- Опубліковано 8 лют 2023
- In this Video, We have a Samsung French Door Refrigerator, With the Ice Maker Box in the Refrigerator, Model #RF23HCEDBBC. However, Please Note that This Repair is For Many Samsung Models, Especially the Ones with an Ice Maker Box inside the Refrigerator. The Issue With this Refrigerator is that The Back Panel of the Refrigerator Kept Building Up With Ice, as Well As the Ice Maker Box. Per the Customer, they Had another Company Try to Resolve this Issue to No Avail. When we First Went, We Were Able to Defrost the Back Panel and Ice Maker Box, Seal Ice Maker Box and Replace the Thermistor. However, It Started Happening Again. We Returned and Changed Out the Panel and the Ice Maker, Because the Ice Maker Was Working Intermittently. After Numerous Tries, We Finally Found the Solution and a PERMANENT FIX! I know Lots of Home Owners Right Now Are Having this SAME Frustrating Issue With Your Samsung Refrigerator, So If this is Yours, Make Sure to Keep Watching Until the End of the Video to See How to Permanently Resolve This Issue!!

This is one of the best videos I have ever seen on ANY topic. You are thorough, honest, and use simple instructions with all the added information any one can need to try to DIY.
Thank you for being you and sharing 😊
You're very welcome! I am So Happy to Hear My Video Was Helpful to You!
Really bad company SHOULD BE BANNED TO SELL DEFECTIVE REFRIGERATORS!!!!!😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
Thank you brother, been having intermittent issues with my fridge for years and now I can finally get it fixed for good!
Excellent video, very thorough. I was able follow your instructions, order and install the aftermarket warmer into the circuit. It is actually fairly simple and it works like a champ. It was freezing up every 30 days, we had to empty the fridge, remove the cover, and defrost it with a hair dryer. IT IS NOW FIXED! A small amount of water under the produce drawers tells me it is melting the ice. Saved me over $2000 for a new fridge. Thanks you!
Excellent! Glad My Video Helped! Thanks for Watching!
Muchas Gracias Amigo.
Great video Bro 👍🏾
Thanks for this video, super helpful! Waiting for my parts order to come so I can repair later this week. Just to confirm- the grounding wire only serves to prevent the added drain heater from touching the original heating element in the fridge?
Hi, does it matter which way to install drain clip? Thank you.
Fantastic video, this is the exact problem my family's fridge has!
Hi there Jeff. Thank you for your tutorial. Being a female I was told I couldn’t do this. Because of you I did this myself. I need to know the name of the part though. I really appreciate your help. I subscribed but I can’t figure out the anchor-looking part that I need for the Samsung fridge. Help. Thank you.
Thank you for this video! We have had to defrost our fridge about every 6 weeks, but now its more often, and so annoying. Im gonna give this a shot!
Good Luck with thie Repair! Thanks for the Support!
Very informative and thorough. Thank you! We are having the same issue. We had repairs on the icemaker for the same issue so many times that we just use trays now. Will buy anything but Samsung from now on. Just not a good product in our experience. Thank you!!!
You’re welcome thanks for watching my video👍🏻👍🏻💯💯
Don't get LG either
Great Job trouble shooting. like you said, a real technician finds the root cause. thumbs way up
Can the drain clip you listed be used on GE Profile French doors? You have an awesome channel. Love all your detail and informative explanation.
Yes, as a matter of fact, some of the GE French door refrigerators are made by Samsung not all of them but there’s a series there are made by Samsung, so yes it will work
@@DIYRepairsNow great, thank you so much.
Hello Brasil 🇧🇷 🙋♂️
Where are you located, can I just hire you for the job?
Thank you
You're welcome!
Hi, I noticed that the tap splice link you have is for 10-12AWG yellow but in the video you used a blue one which is 18-14 awh in Amazon...should I use the yellow or blue?
I'm curious about this as well.
Excellent video!! Now if I can only get the Samsung repair guys to follow it🤦♀️
cool nice job.
Thanks!
Hi what city u in
If I fully defrost the fridge, do I need to replace any parts?
Watch the full video the video will Splaine everything step-by-step
How much does something like that costs to repair? If a fridge is over 10 years old should I just get a new one?
Keep it simple
Should the fan kick on as soon as you plug it back in?
It takes a couple minutes, but keep in mind that the fan only works with the doors close
I got the parts: heating element, wire couplers, and thermostat. The thermostat that was linked is the wrong one (it's too small). so, I left the original thermostat in place, added the heating wire as demonstrated here, and put it all back together. I check back in a month or so to let you know if it's icing-up anymore.
The original termistor is been discontinued. If you have any issues, go ahead and cut the wire splice them the one you order will work thanks for watching my video. Keep us updated.👍🏻👍🏻💯💯
Hi did it work for you ?
IT WORKED!!!
@@DIYRepairsNow It worked for me, thankyou!
@@DIYRepairsNow how do I know if I’m splicing the right wires with the right wires?
You should use food grade silicone.
What is all that foam around the copper wire and the thermistor?? Who did that and did it help prevent condensation from forming in the panel?
All the answers it’s in the video you have to watch the whole video
L I K E 👍👍👍 👍👍 😻😻😻😻😻
Since I moved into my new house I've had icing on the shit Samsung fridge they sold us with the home and between adding the additional heating coil, sealing the ice box with caulking, and changing out the thermostat and deicing thermistor I've finally got a fridge that works as intended with no icing. It's likely the two thermostats that solves it for me but it never hurts to do the others and go from there
how and from where i order the kit?
Links to Parts Are Located in the Description of this Video.
Wow, I wish I would have seen this particular video before. My Samsung gave me problems less than 6 mos in and they sent so many techs to fix or replace the ice maker. Would last a few weeks and then kept icing up. Would just thaw it out but then when the refrigerator part started freezing and then warming up and ruining my food then replaced the thermistor and worked again for a few months. Finally gave up after 3 years of this nonsense and bought a new LG now a year old without any issues. Samsung needs to stick to phones and TVs
I fluxed the wires and then soldered them in. I hate those clips.
I did this but now it runs too cold. Everything is frozen.
Adjust your interior temp to 37, the stock recommended temp. Had that issue too and we always had it set to 34 before.
It’s cheaper to buy a new refrigerator different brand
just throw it out - for as much as the service calls are could have bought an LG
Samsung worse refrigerator ever!!!!!! I wouldn’t take a free one! Mass quantities of ice buildup under drawer in refrigerator!!!!! Totally disconnected ice maker which doesn’t work anyway ! Counting my loss and moving on!!!
How do I know if my Thermistor wire in condenser is broken? is that cable same for my Samsung RF26HFENDSR 36" French Door Refrigerator
Remove the thermistor and attatch an ohm meter to the leads. Put the thermistor in the freezer with the leads and ohm meter outside the freezer. In about 45 mins to 60 mins the ohm meter should read 0 ohms or be considered " closed".
Also the heating element should be checked with an ohm meter to make sure it's not burned out, "open".
Lastly. There is anothe thermistor, condenser, and heating element in the back of the ice maker that is not discussed in this video.
This guy tested nothing, threw parts at it, and required 4 trips to the customers house. What he actually ends up doing is adding a heating element in parallel to the one he never tested.
@@davidcoward9522 yeah seems like he was fishing a fix. He ended up replacing everything but I no longer have warranty to do such
Attention Samsung junk owners, There was a class-action suit that was brought against Samsung refrigerator ice maker problems. Samsung denied any malfeasance on their part but, after waiting several years, they repaired my ice maker issues. They replaced the main circuit board plus all the interior freezer parts. My Samsung ice maker problem has been rectified at their expense and since the repair, My ice maker has been trouble-free. The rest of the refrigerator worked just fine except I couldn't use the ice dispenser for years. You know Samsung could have just fixed the problem quietly but chose to have themselves publicly criticized and forced to atone for a problem that plagued the French door/freezer bottom refrigerators.
The defrost method while functional, did not remedy the icemaker issues because the build-up was severe enough to negate using the defroster which is kept a secret from customers.
