Three Samsung refrigerator decisions: the ice maker assembly, the control board, and the compressor. The ice maker page leads for a reason — on Samsung it is the question asked most often, and usually about a unit that frosts over and stops harvesting rather than one that never worked at all. The other two are the larger decisions, and the compressor page is the one that determines whether the machine stays in the kitchen.
Each page separates the part from its inputs before pricing anything. Frost building in the ice compartment is a seal-and-airflow question before it is a module question. A warm cabinet with fans still turning is not a compressor verdict. A display that resets is not automatically a board. Every page states what evidence would confirm its part, sets that part against the machine, and says plainly where the honest answer is to leave it alone.
Ice maker and board work is line-voltage and water work with no refrigerant involved anywhere. The compressor is sealed-system work and professional-only regardless of skill. Before reading any compressor quote for a Samsung, find out what the sealed-system term covers on your model and serial — it is a separate term from the general coverage and it can change the answer completely.
