The sound is random and only lasts for a few seconds each time, but happens several times a day. The appliance dealer I bought it from does not have a repair department and the Samsung website and owner's manual does not contain an answer for this. I have attached a link to a YouTube file I found which perfectly describes the noise I am talking about. Can someone tell me what this problem is and give me a potential fix for it please? Here is the link to the sound on a YouTube page: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=...41SVvIfKhYVhzWigO4_SJaCZ

I'm curious if that would make it quieter. Does yours make the same noise as the one in the video? Its a really horrible noise.

I did think air might be in the line, so I turned the water off long enough to unscrew the water line and run a couple of gallons of water through the line to bleed it. Then I turned the water back on in order for the ice maker to work.
