For you to be able to defrost your Samsung ice maker, you will have to defrost your fridge manually. To do this, unplug your fridge and ensure that you leave the fridge door open. Wait for the built up ice to melt. If you are in a hurry, you could also force defrost your fridge by pressing combination of buttons on the display panel.

Unplug your Samsung Ice Maker
If you have a lot of time in your hands and you do not mind waiting for hours, you could defrost your Samsung fridge ice maker by unplugging your appliance. However, if you need a faster method or solution, then, we recommend that you try method/step number 4.
Before you start with defrosting your fridge, ensure that you have a towel or rug underneath your fridge. This way you could be assured that your fridge will not spill melted ice/frost water.
Since Samsung fridge does not have defrost buttons, the best way to defrost your fridge is by defrosting the whole unit. Unplug it and leave the fridge door open. If you cannot unplug your fridge, go to the circuit breaker near the unit and switch it off. Keep in mind that when your fridge is on, you will not be able to defrost it.
Defrosting by unplugging your fridge could take about two to four hours depending on the thickness of the ice.
Leave the fridge door open
Once you have unplugged your fridge, as mentioned earlier, ensure that you leave the fridge door open. This way warm air would enter your fridge. This would help you melt the ice build ups.
We also suggest that you pull out the fridge a little and let its doors swing open. This way you could speed up the process.
Use a fan, boiling water bowls or a hairdryer
Another way to ensure a faster defrosting process is by placing a fan in front of a refrigerator. Put it right in front of the ice maker. This would help you melt the ice build ups faster.
You could also place bowls of boiling water on the shelves that are close to the walls. In this process, you could keep the fridge doors closed and replace the boiling water every 10 minutes. Keep in mind as well that when you put bowls of boiling water, ensure that you put a towel underneath them. This way you would not damage the shelves.
Another alternative is through the use of a hairdryer. This could provide you warm air.
Press and hold 2 control buttons
Another way to forcefully, faster and easier way to defrost your Samsung fridge is by accessing the force defrost mode. To do this, you will have to press a series of buttons on your Samsung fridge’s display panel. Keep in mind that when you do this, your fridge has to be turned on.
