Ohhh - do you have instructions for the updated kit?
I don't as of yet I will be making a video in a week or 2
Thank you for posting this. I wonder if there is any risk of damage caused by heat on the fridge's plastic since the metal piece is longer and going deeper inside the drainage.
Thanks for the help. The water actually did not drain properly. After letting the refrigerator sit for a few hours it’s still did not drain. I ended up jamming a wire hanger down the hall from both the back right side, drain and the top and that released whatever was stuck in there!
I’m a 70 year old widow. Your video let me fix my own fridge. Good job. Clear instructions. You are the man!
I'm glad it helped, I have 2 more updated video's coming on this. Thanks for watching & supporting!

@@JeffLepard you know why that back panel freezes up ???
It's been over 2 months now since I did this fix and the water has not returned under the vegetable crispers. Such an easy fix. VICTORY!!!
Spent years having to frequently clear the ice from around the drain on my Samsung fridge freezer. Found this video, bought the part and fitted it. So far, two months ice free :). Cant recommend it enough - so long as you are comfortable taking on the task.
Glad it helped
Learned a great lesson in maintaining this fridge ... not cleaning the drain spout once a year caused huge problems. I want to thank you for this video. It put me on the path to repairing my crazy Samsung fridge (will not buy another Samsung fridge). I got the clip you recommended. My back panel was so frozen that I did not have the strength to take it off and I was afraid I would brake it. Neighbors to the rescue. Two wonderful men got it off the back. That is when I confirmed that the evaporator fan was bad also. Ordered that. But what my wonderful neighbor showed me is that gunk had built up in the drain line in the VERY NARROW opening at the bottom. See attached photos. This caused the complete drain line to freeze and froze up the line including the panel. Once the gunk was cleaned out and the drain line thawed, I was able to replace the evaporator motor and assemble the panel and fridge back together. Will roll my fridges out once a year, vacuum the back/inside, and clean /check the drain system. Lessons learned
I can't figure out how to add the pictures of the drain line and tip. If anyone can tell me, I'll add the pictures to help.
Yeah these fridges are horrible. Most of the issues are the drains in these. Thanks for watching!
Great video! I watched it and then ordered the clip from Amazon. When it arrived, I watched the video again and started unloading the refrigerator. The steps in the video were easy to follow, and I was able to access the problem area, quickly. I discovered that Samsung had left the little metal "tray" in the bottom of the drain rather bent and out of place. I don't think it mattered, but I was able to straighten it out. After melting the ice with a hair dryer, the water didn't drain. I had to run a piece of very flexible lamp cord down the hole. It took about four feet of wire but when I pulled it out, the water had drained. I don't know if there was more ice down there, or if something else had clogged the drain. I ran a little water down it, as you suggested, and heard it drain all the way down. Success! The clip went in just as expected, and I was able to button everything up. The whole operation took about 90 minutes - 30 minutes to fix the refrigerator and an hour to clean it, discard ancient mystery items, and then try to remember how my wife had arranged all the food. I'm sure I at least got the beer back in the right place.
can you tell me about the video? I am not aware of it, but need it. I have begun working on getting my refund for 6 weeks, I am not going to give up, but they are good at what they do. How can anyone do this for a living?
I also ran very hot water down the drain to make sure it was clear of ice & debris.
Only wish I had found this video over a year ago!

Just a note, those ears on the sides of the replacement clip are meant to be bent around the heat tube. That way you ensure more contact area for better heat transfer and better defrosting. More than likely that's the reason some people are still having freezing issues.
Sir, what should I do if after pouring a little cup of water in the drain trough, the water backs up? I'm guessing my hose is blocked like Jeff says.
duane3838, I was able to get my drain hose clear, sorry for bothering you!!!
Thank you for that tip. It makes sense. 👍

@@indirectexchange3139 If it's blocked, it's most likely frozen. Use a hair drier to heat it up.
Thanks Jeff ! Feels good fixing your own stuff. All thanks to you mate. Appreciate your video. Big love from Australia !!
Thank you so much for this! I’m a relatively new home owner (less than 2 years) and this video really helped me a lot. Instead of wasting time and money calling a repair guy to take a look, I was able to fix this completely on my own. It feels like a big success for my first self repair!!

I just ordered the part and I am going to tackle the job sometime this week. Thanks again. Side note: My mustard and sriracha bottles are in the exact same spots in my fridge, too!

Too funny! :-) I just watched the video and sent my girlfriend a screenshot of the location of Jeff's Siracha and noted how we keep ours on the left. Maybe the right is better?
Jeff, this is insane! We've been dealing with this for nine years and I have looked through so many UA-cam videos over the years and I finally find this! Just ordered our part today! We've had to replace the top ice cube maker and now we're getting ready to replace the bottom one because the tray twisted and broke. This fridge is the worse thing we've ever owned!!! Thanks again!
Agreed. Had to do this 3 times. And twice @ 2am. Wish we could all file a class action lawsuit against Samsung. How they ALLOW this to continue is unfathomable

This is great info. Fixed my problem. Thank you for posting it! Great public service!
You saved me another $300 or so. I watched a lot of videos on this problem, but no one else showed up with the correct solution. I was able to fix it myself. About a year ago I had a repair man come to fix the problem, but it showed up again. When I got into the back and saw that he fixed it by putting the larger metal clip on top of the small original clip, the larger one not really attaching to the heat tube, I was amazed. So I didn't have to buy a new clip because I was able to use the one he tried to attach. I got the smaller one out and reattached the bigger one, thanks to your clear and smart fix.

Thank you for taking the time to post such an informative video! We have the Samsung RF28HFEDTBC French Door unit and has been a great refrigerator so far. I thought I may have had the same issue as you, however it turned out to be the drain tube was clogged up at the bottom rear of the refrigerator. I guess my unit defrosts correctly. Thought I would post just in case someone else has the same water backup issues and didn't see an ice build up. Ours went over 4 years before this happened. Great to be able to find someone like you who has already troubleshot and found the repair. Saves people a bunch of time... Many Thanks!!

I ordered my part yesterday and in the mean time,I got really creative, and made a temporary fix from an aluminum soda can.lol.It is the same length as the new one that will be here in a week.No more water and ice.Yippie!!!
That's a great idea for a temporary fix! Thanks so much for watching!
OMG, I am so happy to have found this video! I had previously replaced the defroster element because there was ice spilling out of the little holes on the front of the twin cooling cover - and I thought that would cure the problem, only to have a frozen lake develop continuously under the cool pantry. I ordered the part you identified and just finished replacing that ridiculous little element that Samsung had for keeping the drain free. I sure hope that this works as you said, because my next move is ordering a new refrigerator. But not before telling everyone I know about my experience with Samsung. Beautiful refrigerator brought to its knees by a 10 cent part!
GE is built on the Samsung model and has the same issues. I just wrapped a small piece of copper tube over the defroster and it hangs down in the drain tube.

Thank you so much for this video. Service repairman initially said we needed a new control panel. Then he informed us the part was not available. Our refrigerator is only five years old so I figured we were out $$$. This helped us solve the problem ourselves (so far anyways) and my husband and I didn’t even have to get a divorce after fixing it.
Jeff thank you soooo much! I have been dealing with this situation for over a year now. I saw your video 3 days ago, ordered the part same day from Amazon. Part came in yesterday, I installed it and my refrigerator is working well again. As I write I have a bucket full of ice, in less than 24hrs.

Hi Jeff, I followed the instructions in your video and was able to rescue a Samsung refrigerator from freezing to death. I used a small steamer to speed up the thaw process and was able to add the part and everything is working good as new now. Thank you for the super helpful video!

Thank you so much! I had this problem before not long ago and I watched a video how to defrost but it just happened again. So I was look for that video and I found yours, much better then just show how to defrost, but shows how to fix it. I ordered the part, will get tomorrow and hopefully will fix this thing for good. I really appreciate your help. Who has the time to defrost a refrigerator every 6 months? Not me and thanks to you I won't have to anymore.

This was excellent! Your clear, step-by-step instructions helped me fix the problem in my own fridge! Thank you SO much!!! Who knew a $5 part would do the trick? I felt so proud of myself for fixing it! (Also shout out to TR Bowlin. Before his video and Jeff’s, I felt prepared to tackle the project.)
For people wondering, I defrosted for 18 hrs but also ended up putting a hair dryer on it for 10ish minutes because there was still a lot of built up ice.
Defrosting is the most annoying part of this fix. I did this when our fridge was mostly empty. We have a mini fridge so I put all our must stay cold item there (e.g., mayo, dairy items, etc.) and left other things that would be ok for a day or so on the counter. I was worried about the frozen stuff but my freezer stayed nice and cold with a couple of ice packs. I know this for certain because I had a container of ice cubes that were still perfectly frozen when I checked after everything was fixed.

Thank Jeff, I ordered the part, watched your video again when the part arrived and installed the new part. Only issue with install is my drain line was not quite as deep as the part.
So I cut off about 1/4 inch of the length with wire cutters and it fit perfectly into the hole and over the coil. Plugged the fridge back in and it is cooling now and soon to be ready to put food back in it. My neighbor came over as I was putting the panel back on and was amazed. By the way I just turned 77 years old. So happy to not have to buy a new fridge on my budget. Thanks Jeff for your video! You are amazing!

Thanks so much for making this video. Mine iced up over 5 years ago and again 3 months ago. Both times called a technician. Now happened a 3rd time. This time I checked the drain tubes myself, they were clear and dry. Put all food in a cooler on ice and chest freezer. Couldn't get the panel off due to ice. Melted it with a hair drier in top vents taking care to not overheat things. Discovered I have the new aluminum part (from one of the techs), but water was not draining. Used a baster to siphon cold water out of drain and siphon hot water in/out The drain cleared. A snake camera showed the drain was still half blocked with ice about 6 inches down. Cleared with more hot water. Wrapped some copper wire on the heating element and set the wire about 7 inches in (fix suggested by other folks on Internet). Left the aluminum part as is. Now crossing fingers and wanting my half day back. Will be looking at other brands for all new appliances.

Received the replacement part from Amazon in 3 days and replace and fixed in 10 min or less. Super easy
Cannot find the link to the Amazon part mentioned in the video. Can you share it please?
Thank you SO much for this Jeff - we have had such a problem with this and in fact REPLACED our first fridge with the same model as we liked the design thinking the last one was broken....only to find the same thing started happening pretty quick. It is criminal that Samsung haven't admitted the design fault or at least made it easier for people to fix / told dealers to warn customers that it can be fixed easily. Congrats to you for a simple and helpful video!
concise, easy-to-follow instructions! Repair went perfectly! Thanks Jeff
It's great to see Graham McTavish teaching to defrost fridges.
Thank you so much. I have been dealing with this for a while now . I was scared to look into, I didn't want to have to replace my fridge is fairly new, so glad that I found your video. Thanks for taking the time to make and post.

Wow. I've been "fixing" this every 3-6 months by opening it all up, defrosting, and putting it back together. This is the first (hopefully) permanent fix I've found. Just ordered the new evaporator clips, and beyond excited to install them. Thank you so much. You likely just saved me from buying a new fridge.
it worked for about a year and a half and now it's building up again smh
Same here. I've had Samsung out 3 times now free of charge but it's crazy they've made no attempt to actually FIX the problem they just put a new back panel on and defrost. It will be interesting to see if this stops the top part icing up and blocking the fan as well.
@@GodronATX When I do it I'm going to use some thermal paste, hopefully that helps the heat transfer.
@@GodronATX there’s an other useful comment I’ll see if I can’t tag you or wtv ! He talks about opening the back pannel and checking the drain pipes to see if any are not iced or clogged up with guck still!
@@GodronATX this is because this ‘solution’ addresses the symptom, not the problem. The problem is the clogged drain hose that is accessed from the back of the refrigerator. There are two of them. On the right is the tube draining the refrigerator and the one on the right drains the freezer. At the top of those tubes is a hard white plastic connector that has a baffle inside it with two very small drain holes. Those holes get plugged up allowing water to back up into the refrigerator where it freezes. That part he replaced might help the drain from freezing but it doesn’t make much difference if that bottom drain hose is plugged. Water will still over-flow into the bottom of the refrigerator and freeze because that is the top of the freezer. When I grabbed those white plug connectors, the constricted area broke off which gave me the larger opening I wanted. Now, it can’t get clogged and back up into the refrigerator where it was freezing previously. I didn’t replace that small aluminum piece because I’m counting on water not backing up and standing long enough to freeze. I suspect the two pin holes in that drain was to allow the small amount of water that normally drips into that tube to pass while restricting the amount of outside warmer air from entering the refrigerator. But, those two pin hole sized holes, eventually get plugged with a small amount of rust or calcium. Make those holes larger and problem should be solved.
This is a great fix. Thank you for this! I've had this problem for months now, so your solution is most welcome.

Jeff, what a pain this manufacturing defect has caused. I have cussed Samsung for years. My model is slightly different than yours, but mine has exactly the same problem. I just had to pry out about a 5/8" sheet of ice underneath the "Cool Select Pantry." Additionally, I usually have to sop up water out of the Cool Select Pantry drawer every week.

Thank you so much for this video. We basically have the same Samsung model and it kept freezing every month along with that fan noise cuz of the ice, then the inside temp would go up, in turn not cooling properly.
I didn't want to comment until I knew for sure it worked. Ordered the part from Amazon and hubby installed it. It was pretty easy. It's been over a month and we've had no issues ever since.👌 Thank you again so much for this super simple fix! God bless!🙏

Same here! I've called Home Depot, Home Depot Appliance parts, and Samsung several times, & no one has ever mentioned this faulty part! I've spent over $500 changing the door seals and the fan, none of which fixed the issue. Ordered this part and praying this will work. Thank you!

this is brilliant, thank you ! Ive had issues for the past couple of years, 2 repairmen said they DONT work on Samsungs.. Im going to get this little part and fix it. You're a genius !
Yes!! Nobody wants to touch them with a ten foot pole. I had two excellent repairmen out on two different occasions, and although they banged out the ice and got it "working," neither one even charged me b/c they knew it wasn't really "fixed." Pretty decent of them. I then had a Samsung certified guy come out, and it was so clear even HE didn't want to fix it. He talked me out of it by saying how much it would cost, there was no guarantee it wouldn't happen again, etc.... cost me $100 just for him to grace me with his presence. His advice? Don't buy Samsung fridges, and oh yeah: always pay more for the extended warranty when you buy a fridge since you'll probably need it. Good grief.

Watched your video after calling several repairmen. You are wonderful! Clear easy to understand video helped us repair our 5 yr old frig easily. Thanks so much for your video,
Thank You, Thank You! This is very helpful.
My 7 year old fridge has been doing this regularly since year 3, destroyed my flooring before I was able to catch it.
Another tip is to add extra foil insulation tape to the side and bottom of the back piece that is removed. After several removals to defrost, the original insulation gets pretty beat up.
This $2000 fridge is a piece of garbage, will never purchase a Samsung Fridge again, nor will any friend of mine as well.
Yes its very sad that this has happened and is happening to their fridges. They also didn't take responsibility for replacing that part. There should of been a recall. Thanks so much for watching!
You can add me too the list. Samsung fridges are garbage. Never again
Samsung, worse crap I have owned. Installed this part and after 3 weeks frozen up again but up in the cooling fins and all the way to the top by the fan. Also took the back off and checked the drain line it was fine. The part I installed appears to be working just freezing up elsewhere. 3 years of working fine. What causes this?
@@msingerca Did you replace the panel properly? Is all the insulation in place? Did you reattach both wires before replacing the panel? If so, I would check the heating element and fan motor for continuity. If they are fine, I would also check the defrost sensor which is connected to one of the two wires you had to remove to get the panel off. The sensor is mounted to the element and measures it's temperature so the control panel came regulate how long to defrost the unit. The sensor costs about $20. Get the OEM sensor not a cheap knockoff and make sure it's the right one for your model. I found this out by watching a video of a repairman on a call for the freezing problem and he routinely swaps the sensors out. There are videos on how to test and replace all three. I'm not a repairman but I have the same freezing problem and have looked at a lot of videos and parts websites. Good luck.
@@glamygirlie6829 me too..absolute crap. mine has the water build up and randomly heats up to room temperature unless I unplug for 24 hours. not what I want a fridge for.
Thank you so much!
very concise and detailed, I wish all DIY videos were like this one. I just saved good money, thank you!

Great idea! I came here to see if anyone else was having this problem? Mine is thawed but line seems to be clogged? 🤞🏼

A very different video than what I'm used to seeing from you Jeff, good and informative diy video that anyone can do, very nice work .. that wire as you call it, is the defrost heater! It's just a basic heating element used to stop the evaporator or cooling coils in frost free refrigerators from icing up. I think it operates from a timer but been many years since I worked on any refrigerator.
Thanks for watching! Big ups Stormer!

Great video, I believe that maybe the issue on my Samsung frig. Does that drain clip work for all Samsung models? Thanks
Thank you Jeff for the video my Samsung refrigerator had been doing this for over a year luckily I have tile floors in my kitchen so we had no floor damage. I had tried everything and was about ready to just go buy a new one until I searched you tube and found your video I defrosted it today took about 2 hours even with a hair dryer put it all back together. I ordered the part from amazon and will install it when it arrives on July 9th. Thanks again !!
What's the name of that part, thanks so much, I believe once I install that part I'll be good to go, awesome video also.
@@DigitalRealmS1 how is your fridge doing? Just wondering because I was told NOT to use a hair dryer.
when I removed the panel inside my Samsung and melted ice, like you showed in your video, water from ice was just sitting there. Not sure why. I wasn't able to clear that pipe. I didn't turn my fridge off for 24 hours. just maybe 8 hours. Any idea how to clear that pipe? If this was an ice that was blocking water to go down, then my question is, what causes that water to freeze further down in the pipe?! I think, something is blocking water flow and I don't know how to clear it. Any thoughts? Thanks.
Thank you for this informative video!😃 Got the part installed AFTER finding a pool of water under the deli tray & a puddle on kitchen floor(1st time that's ever happened but noises/excessive ice build up started at 5th year of ownership, what kind of craziness?!)!😵😠 Didn't even bother removing the little clip, just moved it aside..the least Samsung should do is recall ALL affected models and either send out this remedy part with DIY instructions or offer in home scheduled replacement... FREE OF CHARGE- I'm just saying!🤨
can I "like" this comment multiple times??? 1000x yes!!!

Thanks for a very well done video of how to repair our Samsung Refregerator. We have been cleaning out the water with a towel for over a year. I was ready to buy a new one before seeing your video. I waited about a month before writing this review. So far, we are dry. So....................THANKS SO VERY MUCH JEFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for this video Jeff!
I have the same fridge with the same problem. I went ahead and made your repair - the video made the process super easy. Unfortunately, within a few short weeks my back panel was frozen over once again. I dredged the internet for solutions. I defrosted the unit once again, I took everything I could apart and checked for continuity. Everything was in good working order. I even pulled out the fridge and cleaned the pipes along with everything else in the back. I also reset the fridge after I was all done. I even read about a trick about moving the defrost temp sensor to the other side of its original tube placement in order to active the defrost cycle a little sooner. Well, all my hard work paid off for six weeks. I was feeling so good about it too… but last night I discovered ice forming yet again in the crisper. The fridge is only six years old - and a new one isn’t possible at the moment. I’ve asked several repair folk to come out and no one will touch it.
Any last minute ideas or suggestions before I start manually defrosting this hunk of junk every two weeks for the next ten years???
Thanks!
Sean
Oh my God it sounds like my problem!! If it was a car they would have recalled it, instead Samsung expects us to just buy another one or go insane trying to fix it. I'm frustrated!
I just posted my own comment but with the new better part I discovered I still had ice about 6 inches down the drain so somehow it was getting below freezing in that lower area. Not sure if it was from freezing downwards from the top of the drain, or starting from below. I had a sheet of ice below the collector pan, suggesting water was collecting under it (and freezing due to not enough heat exposure?). Maybe from the flange on the removable panel?
Did you replace the drain tubes. That's what we needed to do for ours.

This worked perfectly. Easy to follow. My only suggestion for those who cannot wait 24 hours for the ice to thaw. Hair dryer on HOT was necessary. For the actual drain I boiled water and then put a shortened/cut clothes hang with about 6 inches long then a bend of 3 inches or whatever. Pour the boiling water into a cup then the long end of the hanger in the cup to get the hanger hot and place it in the hole. I did this about 10 times and it kept moving further down until the drain was completely open. Refrigerator only off for 2 hours.

We bought a home that had a Samsung ‘frig and we had a plate of ice form under the deli tray, just above the freezer unit. The prior homeowners left both the owners manual and the installation guide. One said to level the unit and the other said to slant it back ever-so-slightly, which is what I did. The 2nd thing I did was to turn off the energy saving function, which presumably would have the condensate removal function work to greater effect. I’m pleased to report that we no longer have ice build up problems!!!!
That is a great tip! I will try that out and look into that. The energy saver function has always been turned off on mine as well! Thanks for that extra tip!

Thanks for the video, Jeff! I'd been having this issue myself for a few years and have just been cleaning up the bottom of the fridge every few weeks. I'd seen another video awhile ago on the ice buildup inside the back panel, but nothing about the heat conduction pin back there or that there's a worthwhile replacement piece out there, so that info is greatly appreciated!
I really hope that helps you out! Thanks so much for watching!

Also after all that make sure you check the back of the refrigerator for the drain tray and hose. Ours was plugged therefore water wasn’t moving to tray like suppose to be. Granted we had to go thru what was explained in the video. So thank you for that.
Thanks so much for watching. Stay tuned for a new updated video on this there's a few more tips I will show.

In addition, make sure to clean and drain water defrost line. It's most likely clogged and causes excess water/humidity buildup inside fridge. Easy access from back of the fridge, after sheet metal cover is removed. There are 2 or 3 drain tubes leading to drain pan; one or more of drain tubes is likely to be completely blocked with dirt and gunk. Good luck!
Also clean off the compressor while you're there. It'l likely fitly and covered with dirt/dust bunnies.
How would I go about cleaning the line ? Compressed air?

Excellent video for my problem, thanks. Do you have video for the icemaker also? This refrigerator is a nightmare. Keep up the great work!
OMG!!!! I have had this issue for 3 years and I am so glad I finally found this Video. Thank you I am ordering the part and doing it myself
I replaced that parts on my Samsung Refrigerator three weeks ago with the help of your
Video it was easy and working out great thank you very much and my wallet thank you also.

Thanks for the video and my wife finally finds this video.
Hey jeff what about when removing the back panel and the styrofoam isnt attached the the plastic panel?
When you remove that it will sometimes come apart that's not too big of a deal just try to place it back in place when you are finished. Also, if you are removing it when it is frozen it make break.
Hey Jeff do you need to bend the pieces up on the new clip?
@@danielburkholder3850 other videos show that you should.
As a repairman myself I would also add cleaning the drain nipple on the drain tube in back of the refrigerator it gets clogged up and slows the water from draining
Spot on! We have the Samsung RF28HFEDTBC French Door unit and has been a great refrigerator so far. I thought I may have had the same issue as the OP, however it turned out to be the drain tube was clogged up at the bottom rear of the refrigerator. I guess my unit defrosts correctly. Thought I would post just in case someone else has the same water backup issues and didn't see an ice build up. Ours went over 4 years before this happened. Many Thanks!!
Is that visible from the back or does something need to be removed?
TJtheDJonWMCN , remove the metal cover on the lower back of fridge. Once removed, you’ll see three rubber drain tubes on the right half of the fridge. Best to pull off and clean all three while you’re back there.
@@eyemright Thanks! Stay well.
@@TJtheDJonWMCN Hi. Did cleaning the drain tubes solve your problem?
Thank you so much. You just saved me 2 grand on a new fridge!
Jeff-- a month ago I noticed I had ice building up underneath the deli tray (which is below the two produce drawers). It seemed to coincide with me putting in a new water filter (that is located between the two produce drawers), so I pulled the water filter out. The frig doesn't need a water filter installed to use the in-door water dispenser so no big deal. But the ice re-occurred. So thanks to UA-cam, and DOUBLE thanks to you I order the metal part and undertook the repair/replacement that you show in this video. I'm VERY optimistic that I've solved the problems, especially because i had ice build up in that little drain where the metal piece hangs. Anyway, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
