LOL - It's time to contact your landlord if you believe it needs it.

Thanks, I hope it was helpful!

Yes, there does seem to be some issues with these units. Hopefully my videos help get things working again.

You're so welcome!

Good question!!! My contractor didn't connect the overflow switch feature to my furnace. I haven't investigated installing it myself either. Since I live in Michigan and go south in the winter, I'm concerned with the overflow protection shutting the furnace down and causing my water pipes to freeze. Instead I've added Govee water sensors which send my phone an alert if water is detected on the floor next to the condensate pump. I'm considering placing the condensate pump inside a tray with the water sensor to provide more time to fix the overflow before it reaches other areas and causes damage.

@@DIY-Saver Got it, good answer :-). Our heater, Carrier, has an app that tells me when the heater is offline. Not failproof, but similar and also didn't catch this was a furnace, not HVAC.

Thanks, I'm glad you found it helpful.

You're welcome. I see some paint brands are now in plastic cans, so we may not need this in the future. :)

LOL - The pump or the sludge inside?

@TheStormey LOL, I'm glad you found it too. This method works great for bagged ice as well. Enjoy your hash browns!

You're welcome. I'm glad you found the video helpful.

@senecapierson9092 I recall mine being harder to turn on/off, so I loosened it a bit. You don't want to loosen it too much, or it may leak.

@@DIY-Saver Thanks. I tried loosening it a little, but did not make any change. With the cartridge outside of the unit, when I hold the metal bit and then go to turn/spin the plastic end of the body, the old one was pretty easy to turn. The new one was pretty hard to turn. I called Delta back and they are sending me a new one. This one was a replacement for the original, which they sent that with a new sprayer and hose itself, due to white floating particles we were getting with just this 1 faucet (pex plumbing for the whole house, and I have whole house filters, and no other faucet in the house had that issue). Luckily it fixed the issue, but takes much more force. So guess were assuming that the cartridge sent was just defective; hopefully the replacement for this replacement will be good lol

Thanks for your feedback. Can you share the name of the product to help other viewers?

Do you need to turn off the unit prior to replacing??

@amydurkin5704 I would, mostly for convenience, so you won't have all the noise and hot air from the unit

It's my pleasure; I hope it helps.

First I put it back together, then I connected the power and added water until the pump ran to confirm that it was working properly. You may have to replace the pump if doesn't run after adding water to the point where the reservoir is completely full .

@@DIY-Saver yup that was the problem it would kick on when it was completely full. I've replaced it and all is good. Thank you for all your help 😊

​@michaelgriego6882 I'm somewhat comfused. so you replace the entire pump even tho it kicked on after it was filled with water.

@damontslay3582 Good point. I think he meant to say, "It wouldn't kick on."

Either or. You can test it with water. But you dont have to fill it.

Thanks for your response. I'm glad the video was helpful!

Hi silasketgaskets, thanks for your feedback. You are correct that the full cure time is greater than 30 minutes. Searching the web I found this response "10 minutes to set on wood, but it's best to wait 12 hours for it to fully harden." For the purpose of my test, even after 30 min, I found it secured the vinyl plank much better than the other products in the test.

@@DIY-Saver i just did similar adhesion test using SPC with and without foam backer. both applied to foam core composite. 24 hours. foam one can be removed with less force than no foam. i am thinking of using SPC to restore a desktop. waterproof as well as foam core board. adhesion is more than good enough for my purpose. used ordinary contact cement applied to both surfaces, wait til tacky then clamped together. normally SPC applied to floor without adhesive.

Sorry, I don't have the answer for this question. You can either try it or consult an appliance technician.

Hi Sabalon, that's a good idea. I didn't consider it myself. If you do this repair, please investigate it and write another comment letting other viewers know if it's a time saver. Thanks for your feedback and good luck with your repair.

Glad I could help! That's why I make these videos. You're feedback gives me the incentive to continue making helpful videos.

Hi ASDasdSDsadASD-nc7lf, thank you for your feedback. I certainly wouldn’t want to share anything which is illegal. Would you be so kind as to share the section of the National Electrical Code you feel this violates?

Please explain your assertions. The Velcrostrap is not touching any wiring, and Velcro is non-conductive.

That's a good idea. It may be difficult to find the correct part though. I did a quick search for "Samsung refrigerator rf263teaesg/aa-01 solenoid" and the solenoids which appeared only have two solenoids where my refrigerator model has three.

The replacement part for my lower ice maker assembly is DA97-07603B. But this appears to be an updated part number. I recommend going to an online replacement parts site (e.g. partsdr.com) and use their "Does this fit my model?" feature to verify that it fits your fridge. Hope this helps.

Hello TheStigma, thank you for your feedback. I agree that the seal on the container used for storing paint is very important. And people using this method will want to take it into consideration when choosing a replacement container. As for my experience with the use of a plastic nut jar, the paint has been stored for about two years now and it's not showing any signs of leaking or drying out. In addition to your suggestions, I advise people who try this method for paint storage to make sure they clean the lip of the jar after each use to ensure a good seal.

Glad you liked it!

This is a good point. I'm curious, were your ice makers working? Or, were those lines frozen as well? Also, what temp do you have your fridge and freezer set to? I had an issue where water was pooling at the bottom of the fridge because the drain line froze. My theory was the insulation around the drain is insufficient so I raised the temp of the fridge to 38 and the freezer to 0 degrees and haven't had an issue since then. Thanks for your feedback.

How did you defrost it ? I'm having an issue with mine where no water comes out to fill the ice dispenser and that everytime the dispenser goes to dispense it turns and gets stuck somewhere and makes a knocking sound. I miss my ice.

Great to hear!

Correct; I wasn't aware the buzzing actually had a purpose.

Thanks for your feedback

I did the same smacking and used blow dryer to warm up the front left corner in the ice maker area because there was a chunk of frost on a diverter plate.. And SHAZAAM back to normal pressure.

LOL - now you have options "fix or replace."

Glad it was helpful!

Hi qwiksilver, Please keep in mind that I'm NOT an Appliance Technician and don't have all the answers. I assume the top ice maker has a heater; but I have no experience replacing it. If it does have a heater, I have to believe it has a different part number. I recommend researching it further or contacting an appliance repair company. Best wishes on your repairs and please come back and share what you find.

@DIY-Saver Thanks! I spoke to Samsung and unfortunately with my specific model you cannot replace just the heater on the top ice maker, the entire auger assembly needs replaced. Part number is DA97-12540G.

I understand; it does seem to be a first world problem after all. :)

@@DIY-Saver I considered, for a second, buying a new fridge, but then realized that was ridiculous. 😊

@DIY-Saver My line must’ve been frozen. I guess my temp was too low. My brother suggested turning it up to 38-39. After about a day or so it resumed working. 😊 But now my ice maker has stopped working. Ugg 🤦‍♀️ Fortunately I have no problem living without ice.

Sorry, it doesn't sound like the same repair would apply to your refrigerator. Have you tried replacing the filter? After replacing the filter, did you run a couple gallons of water through it (this step helps to stop dripping)?

My water dispenser has a similar issue. I'm trying to figure it out. I think there may be multiple issues. I found one video that shows there can be a problem with the water freezing in the line at the top of the refrigerator. The solution in that video was to run the line externally, which required creating a slot/hole in the cover through which the water line would pass. I've experienced the variable flow that you've mentioned, which I think is air in the line. This condition is temporary in my experience. Sometimes the water flow stops. Removing the filter and giving it some forceful blows with a rubber mallet has had some effect to restore flow. I think that's another issue. When that should have worked, but the water still doesn't dispense, I can hear a sort-of crunch/squeeze sound from the top area of the fridge where the water dispenser line is. I think this is water pressure pushing against an ice blockage. At this point, I still haven't fixed the problem. I'm just looking at what other people have done about it and trying to apply their knowledge gained from their experience.

YW, happy to hear it was helpful.

You're so welcome!

Thanks, I hope it helped. I worked in IT. But I often thought that I should have been an engineer. 😃

@@DIY-Saver I’m a former computer scientist and used to work for Lexmark international. Then I decided to fulfill my childhood dream of being in medical field and went back to pharmacy school 😄. Troubleshooting and attention to detail is needed in hospital pharmacy nowadays. The amount of IT and computerized order sets and procedures is over the roof . There are just as many pharmacist working as hospital IT support team . Helping Nurses , Doctors and other pharmacist running the hospital electronic ordering system smoothly. Understanding and articulating your problem logically is 50 % of the solution. My computer science prof always said regarding our fundamental programming classes . That advice is worth its weight in gold 😄

You're welcome! Yes, the ice makers are another issue with these refrigerators.

You're welcome

Glad it helped!

I did replace my lower ice maker once. The top ice maker is another issue. I have to defrost it about once every 3 months. It's a long drawn out process since I discovered it has an ice build-up on the inside of the ice maker. I've found that I actually have to disconnect the power after defrosting to get the upper ice maker to start working again.

Great to hear!

Glad it was helpful!

You're welcome; I'm glad you found the video helpful.

Glad it helped! thanks.

Much appreciated

You might be onto something there.

Samsung refrigerators are trash!

It's been an issue for over 4 years ! I totally hate this fridge!

Samsung sucks. I'm gna stick to actual refrigerator companies from now on. Total waste of my hard earned money.

Amen. Bought my samsung fridge new and it always sucked. Frozen up ice maker and now the water stopped. Horrible design by incompetent boobs.

Correct, you'll make the connection inside the freezer. Watch the video starting at 6:30.

@@DIY-Saver Yes Sir, I see it now! Thank you so much! Great video!!

You're welcome. Glad I could help. BTW - Mine is still working good and lasts all day long on a single charge.

Excellent! That's why I make videos.
