Ditto here. It's a design flaw not limited to Samsung. You can't deliver cold to a unit in that kind of multi-differential setting.I also have a Samsung french door fridge with TWO icemakers, and have had problems with both of them. This thread was actually useful.
Your ice maker will stop working tomorrow.We have the LG model and love it!
Full disclosure... I did replace the doors ice-flapper-door because after like 4 or 5 years it started to drip. Did the job myself and it was cheap, easy and effective.
I don't want to jinx myself but will say, in a rhyming way, nuffing elps izzy wong wif hours. And we love it.
My LG French Door ice maker quit 2 months after the warranty ran out. The tech said it would cost 1500.00 to fix.
We decided to just haul ice from our old side by side in the garage. After 14 months of not making ice, last week it started dropping ice again. We did nothing to it...... it's working perfectly again but I don't trust it.... I don't believe in miracles.

I've seen that price quoted several times on the internet. You can order a new Samsung icemaker for about $125 and a rebuilt one for around $80. I can replace it under 10 minutes (1 phillips screw and 1 plug).
You can find a good YouTube video to show you how.
You gotta turn on the "Super Ice" button.In my opinion the ice dispenser design on French Door's is flawed. Even when working properly, it never keeps up with the demands of a family of 5.
