Hello EricaM86,
Thank you for reaching out and letting us know your inquiry on how to turn the ice maker off. We apologize if the motor inside is turning and making a noise. We understand how important this matter is for you, especially the motor to burn out. We're here to help.
As per checking, by default, the refrigerator is set to make ice with the ice maker indicator is on.
To disable this function, press and hold Ice Maker for 3 seconds. We recommend disabling the function in the following cases:
• The ice bucket is already full of ice.
• You want to decrease power consumption.
• When removing the ice maker while it is operating, the ice maker
automatically turns off, and the ice maker button (holding down
Power Freeze) will be disabled.
• If reattaching the removed ice maker while the refrigerator is on,
the ice maker automatically turns o
You may also remove the ice maker from your Samsung refrigerator.
Also, I've included a link to the troubleshooting guide to understanding the noises your Samsung refrigerator makes, which you may check anytime.
