Thanks!
I really appreciate the Super Thanks, Bernardo! It really helps me keep my channel going!
Excellent video it helped me to the t to take mine out and put it back together was a breeze thank you so much
@@MrGizmo211epll1l lol@aappp
Thanks for the help! We would never have figured that out!
We really appreciate your video!
Thank you very much 🙏
Samsung should give you a medal for this. Just a ridiculous process that I'm never getting dirty AGAIN
😅good luck trying😅
Thanks! I don't know who created this is the Samsung - but they should look for another job. We appreciate this video.
Utterly ridiculous design. Those clips are next to impossible to push in. Even with two people, it’s a frustrating and lengthy job.
They should be in jail
😩😩😢.... stipid Samsung this is tooooooo muxh he's teaching me very well
Yes! I did it once and broke one of the clips 😖
@@madelyn3073 stupid right
for over 10 yrs since the frigerator was new it has never had the glass cleaned until today! sir you will never know how much i appreciate this video, my refrigerator looks brand new
I’ve been trying for over 2 years. So grateful for this video!
People like you are the backbone of society. everytime I'm helping a customer with something that's been horribly over-engineered like everything nowadays, I come to youtube for help from fine gentlemen like you
I AGREE! Usually I'm pretty good at this kind of stuff but THIS saved me from getting a hammer to beat up my fridge today! jk
Thank you so much for this! We had been looking at a nasty dirty shelf for years, and although we have a slightly different model, the instructions worked perfectly! When reassembling we decided to just not replace the glass clips so we can just lift out the glass without completely disassembling the whole unit, but we did save the clips in a labeled zip lock bag just in case.
Thank you for the help. Had I known this would be so difficult to clean I would have never purchased this type of refrigerator.
I wanted to share what I just learned from a Samsung repair tech. The removal of the glass is actually much easier than following the steps in this video as the removal of the entire unit is not necessary. While the Samsung repair tech was repairing the ice maker I asked him about the glass shelf. He told me that the two plastic clips in the back of the glass shelf are only there to hold the glass in place during shipping/delivery and can be removed as that's their only purpose. He removed them for me by just popping them off. Then I removed the produce bins and gently pressed up on the glass from the underneath in the back and was able to remove the glass easily by sliding it out of the clip that’s in the front. I cleaned it and the area around it and replaced it with ease. Super easy. I would suggest waiting until the glass has reached room temperature before washing it. I did not replace the plastic clips. Good luck.
Same here. What school of engineering did this designer go to????
@@yiayiagreek5790 That is good to know because one of my clips already broke while trying to get it off as instructed in this video. I also couldn't sqeeze the two clips on the underside to get it to pop out from the water filter mechanism.....so those broke as well. Lol. Got the glass and crevice underneath it cleaned so it's all good! I do appreciate this video, though. Been driving me nuts trying to figure out how to get this darn shelf off to clean it.
Amen !! What a hassle and I still can’t get it out. It’s created a major argument with the wife
Me too
Thank you for this video. We followed your instructions and we were able to clean under the glass. The refrigerator looks brand new again. Thank God for people like you who are willing to share their knowledge with others.
Ditto!
Thank you very much for your help!
Amen!
Me too! Thanks!
Thanks so much for your video
FYI: Hey Mr. Gizmo and subscribers. Thought you might be interested in what I just learned about this glass shelf. I wanted to share what I just learned from a Samsung repair tech.

Thank you! I could not remove the shelf the way the video tells you to, so I took your advice and we just removed the clips. It was easy to take the glass out that way and looks fine. So glad you posted!
I'm so glad I saw your comment. I just popped the clips with a screwdriver and the glass was removed, cleaned, and put back in in 5 minutes. Lifesaver!
I love UA-cam and the people who share tips and tricks to make my life easier. The shelf in my fridge was gross. Now it's nice and clean. I popped off those troublesome clips at the back. I am going to put a piece of Press and Seal on this shelf. That should help keep crud from around the edge of the glass shelf.
I’m going to try that bc mine is impossible , I’ve tried everything At this point idc if I break it lol
This was a godsend because hunny I was fixin to get ready to curse Samsung out!!!!
Thanks for the great video! What a terrible design Samsung did on that shelf! Some raw meat dripped on mine and leaked all over under the glass.
Worst refrigerator I ever owned!!!! Ice machine is constantly freezing up too
Same!
Yep, same!
I have the same issue. I was getting desperate to get under there and get it cleaned.. looked horrible. Do happy I found this video.
@@Tammy-ug8gj check to make sure your doors are still aligned. Once we figured that out, our ice maker has been working great. It was only about a month or 2 ago that we figured it out.
Dude, you're a lifesaver! Or a refrigerator shelf saver, because my wife and her sister were 2 seconds away from breaking the shelf to get it out. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I broke mine 😢
You are a LIFESAVER! I was so frustrated to think the bottom shelf couldn’t be removed & I wasn’t able to clean whatever had spilled just beneath the glass. Thank you so very much!!!!
Very Welcome
You’re a life saver! 14 year old put a 2 liter bottle of Coke in the fridge, on its side, without tightening the cap. My wife and I struggled with this shelf for a good 5 minutes before we gave up and came here. Thanks!
Happy to help
Exactly why I'm here
Wow! I am so grateful for your great video. I couldn’t have removed that shelf without your help. Who ever designed this refrigerator obviously needed to make it easier for that bottom shelf to be removed to be cleaned. Thank you and you have been a blessing to lots of us for your expertise and knowledge.😂❤
Just finished watching this video. You are a life saver! I’ve had mine for five years and never figured out how to remove that glass. I’m cleaning mine ASAP! Thank you so much.
Thank you for the video. Those clamps were a major challenge. What a life saver, GOD bless you!
THANK YOU!! I spilt coffee (with milk, go figure) and it went into the cracks of the glass and the white part! I spent at least 45 minutes - NO JOKE- trying to sweeze a sponge in there. You are a life savor! Love how sweet and short this video is too
Really excellent! Couldn't have done it without this. Thank you for the warnings about easily breaking the tiny clips holding everything in place. Your clear explanations and up-close steady camera shots showing exactly which parts to move and how to move them kept me from breaking my shelf! Many, many thanks!
Those stupid clips are only there to hold the glass in place for shipping. Learned that from a Samsung tech. Asked why they don’t tell you that before.
Your video was a game changer for my wife and I. The Samsung manual was totally worthless! The hardest part was getting those front clips out, but with patience we were able to accomplish it. Seems like it should be easier to clean a shelf. Something has spilled in ours and was really ugly. Thanks again for a great video.
You are welcome!
Thank you a thousand times over for doing this video! I tried to find the how-to in the user manual, and immediately abandoned that plan. Your video is very well done, concise and straight to the point.
You are very welcome
This is awesome. I had a cleaning yesterday and I was unable to remove the bottom shelf because there was no Internet in the woman’s house so I was not able to bring up this video. This is awesome thank you so much. I will clean that shelf on my next cleaning .
Thank you sooo much! I’ve been trying to figure this out forever ! This is the only video that helped and did it the correct way!
You are welcome!
Can I just thank you for this video!!!!!!!!! Ive been wanting to deep clean my fridge for over a year and always found it impossible to remove this part!!! Something told me to go on UA-cam today and bam I found this GEM!!! You sir made my year with this.
Hi Katty! So happy to be able to help make your year! :). I hate a dirty refrigerator!!!
I second that! It's been driving me NUTS! Thank you!
Thank you for this video. It likely saved both my marriage as well as my fridge :-)
I know the feeling ;)
lol yeah no shit
Save your marriage get rid of this fridge
@@MrGizmo211 thanks so much for the Samsung removal video!!! Amazing and now my fridge looks great!
OMGGGG!!!! You have just saved me from breaking my new fridge!!! So glad your video came up when searching how to clean my Samsung fridge!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! 🙌🙌🙌
Very Welcome!!
Thanks very much - we had a bad spill and needed to clean the bottom glass shelf. The owners manual gave absolutely no instructions on how to do this - your video was extremely helpful.
Thank you so much for making this! I am 63 and have rheumatoid arthritis. Pushing those clips in by hand was completely impossible...especially if you aren't 100% sure you are doing it right. Watching it done is a huge help. I was able to remove the shelf and get the glass out and cleaned...then put it back in without breaking it!
No problem Vicki.
Agreed. I used two screwdrivers and then a third to pry the shelf off the base. Great video, especially the clip warning.
Thank you so much! My husband was saying how it’s soooo hard to do and this video made it so simple. Took me 10 mins to take it out, clean it, hand dry, and put it back total! 💪
You must be a wiz! I just didn’t have the strength to do it without my husband!! Good for you!!!
I’m a guy and even I needed two screwdrivers lol man those clips were hard to push in haha
It worked. Your video is the most thorough, thanks!
Oh boy. Did I appreciate this video. Our glass and underneath was so dirty and I couldn’t figure out how to get that glass out!! However, Samsung didn’t make it easy….12 curse words and a broken tab later, I got it out and cleaned. So grateful to have found this video! Thanks for making it!
Thank you so much for this video! The world is better when people help other people for no reason except to just help.
Thanks! Saved me probably breaking those clips in the back!!
Just went through the whole process with my fridge following this video and I just want to say thank you!!! You’ve made the process so easy and do able. They only difficult part of it was trying to push in the clips because I was alone and all I had was 1 screwdriver so I had to get crafty. Thank you!!!!!!
OMG!!! I have been trying to figure this out for a long time. Thank you so much for doing this! I knew there had to be a way to do this and you are correct their instruction manual is as clear as mud on how to remove this shelf. Thank you again for putting this video together. Now I can completely clean my refrigerator 😊
My husband and I just did this process and defrosted the icemaker AGAIN, I'll just say, we are both still alive! Thank you for your clear and precise direction.
Thank you so much! I did it all by myself thanks to your clear directions. No help was needed. My fridge was driving me crazy seeing the grimy food particles in between the glass! Your video was much appreciated. 🥰
THANK YOU for this video. Dear God in heaven, I have never EVER had this much trouble cleaning any refrigerator as I have this one. I have crossed Samsung off my appliance list as well. No clips were broken and I was able to clean everything out but why did Samsung make it this hard and why not put this in the owners manual?
Right? This video is a life saver
Great instructions, good job warning of pitfalls. I was able to take the shelf out, clean it, and replace it without incident - Txs!
Thanks ... that was a great "How To"! I can't wait to finally get that shelf clean!
Much appreciated, I’ve been trying to figure this out for the last couple years 😅… there’s nothing in the manual that gives instruction how to remove, so thanks again!
I just went through the pages of the manual and found nothing. You are a God sent.
I had the same issue as yours.
I cleaned it the best I could and then found this video.
Thank you so much for taking the time to show us the process.
Samsung needs to pay you for this!
Great video. Unfortunately, no matter how much pressure I put on the front clips, the shelf wouldn't come loose. Eventually, the right clip broke off. On the positive side, after I got the shelf out, got the glass out and cleaned it really well, I left the back two clips off so I can now remove the glass whenever I want/need to clean again. On the negative side: This is definitely a design flaw - one that (I found out) Samsung takes no responsibility for. We called the Samsung Customer Service and received everything except customer service. They sent manual pages (those pages missing from the manual I got with the fridge) that shows Mr Gizno's removal process. But when I told them that this process doesn't work and that I was afraid to put more pressure for fear of breaking off a tab, the CS rep said I need to try again. When I told him that the extra pressure had broken a tab, he said he was sorry and told me to hire a handyman. No amount of talking would move them. This is definitely the last Samsung appliance I ever buy.
Those clips are terrible and probably will break 80% or more of the time.
That was a great suggestion, Lee! I did the same thing by leaving the clips off when I put it back in. What kind of idiot designs something with a glass top that can only be removed from underneath by taking the whole thing apart? And don't get me started on those stupid tabs. So thanks, guys! Took me all morning and I should have come here first. 😁
I used needle nose pliers to squeeze in the tabs of the retaining clips. Came right off
Yip. Break off the clips and just remove the glass.
@@sooksookie1 that's what I'm planning on doing. Did you just snap them off?
The fact that they made this thing so hard to remove is insane. Why can’t it just slide in 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
Agreed!!
@@MrGizmo211 All went well freeing up the shelf; but I could not shimmy it out of the fridge. It would be nice if the french doors opened wider. I wound up putting it back dirty.
@@mrmandingy1 I KNOW!! It is such a tight fit. Terrible design
I wanted to share what I just learned from a Samsung repair tech.

Once I get to clean it, I'm gonna try to put a clear plastic on the top of the glass.
Great video - thanks to all of the guys that take their time to make videos for us to show how to do things we would otherwise have to pay someone to do for us! It would be so easy to just lift the glass out of the groove as my not so technical refrigerator was before we bought this crazy technology that we have done without for over 60 years! 🤪🤪
I greatly appreciate your clear step by step instructions on how to remove and clean the bottom glass. Blessings!
Thank you for doing what the owner's manual didn't! Massively helpful!
Thank you for the video. Not happy with hubby spilling a growler of dark beer on that shelf. Thanks for a solution. I haven't been a happy camper when I open the fridge & look at brown crap trapped! Yuck!! Hope we can fix this issue! Haha!
And for 2 years I assumed that this glass couldn't be cleaned
Thanks for the video - without this video, I would never been able to remove those clips without destroying them.
Amazing….couldn’t do it without your videos.. usually I do things myself… but I’m a petite woman who needed man strength to take this apart to be able to clean this!
I like everything clean but they did not make this easy…. Thank you a million times !!!!!
Thank you for posting this video, I have a Samsung fridge with this problem, now I know how to get it cleaned. I really appreciate this video❤❤❤
Hello! Could you make a video on how to clean the fruit and vegetable drawers? We can’t get into a crevice on the bottom towards the front, it looks like the drawers come apart but we’re afraid of breaking them!
I agree! I have no idea how anything even got in there, but both drawers have managed to collect debris.
The drawer design is also terrible for cleaning. Why? I also would not have bought this fridge if I knew about how hard it would be to clean.
Same!!! In middle of this hell now and need to remove front panel on the drawers for spillage that got in there…soooo frustrating
I can now Enjoy opening my once disgusting refrigerator
Hallelujah! We've been trying to figure this out for 4 years! Thanks so much!
Thank you!! I’ve been trying to clean that bottom glass forever! Don’t know why I didn’t look up a video before! Much appreciated!
Great job man. Thank you for being clear & not mixing a bunch of BS into your video.
You're a life saver, brother! I was eyeing those tabs in the back 😂😂😂
Glad I could help!
THANK YOU! All this time I thought my fridge was poorly designed and I was stuck with the crud that had pooled and dried under the glass. Thanks to you, my fridge is now sparkling clean again!
Amazing. The Samsung Manual doesn't even have directions for this. I absolutely could not figure it out. Called Samsung and they sent me the link to YOUR video. Incredible.
I need to charge them :)!!!
Thank you SO much for making this video!!!! I'm SO grateful! I found this video last year when I needed to clean my 11 month-old Samsung Refrigerator, and was at my wits' end after checking out the owner's manual, which - as you mention in the video doesn't even mention how to take this bottom shelf out. I tried to remember how to do it again this year (after a houseguest spilled lobster juice all over the bottom shelf😠), couldn't remember, then remembered I'd saved this video. Just watched it again and it all came back.
I owe you a huge debt of gratitude. I had a fridge at our previous home that required replacing when little plastic clips similar to the ones you show us how to avoid breaking in this video after I tried to strongarm the glass away from the plastic frame.
Bless you for taking the time to make and post this video. You're a hero!
Ty ;)
I have been trying to clean this glass for over a year😢. This was the best tutorial i’ve came across. Thank you!!
Wow. That was a workout. My husband had no patience. But, I did. Thank You so much.❤
We appreciate you so much!! Samsung had a poor designer or a dirty designer that didn’t care about us cleaning our fridges
Ty ;)
Thank you so muchhhh! We just cleaned our fridge it was very hard, we couldn't even removed it with the screw drivers, so my husband removed the small wheels instead and it lifted up, the removal of the glass clips was more easy, very nice video, well explained on how to do!❤❤
OMG - TY TY TY nowhere in the owner’s manual does it explain how to address this. You are a life saver. I replaced the shelf WITHOUT the clips so future cleaning will be easy.
Thank you. Had to come back to this AGAIN because I can't remember how to do this in between cleanings. I appreciate the extra reminders NOT to just break the tabs😬
THANK YOU!! I would never have figured this out on my own, and I couldn’t find anything in the manual about how to accomplish it. You made it so easy to understand!
Ive been trying to clean underneath the glass for 2 years!! Your video was 1st in recommended and was easy to follow and worked perfectly! Thank you!
Thank you so much for this video. I would have broken the whole thing had I not watch this video. This was very helpful. Now I am a happy camper because my refrigerator is now clean and smelling fresh ☺️
THANK YOU for this - it is NOT covered in the manual at all and we just bought a home that has this fridge in the kitchen we had to idea how to get it out. Now it's all clean and I am happy new home owner!🥰
Thank you for this video! I contacted customer service and was sent a link to instructions with no video instructions . You are alive saver!
I should get Samsung to pay me!!
Thank you so much for this!! Got it done😂
Never would have figured it out without your video!!!
Thank you so much, I have been trying to take this refrigerator apart for 4 years:)
This was a real help. I kept looking at the shelf figuring that has to be be a simple way - I have to be missing something - but after looking at Samsung web site I realized this was a real poorly designed item to remove a simple shelf which you have to beleive will be removed several time for cleaning. After watching this video, I was able to manage the project. Once removed the clips - I did not put back in, so the glass can easily now be removed for cleaning.. The squeezing of the clips to remove from the water filter housing device was absolutlety ridiculous as far as how much pressure you have to apply - but once you know that it will work - keep trying and it will come up. Would have been nice if you could apply pliers to that area - but does not seem to be fit for pliers to be used. Thanks again - appreciate the video. p.s I had tried to just push up the corner plugs from the bottom - but you could not get the right pressure to allow and was afraid I was going to break something s- reverted to removing the whole shelf as the video shows.
OMG! I had a nearly full jar of sun dried tomatoes in oil tip over and spill all over my Samsung. I had orange oil everywhere; in both crisper drawers, in cracks and crevices I didn't know needed to be cleaned! It was such a mess! I found Mr. Gizmo's tutorial and even though the model of fridge was not the same (mine is a 3-door French) the instructions worked like a charm. Thanks for saving me Mr. Gizmo!!
All I can say is thank God you guys on youtube for these diys
I read the manual, no instructions on this shelf. If not for Mr. Gizmo I might have broken the glass or at least the clips. So thorough and easy to follow. Thank you
You did a great job explaining what the manual didn’t!!! Thank you…especially with this tabs (almost used a flathead screwdriver to pop them out, that probably would have broken them off) so I stopped and looked at your excellent video!!!👏
All these years later this is a savior I Dedass just cleaned my fridge w this help idk why they had to make it they way they did but shout out for the clear detailed instructions 😭
Thank you, thank you, thank you! My husband put some raw fish that leaked and got under the glass, this was so incredibly helpful. I was mortified my refrigerator was going to smell like fish forever! Your instructions were easy to follow, again Thank you soooo much.
I couldn't find any Samsung video to explain this process. Thanks a million. Going to clean it tomorrow!!
I also loved that your video was short and to the point.
Thank you!! I’ve had this fridge for 6 years and couldn’t get it clean until I found your video!
Thank you so much for this video! Saved me a ton of frustration trying to get that shelf out!
Thank you very much. It was driving me crazy not to be able to clean it, but finally today I did it thanks to your help. God bless you.
Thank you so much!! I would have never got my shelf out without this video!!
You are a genius, Mr Gizmo! Followed your steps and now the glass shelf is clean!
THANK YOU!!!!!! I had meat on that bottom shelf, and under the glass was coated in blood. I couldn't get it out, but I showed my hubby this video and he created a "shelf removal tool." He basically taped two small pieces of plastic (think lego type small) on a large vise grips. Then he used THOSE to push the tabs in! It was awesome. Thank you SO much!!!
Thanks dude, I actually tried to pry those clips up. Good thing I found your video before I snapped them
I have been trying to get that shelf out for 4 years! Thank you so much! Your refrigerator looks spotless. Mine was absolutely disgusting…..looked like a war happened in there. So many little grooves and spaces it’s nearly impossible to clean thoroughly. We need designers who create easy to clean products.
I completely understand just finding this video after 6 years lol
Thank you. You just saved our Thanksgiving.
Thank you sir for this valuable information. My neighbor asked me to see if I could get the glass out of her refrigerator so she could clean out the nastiness that was between the glass and the frame. Found your video and fixed her up!
Thank you so much!!! I have tried several times to remove that shelf without success. Your very plain instructions are a life saver.
Thank you for your video! It literally took us 10 mins to take it apart, clean and put back together!
You are very welcome!!!
Thank you for this video!!! I thought it wasn't possible to clean the glass in this fridge... now I know what I'll be doing tonight! Super easy instructional video.
Thank you! My 94 year old mother is thrilled.
Thanks!!! ❤ my fridge looks brand new now!! ❤
You are a Genius; Samsung should pay you for releasing less stress on clean freaks like me. Thank you for helping me mentally appreciated
You saved me!! Thank you for this tutorial! I scoured the damn Samsung manual, and it tells me nothing about this! You are so appreciated!! 😄👏👏👏👏
Thanks for taking the time to make this detailed video.
I actually saved it quite awhile back knowing I may need it someday. Well, someday is here 😂 had some mushrooms magically turn into ectoplasm.
You never know when it's 230 in the morning and your mind wishes you knew how to clean seemingly impossible sections of your fridge... and you go to UA-cam and right there in front of you is someone who took the time to make a clear video explaining exactly how to do it! So now it's 316am... and I have gotten yhe hamburger blood that dripped and dried in my fridge 2 weeks ago cleaned out and my fridge looks good as new! I so appreciate people taking the time to teach us things!
Happy to help ;)
