Hi Chris,
Yes, the ice maker is removable, but it will require a qualified technician to perform the removal. If you don’t plan to use the ice maker at all, we recommend the Samsung refrigerator model RT70F18LRSRAA, which is the same model but without the ice maker. This way, you won’t need to schedule a service appointment.
You can view the model that does not include the ice maker at the link below:
