This guide shows how to remove and replace the icemaker auger assembly in your Samsung refrigerator.
The auger assembly fills the icemaker with water and spins the auger to push ice to the door dispenser. The assembly consists of a motor, ice flap solenoid, water tube heating element, and thermistor. If you try to dispense ice and don't hear a motor whirring, you may need to replace the auger assembly.
This guide will work for most Samsung Refrigerators. This guide is based on a model RF28R7201SG Refrigerator. If you have a different model, you may encounter some minor disassembly differences, but the overall repair process will be the same.

GOOD MORNING NICO! My Samsung Refrigerator is a unit built in about 2012. In STEP 9, you show a screw that needs removal to slide out the air tunnel. It appears that my model is a one - piece design. It does NOT have the screw. Any ideas how to proceed?
