Product review (2 stars): They only last 4 years, which is why I give this two stars.
I am happy that I can order this through Amazon, and at a price that is 30% less than what Samsung or an authorized service person would charge.  It is really easy to replace.  You can find videos on how to do it.  It took me less than 15 minutes.

But, this is the second one I have had to replace.  The original one lasted 4 years.  I had Samsung authorized service replace it and it cost me $350 including parts and labor.

Now, it is 4 years later and it broke again, so I need to replace it again.  An ice maker should last more than 4 years.

On top of it, it is the worst ice maker I have ever had even when it isn't breaking.  It only makes 7 small cubes at a time and it is slow.  The ice hopper isn't that big either.  On my other other refrigerators, I could use the ice maker to fill an ice chest in the morning and then it would replenish itself by the afternoon. I even pondered not fixing the ice maker, because it is so worthless even when it is working correctly.

I really like my Samsung refrigerator and the design of it.  It is why I bought it.  But, the ice making is something Samsung could certainly learn how to do better.

So, here is the whole story:  The ice make got really slow, only making 1 to 2 batches per day.  I went on the Samsung website and was instructed to reset the ice maker by pressing the reset button on the side.  When I did that, the ice maker stopped working completely.  I wrote an email complaining about that, and all they did was send me a form to fill out so I could pay for an authorized service person to come over.  I will think twice about buying Samsung in the future.  But, then I had some problems with LG appliances also.  Samsung and LG make a big share of the appliances for many different companies, including US companies.  For instance, GE Profile refrigerators are made by Samsung.  But, I will probably go for the GE brand, because I have gotten much better service from GE.
