Sorry to hear that! Thankfully our repair guy contacted Samsung and they sent the icemaker plus the computer board. Also a part for the drawer that breaks from opening and closing that sets off alerts. So we only had to pay for labor which was enough. It's been a whole year and just froze up. Once in a while we can deal with. But who knows how long it will last. I hope whirlpool gave you your icemaker that you had to replace. What a pain!
Our Samsung icemaker frosts up so that the ice hangs up on the frost on the side of the tray and can't fall into the bin. Then it melts and refreezes of course as the defrost heaters come on. So I keep having to pry the ice out then melt the frost build up with a blow dryer. This is about once a week. So aggravating. Wish this was a solution but not sure there is one.
