In door ice maker not working
I have a Samsung side by side fridge (RG257 line) that is about 4 years old with an in the door ice maker. It stopped producing ice. Before ordering a new ice maker assembly, I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything. Things I tried:
-Checked ice maker "button" was on.
-Reset ice maker using test button
-Checked freezer temp
-Water flow from in door water is good
-Used a hair dryer on the water outlet and on the mold (careful to not melt anything)

I hit it with the hair dryer a little longer this morning and it started making ice. Not sure what caused it to freeze up after 4 years. Maybe the positioning of food. If it happens again I might bump up the temp a couple degrees in the freezer.

Interesting. I'm not real familiar with the Samsung ice makers but I'm not aware of a freeze up problem. Some of the domestic brands are very prone to that problem.
Post the full model of the fridge and I'll dig deeper in the Samsung tech files.
