About three weeks ago, the ice maker on the new fridge iced up. Again. Repairman ordered a new icemaker and said to keep the doors open to defrost naturally. So fed up with Samsung brand! Doesn’t matter if under warranty. What a pain in the rear!

Not defending Samsung. We too have an ice maker in the door. Our refrigerator is a whirlpool and our ice maker also failed after 5 or so years. In terms of failure rates the ice maker seems to be the most problem prone. If, I recall the complete assembly with install was between 150 and $200.
Like most things they don't make them like they used to. My sister still has a WORKING GE refrigerator, an antique, with the motor on top. The date on the motor is 1936.
