How to Remove the Front Cover of a Samsung Refrigerator Icemaker

Troubleshooting the icemaker on your Samsung refrigerator requires removing the front cover from the unit. Samsung uses the same basic icemaker on most of its refrigerators. When you remove the front cover of a Samsung refrigerator icemaker, make sure there is no power or water going to the unit. Once the cover is off, the icemaker is fully accessible for removal and testing.
