Had a weird one with a Samsung fridge ice maker in a rental unit yesterday
The auger motor on a 2021 model just gave out, no warning at all. It was the whole assembly, part number DA97-15234A, and it's a known issue they don't really talk about. I had to pull the whole thing and order the kit, which set the owner back about $130. Anyone else run into this specific motor failure lately?

Samsung appliances are junk now.

My Samsung fridge has been running fine for seven years with zero issues. stellachen, maybe you just got a bad unit or had a bad installer. Their Bespoke line gets great reviews for being easy to fix with swappable parts. I know a lot of people who have had their washers and dryers for a decade without trouble.

Man, that's a real pain. Is it just me or do these newer models feel way less solid? I had the same exact part go out on a fridge last month, no warning at all. It's frustrating when you know it's a common problem but there's no real fix from the company. That repair cost sounds about right, which stinks for the owner. Stuff like this just shouldn't happen on a fridge that new.
