Samsung Refrigerator Error Code Ice Maker Function Error (Ice Bites)

This error code means the Freezer Ice Bites ice maker has encountered a fault condition more than three times. The refrigerator's control board tracks these events, and once the count exceeds three, it displays this code to indicate a persistent failure rather than a one-time issue. The ice maker will stop producing ice until the underlying problem is resolved.

A reset may temporarily clear the error code from the display, but because the fault must occur more than three times before this code appears, it is very likely to return if the underlying cause is not repaired. Resetting without fixing the root problem will not restore ice production. A proper repair or part replacement is required for a lasting fix.

Repair costs depend on what component needs to be replaced. An Ice Bites ice maker assembly typically costs anywhere from $80 to $200 or more for the part alone, and professional labor can add another $100 to $250 depending on your location and service provider. If additional components such as the inlet valve or control board are involved, costs will be higher.

The recommended first step is to replace the Ice Bites ice maker assembly. Before doing so, confirm that the freezer is maintaining the correct temperature, the water supply line and inlet valve are working properly, and the wiring harness connected to the ice maker is not damaged. If the error persists after replacing the ice maker, further diagnosis of the control board and wiring may be needed.

Yes, this error is specific to the Ice Bites ice maker function and does not affect the refrigerator's cooling or food storage performance. Your fresh food and freezer sections should continue to operate normally. You will simply not have ice production from the Ice Bites maker until the issue is repaired.
