For the Samsung bottom mount refrigerator, you will find it in the back left corner attached to the ceiling in the freezer.
The ice maker looks almost like a white box. For some models, it has a cover on it. It is also called an ice bucket.
Sometimes the ice bucket tray gets scratches like toilet bowl scratches. You need to change it then.
Here I have shortlisted some top recommended ice bucket trays for you:
Step 2: Take the Ice Maker Out
For all the models, the process of removing the ice bucket is almost the same.
You need to first hold the bucket with pressure. Then take it slightly upwards while giving the pressure. You may find it hard sometimes to bring it out.
For some models like with a heated tray, etc you will find a latch on the right side above the bucket. Press the latch and hold the bucket with slight pressure to bring it out.
In this way, you can easily bring the ice bucket out.
Step 3: Find the Reset Button
As I have mentioned earlier, there are some differences between different Samsung refrigerator models. So the resetting button is also at different positions for different refrigerator models.
By the way, do you know the working process of refrigerators?
And where is the reset button on Samsung Ice Maker?
For some models, you will find it on the front of the ice bucket which is under ice tray motors. It can be in any shape.
For models like a refrigerator with a heated tray, etc you can find the reset button at the right side of the ice maker. It can be blue. The button is a kind of rubbery too. It is usually rectangular.
Step 4: Press the Reset Button

For the models from 2010 with a heated tray, press the reset button until you hear the sound of the chime. This chiming sound indicates that reset is working.
Every Samsung ice maker reset doesn’t chime. If your refrigerator is from 2009 or older than that with a heated tray, then it will not chime. You need to press the reset button for about 10 seconds or longer than that for this model.
Now after pressing the button, replace the ice bucket completely like it was.
