Hi guys. Today I found a small puddle on the floor under the freezer side door. Saw water trickling down the front of freezer door. Ice was all caked up inside the ice maker bucket and down the dispenser shute making it almost impossible to open the door it was solid shut.
Got door open and inside I found ice in the bucket was all clumpy as if it thawed then froze again? Water was also trickling from the front of ice maker trey and I had icicles coming off it down on top of the frozen meat. There's also some light seepage of water coming from the bottom of the doors front operating panel but I suspect that's because some ice/water got inside the door when the dispensary shute was a clogged solid icicle in it.
I immediately ran to basement and shut off the water supply to fridge. Chipped out enough ice to get bucket to sink and shopvaced out any standing water and ice.
I would expect to see this if the power was out or something but it hasn't been. Freezer and fridge side still cold and operating good nothing was thawed inside. So I'm suspecting something failed in the ice maker. What would cause this to happen?? See pics. All help is appreciated oh yeah it's a Samsung side by side from around 2013 I believe.
