Code 28 carries the same solenoid meaning. If you are hearing about the fill tube, 43 is the one to look at, and 41 is a further solenoid entry.
Why the alarm is the only clue
An ActiveSmart refrigerator in the RS/RF family keeps its diagnostics out of the display. A solenoid fault on the ice maker is passed on purely through sound or light, so it helps to jot down how many beeps you counted before you mute the alarm.
DCS refrigerator service in San Francisco
Calling (415) 969-2271 gets San Francisco and Bay Area owners to the right place for a refrigerator service request; DCS refrigerator repair has the details. Start with the code, then the model number, then what you have already pressed.
Model compatibility: DCS reuses codes across series and model years, so 29 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
