Start here
If Test gives no chime and no movement, Samsung says to power-cycle the refrigerator for two minutes and try again; persistent no-response needs service.
Check these first
- Confirm you found the correct Test button for the specific ice maker.
- Check that bucket removal/installation is correct.
- Run one test.
Fix it in this order
- Power refrigerator off/unplug/breaker for two minutes as Samsung directs.
- Restore power.
- Run Test once.
- If still no chime/movement, request service.
Evidence to keep
- Test response
- Model
- Power-cycle result
Do not make it harder
- Repeated Test presses
- Disassembling energized ice-maker hardware
How you know it is fixed
- Test cycle completes and normal ice production resumes.
If the obvious fix does not work
- If movement occurs but no chime, Samsung considers the reset initiated; wait for production before further diagnosis.
If this still isn't resolved
- Samsung service
