Where Is the Reset Button on a Samsung Refrigerator?

The reset button on a Samsung refrigerator is found on the interior side of the refrigerator, either on the control panel or behind the ice bucket.

Not all Samsung refrigerators have a reset button. Samsung refrigerator reset buttons are commonly found in refrigerators with water filters or ice makers. The reset button helps you restore your Samsung Refrigerator to its normal working mode.

For Samsung refrigerators with water filter indicators, the reset button comes in handy after you change the refrigerator’s water filter.

Signs That Show That You Need to Reset Your Samsung Refrigerator

Here are some of the signs that show that you need to reset your Samsung refrigerator:

1. Erratic Temperature Display

The temperature display is erratic and blinking wildly, or it’s not even working at all.

This could be due to several reasons, such as improper closing of the refrigerator door or leaving the door open for too long.

It could also be that you have some hot food in the fridge (it is always advisable to let food cool a bit before placing it in the refrigerator).

2. Refrigerator Still in Shop Mode

It might also be that your refrigerator is in shop mode, which is the mode the refrigerator typically is in the showroom.

The lights would be on in this mode, but the compressor won’t run. So, the cooling action will be off. The same goes for the ice maker and water dispenser.

That way, potential customers can see the nice features of the refrigerator without it running any cooling operation.

Once you pay for the refrigerator, the store resets it to activate normal functions, since you may not know how to do it on your own or forget to do it.

Also, somewhere along the line, while using it in your home, you may press a button that takes it back to shop mode settings.

Either way, a reset is needed.

This allows you to access the test button. How you remove the ice tray will vary by model, so consult the user manual for specific steps to remove the tray.

Next, locate the Test button behind or under the ice maker. But you may want to ensure you find the correct location for your specific model. Press the button when you find it and hold it for some seconds until the ice maker chimes. Depending on the model, you may have to hold it for about ten seconds or more.

Let go of the button when you hear the chime because it indicates the ice maker is in Test mode. Allow the test to run for its duration without interrupting it. The test may take about six minutes, so do not worry if it does not seem fast enough.

Samsung Ice Maker Not Making Ice After Reset – Solved

If the ice maker in your Samsung refrigerator does not make ice after resetting it, there are several things to check. Ensure the ice maker has adequate water supply and the water pressure is enough. Insufficient water supply or water pressure can stop the machine from working. Also, a faulty auger motor or clogged water filter restricts the water flow to the ice maker.

Other possible causes of the problem are ice accumulated in the ice maker and storage bin, and a defective water inlet valve. If you recently replaced the water filter, check the flow from the main source and adjust the saddle valve. Open it to the full and inspect the inlet valve; it may be clogged, leaking, or not working because it is electrically controlled.

Replace the inlet valve if it does not open enough or at all to fill the ice mold in the ice maker. Remove the ice storage bin and check for ice clumps in it. Run warm water into it to melt the ice and clear the ice maker if it has ice stuck in it. Ensure the ejector blades turn freely and the auger motor runs smoothly. Otherwise, you may want to replace the auger motor or storage bin.

The water pressure must be at least 20 psi to supply water to the ice maker. You can use a pressure gauge to check the pressure, and adjust or fix it with a pressure regulator. Buy these devices from any local hardware store.

Note: These repair steps also apply if your Samsung fridge ice maker only works when the reset button is selected but stops afterward. The same applies if the ice maker does nothing when you press the reset button.

Ensure the water inlet valve is not overfilling the ice maker if it leaks after a reset. Typically, the ice maker resumes normal functions after resetting it. But if the inlet valve malfunctions, it may cause an overflow. Also, check the refrigerator’s leveling; an improperly leveled can cause minor errors, such as the ice maker leaking water.

Check the pressure with a water pressure gauge and if it is too low, use a regulator to fix it or hire a plumber for the job.
