We have a Samsung model RF263BEAESR. Our ice maker only works when you use the reset button to get the ice to drop. I've had the icemaker replaced and am still not getting ice automatically. The technician keeps telling me we do not have enough water pressure to fill the ice maker reservoir. We've tested it and have 60 psi from the water line to the refrigerator. The repairman also told me that the way this ice maker works is the water is released via a set time to fill, not how much water is put into the ice maker reservoir (bad design). So, my question is, if your ice maker is working, how many seconds does the water run to fill the ice reservoir? Ours only runs approximately 3.1 seconds, which even at 60psi I don't think is long enough to fill. Any advise is welcome. Thanks.

press the reset button (black) on the bottom of the icemaker, the system will go through a cycle, and water will pour into the tray.

It's possible that the tube that supplies water to the ice maker is blocked with ice (freezer temp. too cold) and not allowing water to get to the Ice tray.
You can squeeze the tube to see if it's iced, and if so you can melt the ice with a blow dryer and adjust your freezer temp. to the manufacturer's suggested setting and work from there.
I have seen this happen, but there are other problems such as just a broken ice maker too.
Good luck.

It is quite possible the water line near the ice-maker is frozen. I would try a warm hair drier to thaw it out.

I have the same model. This has happened to me several times (usually when the door was kept ajar without notice).
Simply open the door, take a common hairdryer and blow at high speed (hottest also) all around the area of where you can feel the ice in the tray, but hasn't dumped yet. It will usually take about 5-8 minutes of consistently moving back and forth around that area. What has happened is the lines bringing water to the trays have frozen over. When you "thaw" them out, the ice made will dump in about 45 minutes. When you hear the ice fall, you will know it's in working order again. I have NOT heard this is a "flawed" icemaker, only that it is hypersensitive to freezing lines when a door is left ajar. In your case, to prevent this from happening again. If you shut the icemaker off again, make SURE you turn off the source of the water feed BEFORE you turn off the ice maker. By doing this, the lines will empty as it makes it's last tray of water. Try that - very confident it will fix your problem!
