Well here is How I fixed My French Door Ice Maker, It made the same loud crashing sounds, and seldom put out much ice. To the point that it made no ice at all.
First, Make sure you can get water out of the front, if not, your water lines may be clogged.
The second thing you can do is hit the secret RESET button on the upper front side of the ice maker. See my first image for it's location, it is a soft rubber button.
The third thing.. In my case the reset button worked for a little bit. But eventually stopped. I had to remove the ice maker, and found that that several rows of ice had gotten stuck. The swinging arm that smacks the ice out would just strip the gears banging that ice to no avail. So opening the ice maker up and cleaning it out helped. I also cleaned the sensor contact with some alcohol. It is a thin metal strip close to where the gearing housing is. This I believe is ultimately where the problem starts. It allows the trays to get overfilled, and the ice can't be released. Once I cleaned out the tray of stuck ice, cleaned the sensor, plugged it back in, and hit the reset button once more, It was making loads of ice once again. If this fails, you can get a complete new ice maker online, I found a vendor on eBay selling it for a reasonable $80. You can use my pictures to see how to disassemble for repair ore replacement. My fridge by the way is the RF267AARS.
the part number is: DA97-05554A
It works with the following refrigerators
Samsung RF267AABP
Samsung RF267AABP/XAA
Samsung RF267AARS
Samsung RF267AARS/XAA
Samsung RF267AASH/XAA
Samsung RF267AAWP/XAA
SOURCE: Fresh food side warm. Freezer works fine.
I think you are short of refrigerant, needs to be topped up and checked for leaks.
SOURCE: Icemaker freezes up and deposits ice at the bottom
The water inlet valve on the back of unit opens when the ice
maker needs water. If the valve doesn't seal good because of sediment or wear
it will continue to drip and when the water reaches the ice maker supply tube
it will freeze and can't go where it's supposed to. You can take the water
line off the valve and watch to see if it drips.
Testimonial: "Thanks, I've been struggling with this for a year now and no one (repairmen) could figure it out. "
