Before you hire a professional, before you buy a new refrigerator -- STOP and watch this video! This helpful video could save you $1,000's!
There aren’t enough words to express how grateful I am to you for making this video. I have the exact same fridge and was already worried about the cost of calling a tech out and repair cost. I’m truly grateful for content creators such as yourself for creating useful and helpful videos that help other people save money and fix problems. You earned yourself a new subscriber. Thank you sir and God Bless.
Thank you for sharing and I’m glad I could help. Thank you for your support and friendship.
Did your fan turned on as soon as plugged in or did it take a while. I took away ice but still not turning but coils are freezing
Ditto!
Exactly what was wrong with mine, just finished melting the ice with the blow dryer. Temperature dropping as I type. Thanks a lot bud!
How long has the quick fix held up for you?
Didn't know what was wrong with my refrigerator why it wasn'tcooling, followed your video exactly step-by-step and it works perfectly. A big thank you to you! You saved my family so much money. Was going to call someone out to fix it. Took about 1 hour for me, I am not mechanically inclined. THANK YOU AGAIN 😊 Just curious can you help me with a broken dryer 🙂
I just finished to do this for the second time in less than a year and now after watch your video I’m glad to know that I did it right, thanks a lot for the video. All I can say is that it’s easy to take it apart but a pain in the butt to put it back together, especially the screws in the middle.
After owning same model for over 6 years this finally happen to me. Pulled off cover and defrosted and working well now. Thanks for the video 👍🏻👍🏻
Fantastic--Thanks for sharing!
Thank you! so much This worked perfectly. We emptied and unplugged the fridge overnight. It cleared all of the ice except for near the fan. We melted that and put it back together and 40 minutes later...both the fridge and freezer are cooling.
Wonderful--Thank you for your feedback!
Is it still working feb 2021
Good video. Finally, I fix my five years old Samsung RFG237 freezer is not cooling. Before I have to remove the back panel inside of the freezer drawer to defrost due to ice build up. Samsung tech came to check and recommend to replace the control board... I research online to remove the back panel to clean the drain pipes and remove excess water. There is a secret place you need to clean it completely. I also remove the top drawer of the freezer section. It seems this drawer block the air flow because Samsung is using the small motor fan. So far, the freezer temp is keeping around zero instead of 30 degrees before.
Can you post the link where you found how to remove the back panel? Thanks!
Thank you! After ~10 years, this exact thing just happened. Two hours of thawing/chiseling ice, working perfectly.
Careful with chiseling ice you could break something important
Exactly what was wrong with my refrigerator. Perfect fix. Works great now... thank you.
Thank you very much for your video. After trying everything I found your video and Finally our fridge is working. You are a life saver. Thank you, thank you.
1) I'm never buying a Samsung refrigator again. I have a 2016 POS. My fridge always acts up after a power outage. Which happens even on a nice sunny day.
2) It took me almost 3 hours to fully defrost my coil and fan. My fan/fan blades were completely covered in a thick ice. I'm surprised the fan works at all after that. It took about two hours to cool down but early returns indicate we have things under control.
Thank you for the tutorial and pushing paitence.
It is frustrating. Glad I could help though. Did you 'Subscribe' for future updates?
I will not buy one again either. I guess a GE is next.
I’ve gone back to refer to your video at least two times now and just wanted to jump on here and thank you very much for showing us how to do this. Wish you well!
Thank you!
What’s the real problem why doesn’t it defrost on its own
Just followed your instructions and fixed my Samsung fridge in about 40 min! Thank you for this.
Thank you so much! That bit you cut out was a pain in the butt and I ended up ripping the styrofoam even after blow drying over an hour, but it fit back ish lol Fridge is now cooling! ♥️♥️♥️
Glad to hear!
This video was just what I needed. My fridge has been only cooling on freezer side. I have been waiting forever to get appt with appliance guy. So today I found your video and I opened it and yes it was rock solid ice....
Good to hear, thank you for sharing and I’m glad my video helped you.
Really appreciate your video man, I was in here stressing because my old lady been on my back all day about going to lowes😂😂😂😂😂😂
Thank you, glad my video helped and I appreciate you saying so! Thank you for your support!
I thank God for His blessings upon you and this video. It solved my issue. Thank you sir, my fan was ok but there was ice covering the coil.
Glad to hear, thank you for your comment!
Wow, well thank you so much for posting this, but reading all the people who have had the same issues it’s obviously a really badly made refrigerator and Samsung should be held accountable! We shouldn’t have to keep going through this and doing this over and over so I for one an going to hold Samsung accountable and demand a replacement, or some kind of monetary compensation because it’s ridiculous to have to deal with all this. Even a repair person who comes out can’t do anything other than defrost it like we are doing so what a waste of everyone’s time!! This is a completely bad model and apparently other Samsung‘s have this issue too, so yes, the answer is to take them to small claims court or something and then buy a non Samsung refrigerator!!!
Well said! I've heard there are over 600,000 unhappy customers with Samsung refrigerators with the same problem. Hopefully, some compensation will come someday. Thank you for your comment and for your support!
This was done a long time ago in deference to kind fellow who showed my particular model, and how to de-ice it. You could unplug or turn it off from the front panel I believe for several days to accomplish the same thing without taking off the cover. This, however doesn't solve the icing problem with this model or other models made about the same time from Samsung. It will just freeze again. To solve the problem it takes a few different methods each with better or worse results. The fridge has a poor design. It doesn't adequately defrost the upper portion of the cabinet, nor is the drain hole warmer sufficient if ice happens to form in the bottom tray. Adding insulation to various areas, and extending the heating element into the drain hole is one partial fix that may or not be necessary if you do the entire fix which is add another heater for the upper portion of the cabinet. You may do a possible fix without adding a heater by fixing the drain hole icing issue, adding insulation behind the evaporator along with covering the drain channel, that metal piece under the evaporator, with mylar foam tape, and also covering all the copper entry tubes with same up top. This fridge is junk.
Thank you for your comment! Keep in mind, not everybody has the means to keep all their food cold in some other fashion. It could take up to 48 hours to fully defrost.
I wrapped the bare copper tubing with some foil/foam insulation tape about 5 years ago and never had the problem again, you would think Samsung would have done that!
Great idea, thank you for sharing!
Not all heros wear capes. Some wear GoPros! Such a lifesaver! All the thanks in the world to your video!
Worked perfectly. This was a great video. I was about to just throw this out and buy a new one.
Good to hear.
Thank you for your video! It helped us fix our refrigerator experiencing the same problem.
I just did this to my fridge, before I watched this video. At least this confirms what I did was right
So mine was doing the same think. We followed the video and yes it did work. I was about to call the appliance repair store!!!
Good to hear, I'm glad this video was able to help you!
Thanks a lot for this video. I had to do this for the 2nd time in 3 months. Obviously the 2nd time was a breeze. Do you know what causes this and what if anything can be done to prevent it? It's an old fridge so I'm not opposed to just getting a new fridge too.
The cooling and heating elements are too close to each other which is what is causing the condensation forming the ice. See if there is a way to widen the gap between these to elements, space, insulation, etc. Good luck
I wrapped the bare copper tubing with some foil/foam insulation tape about 5 years ago and never had the problem again, you would think Samsung would have done that!
@@timabbott9101 hi Tim. Where did you get the foil/foam insulation tape from please an also the brand name of it. Thank you
I have to do that every few months. I wish Samsung recall this model, or create a fix for this issue.
Kevin Flanagan you need to change a part that’s responsible for defreezing. There are tutorials about it on the web.
Yes its something else causing your ice build up. Im trying to figure that part out too. A month after I thought I repaired it this way.... the issue is starting again
I'm just curious, do you still have your same Samsung Fridge?
@@fixintodoitall yes
Thank you very much you helped me a lot was heaven a big problem with my fridge and because of you it's brandnew no thank you again
Thank you so much my fridge now working fine, you are a life saver
You're welcome! Did you 'Subscribe' to my channel for future updates?
Thank you, i was able to do it myself. Your video was simple and clear.
Thank you for the step-by-step!! Your video saved me $$!!
Thank you for your comment. Glad I could help!
Huge help! fixed in an hour!
So did you actually do anything to fix it or just defrost it?
I never did provide a follow-up video; wish I had. One year later I took it apart again, better re-insulated the two elements better than the manufacturer, and haven't had any more condensation since. Thank you for watching my video and asking your question.
Thank you! Saved me a service call, at least for now.
Thank you for your comment!
How long after you completed the job did it take for the temperature to start dropping
Less than an hour. Thank you for asking.
Just leave it open for a couple of hours it will defrost . Now what made it freeze up like that what’s the real problem how long did it work before it froze up again.
I have the same issue. When I remove the screws the panel resists coming out.
We have to go thru this at least twice a month on this crappy samsung fridge
Hi.. my refrigerator wasn’t cooling last Tuesday and I did what was shown in the video and it worked!! Thank you so much. But today( Sunday) I started noticing some water build up below the lowest drawer in the fridge section. Do you know what might be the issue?
I'm not surprised you found water at the bottom of your fridge; under your bottom drawer. If I had to guess, most likely melted ice from your self-service. I would just mop it up, see if more water continues to collect. Did you 'Subscribe' to this channel for future updates? Please let me know your results after mopping up the water.
Fixin To Do It All : yes I did. I wiped the water and didn’t notice any more water till night. But found some water this morning. So looks like water is collecting only from midnight when no one uses the fridge. The amount of water is around half a cup.
That's interesting. Thank you for sharing. Something must be causing the condensation. Are you sure all insulation was intact when you put it all back together? I would imagine if all insulation was not still in place, it might cause condensation. Samsung really hurt it's consumers on these refrigerators. I know there is a class action lawsuit against them regarding these refrigerators.
@@aneenaarun1869
Make sure the drain hose is not plugged the water is most likely coming from the coils during defrost the hose may be plugged up I cleaned mine with a thin wire and compressed air
Are the door seals in good shape or do you have a lot of people opening and closing the fright all day long
They are sometimes small very small and like to look in the frig for something
Great video ~ do you know if this works on the freezer side as well? Asking for a neighbor 🙂
Sorry I'm just now seeing your comment. The freezer on my fridge never had this problem. Thank you for your comment!
Before you get freaked out, If your panel shows 0 f degrees and lacks normal error codes, and is a USA model check that “display” mode is not engaged.( used for in store display: lights on/no cooling. ) Someone might have set it? Hold Light and Freeze button together for 3 seconds to restart normal cooling mode.
After watching so many youtube videos finally came across this, which is similar to mine. I got this refrigerator from my brother but left in the garage to test it and noticed that the fridge side won't go below 40° even if it's set to 34°. How cold does yours get? can somebody answer this question soon BC I need to make-up my mind whether to keep it or not. Thanks!
After separating the coils as shown in this video, I’ve had no problems with this fridge in over 4 years. Either insulate better, or push those two coils further away from each other. The condensation is the problem because it freezes. Wish I made a video showing this, hope this makes sense.
Bro! Thank you very much. God blessed you.
You’re welcome!! Thank you for your support!!
Thanks for taking time to do this!
Thank you for your support!
Just did this this morning. Thank you 🙏
Did you 'Subscribe' for future updates?
Just did!
Great video!! Fridge running like new now!! Thank You!
How long did it take for the fridge to start cooling back down? Mine has been back on for about 20 minutes and hasn’t dropped a single degree
I believe it took close to 6 hours before it got back to the desired temperature.
I had the same issue and this was the fix! Thanks
Good video man I appreciate it thank you very much like your video
Thanks for the info, will try!
I was able to fix my refrigerator yesterday after watching this video. Any idea what might have caused the issue ?
Heat melting insulation. Insulation fails. Heat and cold too close to each other, creating condensation. Condensation then freezes.
Great video! I had the same problem on the fridge side. After taking out the back panel and clearing the ice, it worked for some time but now, the evaporator coil is no more having frost at all. The fridge side remains at 39-43 degrees. I changed the temperature sensor and still no luck. Do you have any advice for me? Thank you!
I wish I could my friend. I'm no help with your problem without seeing, looking and feeling my way around the problem. I hope you find some answers.
@@fixintodoitall no problem. I appreciate your response. God bless you!
@@thomassankara2857 It sounds like you have fixed your problem. The temp in the fridge should be in that range.
Can I just unplug refrigerator and leave ice buid up to melt at room temperature instead of uncovering the fan ? I have secondary refrigerator so I don’t worry about contents going bad.
Yes, you can. But not everyone has that as an option. Thank you for your feedback and support.
@@fixintodoitall
Thank you so much sir !
It worked . You know how to save people’s money
God bless !
I did this and it now cools. Thank you. However, the temperature is not getting down to the exact temperature on the display. I put a thermometer inside because it feels like it just isn't getting cold enough. It reads 41 when the temperature is set to 36. Is there a way to calibrate the temperature? Or, is it a failing thermostat? Maybe the sensor is too close to the coils inside? Thoughts?
Thank you!
It would be easier for me to look and feel around. I'm afraid I'm not much help on your question. I like your suggestion about the sensor being too close to the coils. Good luck my friend.
Hello, I have a Samsung refrigerator model RF28HMEDBSR and the fridge cools but the freezer does not, do you know how I can fix it?
Most likely a frozen fan not pushing cold air into the freezer. It's so hard to say without being there. **IMPORTANT--UNPLUG YOUR SAMSUNG REFRIGERATOR BEFORE TAKING ANYTHING APART** If there is no longer a warranty on this model, I say, try your confidence and feel your way through it. **IMPORTANT--UNPLUG YOUR SAMSUNG REFRIGERATOR BEFORE TAKING ANYTHING APART** :o)
Thanks
.great job..my fridge works great now
I'm glad. Did you 'Subscribe' for future updates?
Can we do this to the freezer door side as well?
Didn’t need to with mine. Is your freezer side not working?
Not bad Rookie! Thanks for the help!
Thank you for your comment. Glad I could help!
What did you do to it other than thaw the ice out? Check the defrost heater, thermistor, clean the cooled, what?
Everything I did, is in the video.
Fixin To Do It All So basically, you manually defrosted it.
I do not mean to be mean or smart ***. You said you were not a pro. Neither am I a certified pro, but I have repaired many appliances.
Unless I missed something, you cleared a symptom, not the cause.
If this permanently solved the problem, maybe the door was just left partially open allowing warm air to enter the unit and causing moisture which then kept freezing causing ice buildup. Then again, it may have been a fluke if some sort in the defrost system. Something in the defrost system is many times the cause of ice buildup.
Did this fix the problem permanently?
If so, good for you!
@@rickeykeeton71 It's almost been a year. The problem has not come back. Most likely will. I'd rather do this every so often rather then hire a professional, pay hundreds of dollars for a 90-day warranty. But that's just me.
Fixin To Do It All Can’t really argue with that!
Glad it worked for you!
Who knows, maybe the ice buildup caused a bad connection somewhere
May even be possible there was a power surge. Unplugging it for a little while, then plugging it back in may have reset it.
Some of these things can be tricky.
@@rickeykeeton71 I have been doing this for the past 4yrs. 2-3 times a yr. Someday I'll breakdown and buy the part to fix it.
It was good info but what causes the ice build up. Heating elements, timer ?
Good question. I'd like to know.
I am having the same problem. Ours lasts a week with how much we have the door open with four kids. I have done a lot of reading. The problem is the sensor on the defrost component around the condenser. I bought a replacement and am about to replace it, that is why I am looking at videos. If you want, message me and I will share my results once we see if it fixes it. One problem with these models is the sensor for the defrosting element is in a terrible spot. Lots of people suggest moving it. For me I know that mine has just stopped working so I am hoping a full replacement fixes it. If not, I am going to be supremely angry with Samsung. Already am frustrated enough to never buy an appliance from them again. If I can’t fix it, I won’t buy a single Samsung product ever again as a boycott.
@@chrisshawnthomas hey I'm interested to see how your repair went. I just fixed mine for the first time if it happens again I will be looking to replace the sensor like you.
@@sareynoldssr I am having the same issue. How is yours working now? I know drying it won't fix the problem so I rather fix what's causing it. Let me know how yours working out.
@@chrisshawnthomas well did it fix the problem??
This definitely helped us and fixes it for a while but it always ends up freezing again.
Anyone have an idea of what part we could order so we can have this issue replaced and fixed?
I was told separating the coils from each other will help or eliminate this problem. I did so with distance on mine, after my second service on this issue. No problems since, and it's been 2+years. I know some have installed insulation to separate the hot from the cold. I think this was Samsung's initial solution; insulation. But this is what failed. The hot coil/tube melting the insulation away. Me, I just pushed the two away from each other and no more condensation freezing due to less condensation. Hope that makes sense? Perhaps I should just do another video where I take it apart and show how I've provided distance between the hot and cold.... hmm. Thank you for you feedback and question.
It took almost 6 years for my RF263 to develop this problem. I hope I can get it working, still waiting for it to thaw.
Good shit sir
Thank you for eating ;o)
I have the exact same frigerator doing exactly the same thing, what keeps the frigerator from icing up again after it's defrosted what is causing this problem to begin with?
Try to separate the hot and cold coils from each other with distance without causing a break) and new insulation. This will help reduce condensation bringing the freeze. This is what I was able to successfully do. I only wish I had captured it on video--I didn't because I didn't know if it would fix the problem. It did. Hope this helps.
@@fixintodoitall thanks for posting the video
I just ordered defrost booster coil kit for the evaporator it was $100 I'll keep you posted and thanks again for the great video content
I got all 6 screws out and I’ve been blowing the dryer on it for 45 minutes. Still won’t come off. Any tips?
Sorry for the late response... I hope you figured it out. I'm sure the ice was still holding onto the panel.
They are JUNK my Samsung Refrigerator JUNK ! JUNK
I've had nothing but trouble with it
And Samsung will not do anything about it
Pretty much! Thank you for your comment!
Great video helped me out a lot.
Thank you for your comment. Glad I could help--Sorry for the late response!
Thanks so much worked perfectly
Awesome👌Thx
Your welcome--Glad I could help!
Why did it freeze up in the first place? Seem to me it will freeze up again.
Hot and cold components are too close to each other causing condensation. Then the condensation freezes, then stopping the fan from blowing the cold. Try to separate the two with better insulation.
@@fixintodoitall Thanks for the fast reply.👍
Yup, That was it alright! .... Thanks 10^6
Thank you for sharing and thank you for your support in watching my video
I will NEVER buy Samsung again! It’s CRAZY that one can invest $3000-$4000 in a refrigerator that starts having problems across the board in less than 2 years!!! The fridge worked beautifully...until it doesn’t (like I said...LESS than 2 years!) You will pay multiple repair calls until finally your warranty “runs out” and “too bad for you”...DO NOT let this happen! Demand a replacement BEFORE your warranty runs out! Don’t be naive like so many and assume Samsung will do the “right thing” ...they care about money. Period. My husband is...as I type this...once again holding a blow dryer to the block of ice built up behind the panel. The whole fridge was warm (61 degrees). It’s a wonder no one has gotten ill in my family. Which angers me because I have children. There are COUNTLESS other families out there who are in the same boat. (Check our FB pages) Do yourself a favor if you are reading this....do not buy Samsung!!! Buy AMERICAN!
We are shopping now for a replacement. I pray I make a better choice!
It is frustrating.
Do American made refrigerators even exist? I thought all the parts were from China even in American brands. This stuff is really cheap. It's amazing what they charge for these refrigerators considering how cheap these parts are.
Thank you so darn much!
You're welcome. Thank you for your comment!
My defrost coil heats, but gets too hot (400+F), so any melting ice dripped on the defrost heating element and instantly evaporated. This caused high humidity in the refrigerator, and thus contributed to once again icing up the coils, rather than the water dripping into the hole. My fix was to add a $5 12v temp controller to the 12v line that turns on the defrost heating element, and set it to cycle off and on to keep the element closer to 200F. Now humidity stays 40% to 60% vs 80 to 100%. The coils stay defrosted without build up, and it stops the viscous high humidity cycles that end up freezing to the fan. If the element temperature is limited to a lower temp, it won’t fail as often. Drip water drops on your 400F oven element to see what is happening as a test, then try again when set to under 200F.
Can you provide a part number for how you fixed yours and a little more detail on where to install the part? This is the first solution I've read that makes sense. Thanks
Thanks for video, but this keeps on happening again and again after some time. Is there permanent solution?? How to stop ice build up near pipes and fan?
Prabhjot Singh - the coil heater element is most likely bad. I replaced mine and all is good.
@@ryanmace8614 thank for your message. I ordered replacement part and will see how it goes.
@@prasi23 how'd it go?
@@OSIRUSofSMURF after replacing the part it worked fine for some days but ice build up started happening near the pipes coming from back. I insulted it, applied aluminum tapes and raised the refrigerator from front as one of another fix I found online. So far its fine, if it happens again then I am buying new one and No Samsung ever..
What did you end up doing with your fridge?
What is the fan+motor called i need to order one and cant find the correct name for it.
Hmm, I'll look into it as well...
Try Evaporator Fan Motor, P/N DA31-00146J.
So instead of doing all this work can I just turn the fridge off for 24 hours?
Yes. But not everbody has a second fridge. Not everybody can afford to let their food go bad, then easily replace all their food like myself; I probably have over $500 worth of food in my fridge. There are some people who only have ketchup and beer in their fridge--those people can simply leave their fridge off for 24-hours. 😁
I thought the same thing about jut turning the fridge off ... thank you for reminding me how blessed I am to have a second fridge. God bless you
@@fixintodoitall was it a permanent fix or did u have to do it again later on some time...could it be from moisture,condensation,because maybe sometimes people,kids,ECT...tend to leave it open for ever...
@@adrianamorales818 Good point, and very good question. I can say, since I posted this video I haven't had this problem again. But if I had to put money on it, I'm willing to bet I'll have to do this again; as I didn't replace any parts.
Did u defrost the fridge side
Yeah, but not everybody has the means to keep all their food cold in some other fashion. It could take up to 48 hours to fully defrost. Thank you for your comment!
I melted and warped the plastic leaving hair dryer on HI and shutting the door.
We have a crappy samsung double door fridge. At least twice a month we have to go thru this process. Samsung knows their products have this ice build up problem, but they refuse to honor their products. They should be put out of business. When someone pays over $2000 for a fridge, it should last awhile.
Ok so.....how do we keep it from doing this again?
Do your best to separate/insulate the hot and cold coils from each other. This was Samsung's initial mistake which is why condensation is building, turning to ice.
Piece of advice for anybody don’t ever buy any Samsun kitchen appliances!They’re horrible! warranties horrible service is horrible. Everything about it. It’s horrible, I bought all Samsung appliances for my kitchen and the first year my dishwasher stopped working and when I called for services they came and to repair it, but the repair was more expensive than buying a new one and when I ask about the warranty since I only have a one for one year, they told me that the warranty didn’t cover the piece that stopped working and when I ask so what causes that? they didn’t know apparently “it just happens” ….. three years after that my refrigerator broke down and I have to call somebody to fix it and their repair $600, a year after that, the handle of the microwave literally just fell off for no reason! Now the kitchen The oven is not working properly anymore I’m writing this comment the refrigerator stopped working again only two years after they repair they did. Can’t wait to call on Monday to see what kind of BS they’re going to tell me I’m a refrigerator now…😡 so yeah when it comes to appliances stick to OG like General Electric.
Sorry for your bad experience with Samsung--But thank you for sharing!
You edited out the only part I need to see…. Taking the panel off…. 1:58 trying to see how you take it off properly. literally the most important part you took out
Yeah, sorry, my friend. This was my very first video. I had to do a lot of prying on that panel, I did so with only my hands. I believe this was due to both ice and glue. Thank you for watching.
@ right on I think mine is just frozen I didn’t want to pull on it to hard
Low refrigerant causes this issue
really? did you add refrigerant to yours?
tell us about it, please
Hmm.
Like the rest you, I've had to defrost my fridge three times within the last year. Does anybody have a real fix for the build up of ice? Has anybody contacted Samsung with this problem to see if they have a fix? It seems to me that there is a problem with the heater. I'm thinking that the heaters purpose is to dry up any moisture that forms in the fridge, no moisture = no ice. But with the fridge set at 38-40 degrees, how does ice form since freezing is 32 degrees?
Defrost clock or board thingy may need one .??????
My was the defrost thermostat .
Because it's much colder around and near the coils.
my Samsung fridge flashing 27
3 years old
Good to know, thank you for your comment!
This piece of shit Samsung refrigerator that I have has pissed me off for five years.
what caused the problem. just defrosting it shouldn't complete the problem
Heating and cooling elements are too close to each other; causing condensation. Separate the two with better insulation. I should have done another video for this, but I didn't.
same model as in the video 2010 model 1st time i replace the evap fan the 2nd time just a defrost and i insulated the evap tubes and i kept the temp at 36 and it lasted about 6 years, you can put it in a manual defrost mode, when you open the door the fan stops and the compressor stays on causing the ice to build up and the defrost heater can't keep up
Thank you for sharing.
Rookie fix. NEVER EVER use a hair dryer. You're going to compromise the plastic and Insulation and make it worse. Use a steamer instead.
Oh yeah, I was a rookie everything when I shot this video ;o) Thank you for the feedback.
I'll never buy a samsung again. POS
Ooo CT d
boycott samsung appliances
I had to do this to mine periodically because it would freeze up and the fan stopped spinning. I held the panel with the fan under running warm water to melt the ice and that didn't affect the wiring. Didn't know it then but all my appliances are Samsung, which are trash because they stop working after 2-3 years. Never buy Samsung again!
You defrosted it, but how to fix the sensor problem that is CAUSING the freezing over...... repeatedly....????
I didn't have a sensor problem. I had a condensation problem from the hot and cold coils being too close to each other, this is what caused the frost build-up in mine. I haven't had any more problems with my fridge ever since and I don't have an explanation as to why; I just defrosted mine and that fixed my problem. Thank you for your question, best wishes to your family.
You didn't fix anything waste of people time all you did was defrost it
Even if it only defrosted, it got the fridge up and running again-That’s a fix. Thank you for your comment.
Thank you for posting this. This fixed my fridge.
