Samsung Refrigerator Error Code Ice Maker Function Error (Cubed)

This error means the cubed ice maker assembly has experienced a mechanical or motor function failure. The control board detected that the ice maker motor could not complete its normal harvest cycle. Ice production from the cubed ice maker is halted until the issue is resolved, typically by replacing the ice maker assembly.

A reset alone will not permanently clear this error if the underlying mechanical or motor failure is still present. The error will return once the refrigerator attempts another ice maker cycle and detects the same fault. Resolving the root cause, typically by replacing the ice maker assembly, is necessary before the error will stay cleared.

If the issue requires replacing the cubed ice maker assembly, parts alone typically range from $60 to $180 depending on the specific model. If a technician performs the repair, labor costs can add $80 to $200 on top of the part cost. Checking for an ice obstruction or reseating the wiring harness first may resolve the error at no cost.

A knowledgeable DIYer can address this error by first checking for ice obstructions around the tray and inspecting the wiring harness connector for damage or loose connections. If those checks do not resolve the issue, the cubed ice maker assembly will need to be replaced. After installing a new assembly, plug the refrigerator back in and confirm the error is cleared and ice production resumes.

This error does not pose a safety risk to the household. The refrigerator's cooling and food preservation functions continue to operate normally. The only impact is that cubed ice production is disabled until the ice maker assembly is repaired or replaced.
