I finally fixed a Samsung fridge ice maker after 4 hours of wasted time

Spent an afternoon tearing it apart only to find the issue was a tiny frozen line behind the back panel. How long did it take you guys to figure that one out?

Tiny frozen line behind the back panel"? OH MAN that is INFURIATING. I would have been SCREAMING after 4 hours and finding THAT. I've done similar dumb stuff with appliances and it always makes me feel like such a moron. Did you have to take the whole thing apart just to see that little line? That's the worst kind of fix. I bet your hands were freezing the whole time too. At least you finally got it working, but wow that's a nasty surprise.

Nah, actually I didn't take the whole thing apart myself, my buddy who fixes fridges for a living came over and found it in like 10 minutes. (I was about to give up and just buy a new one, honestly.) But yeah, my hands were freezing the whole time I was poking around in there before he showed up. The worst part is I probably walked past that stupid frozen line ten times without noticing it. Still drives me crazy thinking about it, but at least it's working now.
