After watching a few you tube videos on the Samsung ice maker removal, this repair was not that bad. The key to this repair is PATIENCE!
Unplug your fridge, have a steamer and Phillips & straight screw driver handy. Remove ice bucket, place rags or paper towels in bottom half of ice maker. Fire up your steamer and melt ALL ice befor ... Read more e proceeding! Once all ice is gone, remove one screw to the left on cover for the wiring, remove plastic wire cover , remove screw just below ice maker itself, push locking tab in to release plastic lower tray attached to bottom of ice maker. Once you do this it exposes the refrigerant line (u shaped) under ice maker. If you can still see ice once that plastic cover drops down, yep... more steaming , if you try chip away any remaining ice damage will result to that refrigerant line then it’s game over. Fridge needs to be replaced! Once fully clear of ice , carefully pry that refrigerant line down a bit so it is released from the bottom of ice maker. Do not bend it down too far only enough so it will clear when pulling ice maker out. Un clip yellow electrical connector to ice maker and gently pull the ice maker towards you and down to fully remove. As you are pulling it out be sure refrigerant line does not get hung up. Once removed you may find more ice build up on top of auger assembly. All ice/ frost needs to be gone. Follow u shaped refrigerant line back towards the styrofoam, push one clip on each tube towards the back with the tab facing down! The plastic rectangle trim piece slides off fairly easy. This web page gives detailed pictures on what to expect, as there could be other issues in that ice compartment that need addressed! https://edmondappliancerepairokc.com/samsung-french-door-ice-maker-frosting-up/
Hope this helps, it sure made a difference in mine. The ice maker has been producing ice like never before!

Took out the screw, removed the broken part, put new part on, put retaining screw back in.

This unit was given to me by a family member that bought it as an open boxed item. During delivery, the unit was dropped on the concrete floor from the tailgate of a truck. The screen/monitor shattered, door cables were severed and the doors' hinges were pretty banged up and rendered the refrigerator useless for a while. I was determined ... Read more to fix it and luckily parts select had just what I needed. I was able to order the hinges to mount the doors, the screen from Samsung and I was able to find a parts guy to solder the cables. The fridge is cosmetically banged up but works like a charm! Thank you parts select!!
