Sounds a bit funny if it is a new fridge!! Try washing it out with warm water and a big splash of vanilla essence, works wonders!

I have a Samsung RF265AABP model. I had the same problem on several occasions. One time the problem was a broken temperature sensor wire on the ice maker. The sensor assembly often gets snagged on the ice tray or scoop or something and falls down, making it more likely to snag, and prevents the ice maker from cycling when frozen. It is quite easy to remove the ice maker once you get the drawer removed from the slides. It is held in place by two plastic clips located near the back of the slides. Pop the clips out, and then lift the drawer out. Pull the front plastic cover off the ice maker, then remove the two screws holding it to the top of the freezer compartment. Slide the icemaker assembly forward about 1/2 inch and it will drop down. Unplug the wiring connector and the ice maker assembly will drop right out. The temperature sensor is located in a flexible rubber like unit that holds the sensor against the plastic water tray. This whole assembly often falls out, and may be found mixed in with the ice. I fabricated an aluminum bracket from angle stock to hold the temperature sensor assembly in place, and used a small tie wrap to hold the wire to the bracket, up and out of the way after soldering the broken wire of course. The tie wrap is not shown in the photos below. I drilled and countersunk two holes for the 4-40 screws holding the aluminum bracket. The temperature sensor is not shown in the photo, but the wire comes out the right side and crosses over to the left in front of the aluminum bracket. Aluminum bracket holding sensor in place.

Check your door seals. Outside moist air can cause this. If it is icing right around the door this is probably your problem. If it is the coils you may have a bad defrost circuit or timer.

and ice maker is making noise and was never hooked up

1. Anytime you move a fridge there is a chance that the doors will slide of balance so to speak, the simple fix is usually to readjust them by tightening/loosening the screws on the mount at the top of the door(usually under a cap that is the same color as your fridge). You want the door open when you adjust the level of the door and depending on your model the bottom may need to be adjusted as well. It should be pretty simple just open the door and hold it up a bit to about where you want it to sit and tighten your screws on the hinge, hopefully that helps.

Defrost heater or/and relay is not working

If you like I can help you locate the problem. The error code may be in the service manual but Im not sure about if the manual will tell you how to run self diagnostics if the mother board or the digital low volatage is affected. I enjoy working on the difficult ones if you would like my assistance, Sea Breeze

Power surges normally knock out the elesctrics on electronic fridges, call Samsung for help, the eletcrical company is liable for the repair by the way.

Have you got anything on top of your Samsung if the answer is yes, then that is where it is coming from move everything a part from each of the items make sure they are not touching each other okay.

a flashing display is how samsung shows error codes. try and draw a picture of which segments of the display is flashing. think of the figure 8 and then try to show which part of the 8 is being shown. that is how we can tell what error code needs fixed.

check for voltage at the motor if yes replace motor if no possible wireing or PCB

This is going to be a problem with either the thermostat control or the compressor relay from the freezer to frigde, either way, you will need to call a service tech.

control air comes from the freezer compartment

That is normal it's the heat transfer but just to be sure pull out the refrigerator and see if the fan in the back behind the metal panel is running

Hold the button in for I think ten seconds. It will reset and beep.

Condenser fan is not working properly. It is easy to replace (just a few screws). Get done or do it yourself immediately though. This is a hazard as is.
