerator and Samsung appliances can be particularly problematic about that.
If neither of those then you might try is unplug your refrigerator for a few minutes. This will perform a reset on your refrigerator and hopefully put an end to the beeping.

What's wrong with you? If it was a rifle you'd give it away and buy a new one.

My icemaker on a Samsung plugs and ices up when we use crushed ice.
Stays clear if we use cubed only.

We use cubed and it plugs up but it seems Samsung knows all about their icemaker problems and still won't do a recall.

No help. I bought a Samsung French door model in 2015 that ended up in a class action suit....turned in to a $3k garage fridge without an ice maker...that looks like it has an ice maker. The Samsung fridges suck. So does their service.

Only 10 years old? That’s pretty ancient, these days.

Samsung’s are dam good at looking awesome to get the sale. All them fancy lights and gizmos sell for them. Sort of like a big huge screen on your truck dash and the rest of the interior is carp.

Truth be told, all “lower than commercial” appliances nowadays really do suck. Even some commercial level ones can too. So many interchangeable parts or parts made by other companies.

Our Samsung has a broken Ice maker too. Went fast, like 2 years in. Other than that it's been ok. Lack of ice due to my unwillingness to buy a new fridge is one of the many crosses my wife is forced to bear. Happy wife, happy life or something like that. Honestly she doesn't want to spend the money any more than I do, but that doesn't mean I get a break. roflmao

Why can’t you just fix the ice maker?

You can buy the whole ice maker for under $200, just a few screws to replace it.

There was a shepherd boy who spent his day looking after sheep on the side of a mountain near a big dark forest. He was lonely and he was bored, so he came up with a plan to create a little excitement. At the top of his voice he started to shout “Wolf, Wolf, Wolf”.
