Refrigerator Model:  RF24FSEDBSR/AA  Manufactured: Aug 2016

Ice is building up above the ice maker fan, interfering with the fan blades subsequently making noise.

There is a large chunk of ice forming above the ice maker auger fan.  Is this normal?Screenshot_20230310-103150~2.png

The plastic structure surrounding the rigid foam insulation appears to be deformed.  Would this contribute to ice build up in this area?

Hi there, Thanks so much for reaching out about this. I can certainly understand the concern with the ice build up in your ice maker. The first thing I recommend to help with this, is following the steps in the link below. This link is to our troubleshooting guide on ice maker issues. https://www.samsung.com/us/support/troubleshooting/TSG01001012/

Once these steps are completed, if you are still getting ice build up in the ice maker, the unit will require service. There are a few options here we can take based on your warranty status.
