I appreciate that you took the time to show the effort required to remove the old clip. Some people edit the video. leaving the viewer with the impression that the clip comes off easily. Thanks for a realistic demonstration.
Great video. I would add one step. Pour water through the drain hole to make sure the drain isn't clogged. Make sure you have a towel ready.
Great video. I followed these steps yesterday, installed the new part you recommended, and the refrigerator is working well today. We've had so many problems with this Samsung. I'll never buy another. But at least we'll get a bit more mileage from this one than we anticipated. Thank you!
Great video! Just want to add that the clip that you have to push in to remove the shelf right above the filter is on the LEFT side.
Thanks for a great video. I have a 2011 3 French Door Refrigerator RFG237. After watching your video, I decided to purchase the upgraded replacement clip - which was not recommended for my specific model - but I purchased it anyway. I unplugged the fridge and left it overnight. I worked one side of the panel off quite easily but the left side was not budging. So, I waited until the following morning and the left side of the panel popped off easily. The ice was built up around the clip and was blocking the drain. I removed the buld of the ice and let the chuck around the clip melt on its own. Despite that, there was some residual ice in the drain that prevented the replacement clip from dropping in - so I used a syringe and squirted some hot water into the drain, and after a few minutes the remaining ice melted and the clip nicely fit in. Thanks again for your excellent instructions.
Thank you thank you so much. This video was so helpful compared to other videos. So appreciate the time you took to show us
Good video! I would add that when on a repair job with ice blockage in a fridge or freezer drain, myself and most homeowners don't stock an extra long heating clip. What I have with me that works universally and is FREE is a piece of 14 gauge electrical wire. I strip off all the sheathing, cut to length so it wraps 2-3X around defront heater element, sticks down in the drain hole far enough but not so far as to touch any drain nipple below and centered. The bare copper wire conducts well to transfer heat for keeping ice from forming in the tube. Lastly, this repair won't solve the problem if the drain nipple is blocked/clogged below as the water will still backup. One has to first determine if the blockage is caused by a clogged nipple or ice blockage. A clogged nipple problem can be easily solved without even opening the fridge or freezer entering the lower back of the unit by pulling it off and examining it.
Having found this video and the answer to water under the Deli Tray, 'm getting ready to make this fix. A piece of copper wire was the first thing that came to mind also. I'm thinking two 'tails' down the drain hole, spiraled several times around the lower coil line.
Also seconding the idea of some warm water down the drain hole.
Thanks dude! I didn't want to wait a few days to get a new clip in the mail, but electrical wire I have in spades. Gonna get right on that.
Just took on this project today. This video was the most helpful I’ve found. Mine took less time to defrost to the point of being able to get the cover off. ≈9 hours. A small pair of snips made quick work of the old heating element. The one part that didn’t defrost in time was the drain tube itself. I used a combination of a small (electronics style) soldering iron and some hot water to knock out the rest. Thanks for this helpful video and fingers crossed that I’m in the clear with the new part from the link!
If you put the tang of the clip down into the drain hole, you can slide the whole thing up and over the coolant line from the back. Then bend the two end clips up. Thanks for this excellent reference guide. Edit: Forgot to add that tin snips work great to remove the old drain spout. Clip it just below the rivet, twist the front tab up and the rivet drips out. In my case it went down to the freezer. Haven't found it yet.
For 11 years I've been taking the drawer out (every 3-4 weeks) to remove all the ice. Eventually I have had to replace the roller assembly on left side from breakage. When the ice cubes stop being formed, I stick my finger under the tray and confirm the ice building up. Or my husband points out to me the water running out between the doors. So, I remove the big tray (have this task on my calendar, LOL!) but all the time saying under my breath "there has to be a reason for the ice buildup." Today I went to get ice cubes and viola it's time!! So, I decided to go to my favorite place for help and came across your video. Thank you I will try this when the part comes in. Kimm
11 years!!!
Great video man, super simple fix. I really appreciate you showing each piece to, instead of cutting out the actual work of something like removing the back cover.
Thank you for posting this video. It was really helpful. I followed the same steps and fixed my fridge!
We've had this issue with our Samsung refrigerator for years. In the past, we've emptied it, let it completely defrost, and then fired it back up, but the problem would recur. I finally got to the point where I had to see what was going on with the drain line. After pulling the back panel off of the refrigerator compartment, my first thought was that part of the drain line heat clip must have broken off and gone down the drain line. After seeing your video, I realized that the heat was what I saw but grossly inadequate for dealing with freezing IN the drain line. Ugh! What a poor design. I just ordered the replacement drain clip from Amazon and plan on finishing up the job tomorrow. Glad to have come across your video!
Thank you soo much for posting this video. I was able to watch and follow along and fix my frozen drain line. I could not have done it without your help.
Water collecting inside the fridge can be because the drain tube is blocked, not by ice at the top, but by being blocked by dirt at the bottom. So before stripping the inside of the fridge it might be more sensible to check the drain tubes inside the lower back panel. Its much quicker and does not require the fridge to be emptied. If its not the problem you can still strip out the fridge and look for the ice issue. I was really glad I checked the back first.
I will take a look. Thanks.
My refrigerator also had drain pipe blocked not the freezing issue, I realized after changing the part , as I still had leak issue.
How do you check the drain tubes?
@@julianawatkins4489 The drain tubes deposit water on to a tray on top of the compressor. The compressor warms this area and the water evaporates. So to check the bottom of the drain tubes you need to access the compressor area. There is normally a panel on the back at the bottom. SO WITH THE POWER OFF, remove screws and panel and examine the tubes that terminate in the tray above the compressor. There are 3 in my fridge. I wiggled them about and got suprisingly wet when the dirt and the trapped water shot out. the dirt was trapped because the tube actually rested on the base of the tray. I cut it a little shorter so it could not happen again. I assume it might be possible to have something larger get ino and block the tube higher up. But that was not the problem in my case.
Are you referring to water pooling in the bottom, wide deli drawer? this is the problem we're currently having and I'm trying to figure out where to start. thanks!
Thank you for your video! You helped me fix my fridge!
Great video! Couldn’t use your affiliate links in Canada but I really appreciated the guidance and supplies!
Thank you for the video. Definitely helped me out Diagnosed the issue. I really appreciate the link for the part!
Good job on the video... I didn't realize the fix was so involved but watching you go through the gears to 'upgrade' the little 'thermal clip' gives me a much better idea of what it will take to fix the problem. Good job on shooting video in the confined space inside the fridge... I'd bet shooting the video was at least as difficult as doing the fix!
Best,
Matt
Love your channel.
@@tamill1 Hey, thanks! I confidently went through the process of replacing/upgrading the thermal clip successfully after watching your video.
FWIW After replacing the clip, condensation water still wouldn't drain out through the drain tube. Turned out that the little rubber orifice thingy that drains into the evaporation tray under the fridge was clogged up with some funky reddish/brownish/blackish gunk which plugged it up so water wouldn't drain. Removed and cleaned that and now it drains perfectly. No regrets for upgrading the clip though because now I'm confident it won't freeze up during humid weather and overflow.
Best, Matt
Thanks for the video. I had a tough time getting the bottom center screw out. it had rusted and was rotating free with plastic nut. Eventually I had to drill it out. In my case the heater had a bend towards bottom, so the replacemet clip had to be shortened in order to fit. After I got the bottom center plastic nut out, I ended up installing a drywall plastic butterfly anchor for the bottom center screw, which worked perfect.
Very good instructional video! 👍🏼
I think a great video. I need to do this operation so it was hopeful. Other videos I have seen pull out the frig and install new drain pipes accessed from the rear. which took a few minutes to do. Sort of a preemptive strike in the case of the drain tubes giving a problem later on. Once again. thank you. I will do an update after I get it up and running after the repair. Thanks
This worked beautifully. Thank you.
Thank you my friend. Very helpful!
Inherited this model with the house. What a nightmare. Between this issue and the ice maker freezing up I’m hoping this does the trick. Left it unplugged for 48 hours. Only issue was finding where to loosen coil. Standard wire cutters directly into rivet on each sides popped small probe right out. Thanks for a well done video.
ua-cam.com/video/wmCv9jmxd_o/v-deo.html
Here is the full solution to the ice maker issue
Thanks for the video, it was really helpful! I followed your instructions only to find that someone had already installed that longer clip on the coil in the back of my inherited fridge! And it was still all icy back there and I have to empty water out of the crisper drawers about every other day. Is there anything else that can be done?
Good video, but a few points:
The aluminum fins are very sharp! Be very careful and make slow, deliberate motions or will leave blood spots.
They sent me the wrong fixer clip, way different. I made a usable substitute from 6 Inches of #12 house wire.
Be careful with the aluminum pipes. They are thin and if you puncture one the whole evaporator and Freon charge needs to be replaced.
Keep watching to see what happens with the class action lawsuit related to these fridges.
Great video. Thank you.
Thank you sooo so so much for this video!!!!!!!
This worked and I had exactly the same issue. Frozen drain line. What a bad design! Thank you so much
Thank you for helping out
Great vid, thank you
Very helpful thank you
I too am one of the many unfortunate people who own a Samsung fridge.
I had a Bosch fridge that was flawless for 12 years.
I have this same problem, the same as you and many, many others and not just this model. This is just a testament to the engineering and quality of Samsung in my opinion as well as their lack of willingness to improve. I always have a lifetime guarantee for products like this (I'll never buy Samsung again in my lifetime). What an expensive lesson, I'm not optimistic I'll find anything better with their competition. In their race to manufacture the cheapest, companies reap the rewards and we and the environment suffer the loss.
Thank you for posting this video, just replaced this clip today so curious to see how long it will last. The amount of ice built up behind the panel was insane, thawed it with a hairdryer.
Next time just go to the circuit breaker and shut the refrigerator off for about four hours. That will melt ice. Turn back on. Don’t worry your food will be fine just don’t keep opening the door. I do it when I’m going out for a few hours. When it builds up again do it over. I’ve been doing that for years.
How is your fridge doing? Did this resolve the problem?!
Thanks for the video. Just did mine this morning. My factory installed clip had absolutely no piece of metal in the drain pipe so very hopeful this will take care of the problem forever now.
Why remove the old clip though? I'd put the new one on top of it. More heat conducting metal. Plus is this going to prevent the ice ball from forming at the top? I kind of doubt it.
thank you!
I have a 2012 Samsung French Door model number RF260BEAESR, Twin Cooling Plus with the same problem. Will this clip fit my refrig?
Thanks!
Does this fix the water forming under the twin cooling plus sign? Always have water droplets on that back panel. Ty
Good video for fixing ice build up in vaparator. If the fan is cozen and get burned you have to replace a whole panel. It costs arm and leg . It happen to me twice. The product is defective. No more Samsung for me .
WAIT! Check the drain tube behind the floor panel at the back of the fridge! Especially if yours is older. Our 10 year old 4 door french Samsung used the old style rubber "duck bill" check valve that hardened in the closed position and was the reason for water under the crisper. Would not let defrost water through. The rubber cracked into multiple pieces when pressed. The current replacement valve/tube is a different design that probably does not have the issue. Replace if yours is the old style. Old valve/tube pull right off and redesign version pushes right back on. About $15.
Is there any water supply tube behind the fridge that is connected to the wall or floor, such that I need to be cautious about not breaking it while pulling the fridge out?
@@katesmith9960 If your fridge has a working icemaker or dispenses water, then yes there is a water supply tube. Usually this is by a flexible hose to a valve at the wall that will extend far enough to move your fridge. And if still concerned use a flashlight and mirror to locate the tube behind the fridge and to monitor as you pull the fridge out.
Or just cut the duck bill off so it's open. That's what our repairman did. Still no water ... fridge compartment freezes everything yet.
THANKS
Thank you. We tried it last month but again same problem we are facing. Did you have same ice and water problem after changing clip?
Just want to come here and say thank you bro! I followed your instructions to a T and it 100% fixed my leak!! TBH it was a bitch getting the 2 long screws out but that's cause I attempted it with a shitty manual screw driver. I definitely recommend a power drill! But yeah thanks man! Definitely subbed! You're the best!! 👊
Thanks. Couldn't figure out what was causing the water under the crispers
I’m looking to purchase this part. We just cleaned out water and ice blocks under the pantry.
Are you still issue-free after 1 year? Thanks so much!
Make sure it's not your water filter that's leaking first! This happened to me today..worth checking before you gut your fridge
Damn...hope that's not the case with mine. Are u talking about the actual filter or the filter housing?
How can you tell if the water filter is the problem? We started experiencing leaks after I replaced the water filter
@@christienordhielm2949when the filter element or filter head is leaking the water will come out right underneath the filter housing and drip into the bottom drawer. The water dripping from the back wall it will come out against the back you can tell by putting some paper towels back there behind the two crisper drawers and see if they get wet first
I Am not seeing the link for the replacement heating probe that you got from Amazon. Do you happen to have a part number? Thanks,
Dennis
amzn.to/31oB5gv
Thaw it with a hair dryer in an hour on MEDIUM heat for no plastic damage. Remove the drain clip andtake a piece of #14 copper wire and replace it in the drain and wrap over the heat tube. No cost easy fix.
That is awsome thank you. Do u have a link for the part? And my ice maker is frozen. Is that just a new ice maker being neede
Link in the description
What if it froze so bad it expanded and torn the white liner. I can seal it for now,but just wondering
use a steam cleaner to quickly defrost with no danger of melting plastic. great for the icemker as well.
+DIY HOME repair has that peice held up done what your suppose to do never again this ice problem?
What else what would make the evaporator ice up. Besides cleaning the coils. Would the Styrofoam crack cause ice buildup?
After turning the Samsung refrigerator off for 24 hours, assuming that would melt any ice buildup, I still have water dripping to the underside of the crisper. Any ideas on what else may be causing this?
Make sure ur water filter dnt have cracks and the rubber seal properly seated too.
Hey man whats the name of that small metal piece that you just bought from amazon? I have the same problem on my fridge . Thanks man
amzn.to/31oB5gv
Thanks man
I am going to try to fix ours can please give me the part info that you got from amazon. I really appreciate your demo and very impressive. Thank you so much
Does this drain clip compatiable to model rf28hmedbsr? If so I will purchase it from amazon. Thanks again
The part is listed in the description. Yes, that is the same Fridge in the video
We did this and it worked for maybe a week. But water started leaking from behind the panel and under the crisper only to freeze back up. So that apparently wasn’t our issue, or wasn’t our ONLY issue.
I am going to coat the aluminum clip with thermal paste from cpu fan's silver toothpaste. the tabs on the end wrapped around the black heater the snugger they are ,around the tube the warmer they will get.
I have a Samsung bottom freezer ref., model # RB195ACWP. I'm in the process of defrost mode, and replacing drain clip to resolve water pooling below crisper drawers in fridge.
I'm also having an issue with the ice maker (located in freezer) not getting supplied water because of frozen water supply line. Will replacing drain clip resolve this issue as well, or is there another way to keep the ice maker supply line from freezing. Thanks for any guidance on this.
Not sure on the line freezing up, haven't had that issue before. Might want to contact Samsung and see if it's a known issue with that model. I don't know if replacing the drain clip will resolve the issue.
@@HomeRepairHub ok. appreciate the video!
I went ahead with defrost, replaced clip, and it thawed the ice maker supply line. Ice maker is working for now! So far so good. Video was very helpful.
I'll contact samsung as you suggested if the ice maker freezes up again. Thanks again!
I did this last weekend and now it's freezing up again. I guess it's time for a new refrigerator. You'd think with so many issues that they'd offer a free service to permanently fix.
My fridge is exactly like yours, and I'm having same issues. I am currently in a process to replace the clip but was wondering whether replacing the clip resolved the issue permanently since you have done long ago? I have seen other vids where they replaced the drain tubes as well... I hope I do not have to do so
I replaced the clip which helped for a few months. Now I have ice forming under the drawers - not just water as before. So I haven’t pulled the panel yet to see what’s going on this time. I hate Samsung.
@@arlenerobbins4469 what did u find to be the problem. I replaced clip too and still have icing under the thin drawer.
@@arlenerobbins4469 We'll never buy Samsung fridge/appliances again. Great for phones not for appliances. Whirlpool going forward based on Consumer Reports warranty claims data.
@@arlenerobbins4469 if you previously had water where you now have ice that sounds like you may have just changed the temp in the fridge
Great video
But please share link for drain clip
I appreciate the feedback
amzn.to/31oB5gv
What a magnificent piece of junk those Samsung fridges are ! Nothing but problems. From the ice auger freezing, to the fan noise due to ice build up and now water under the crisp tray. Thank you for the instructions !
About to do this this evening, if UPS gets here with my new clip! (Update: Replaced the clip and it seemed to fox the problem for about a month, had water underneath the drawers and ice in the bottom of the freezer, water in the floor. Here's my official FUCK YOU TO SAMSUNG!
I changed clip and drains. Still freezing up. Thoughts?
ua-cam.com/video/So1Zf-yIj94/v-deo.html, I haven't done all this yet. If you do please let me know if it resolves the issue fully.
My does too and I changed the drain thing
I did the same and replaced my defrost sensor and temperature sensor at the same time. No more issues for over a year.
When we moved into our house we inherited a Samsung French door icebox. That’s been 2yrs ago and I’ve always had this problem. I just took the tray out every so often and removed the ice.. 6 months ago we changed our sink but my son-in-law didn’t hookup the water line for the ice maker. Now that it’s hooked up again my ice maker isn’t working anymore! It’s back to freezing up again under the crisper but no ice. Would that 6 month setup have anything to do with the ice maker not working? It’s not frozen, I’ve ran it through every cycle there is, still nothing!! Any thoughts or suggestions?
How old is the fridge? You tried defrost correct? There is a button on the ice maker, have you tried holding that down till it beeps? That should reset the ice maker?
ua-cam.com/video/wmCv9jmxd_o/v-deo.html
@@HomeRepairHub after I try getting ice of course there’s no ice but I heard that ice Maker turn like it used to do when I had ice! My wife’s sister bought it on Facebook Marketplace with no paperwork. It froze up constantly on them too!! Then we bought it from her sister 2 years ago!! If I had to guess I’d say that icebox is somewhere around 8/10yrs old! If we had paperwork we’d try the Recall ijs it might work but no paperwork we’re the screwed pooch
I’m having this issue right, it work great for 5 years
I wonder if I could just connect a long piece of small copper wire to the old clip and heat line then down into the drain hole?
Yes you can.
I was thinking the same thing, copper wires are great heat conductors.
What is the name of the piece of metal that you put on the drin to exit water?
There is a link in the description
Does putting it in demo mode shut off the freezer too?
Yes
Mine was leaking probably a quart of water a day. I pulled out the fridge and cleaned the coils. The next day the sponges I had in there were dry.
I have water under my crisper right now, guess I'm going to have to do this also.
Many still have a giant ice ball forming at the top. Look on UA-cam for how to address that. These have many issues
I have the same refrigerator mines is melting the ice is that the same problem?
Never buy a Samsung refrigerator. They are the worst. They should stick to computer parts
agreed. I have had nothing but trouble.
Mine is branded GE but it’s really made by Samsung
That's so true.
Samsung sucks
Garbage/samsung refrigerator
So drain line…where does it drain to? I have a supply line for the ice maker, but not seeing anywhere that it drains to pvc drain line in my house. Does it drain somewhere to evaporate?
drain line is in back. Basically the water runs down to the bottom of the fridge and evaporates. But it will depend a little on the type of fridge.
I did this repair time ago but still having water under pantry drawer. I opened everything again and I checked everything including drain hole, valves, etc and my fridge still has the problem. I looks like water is getting down for the wall of panel cover. It is the only reason I see because everything else looks o.k.
Dang... I'm going to bust out the tin snips and a soda can fix this now.
What if the fan isn’t working is that something we should check
That definitely could be part of the problem
Anyone has styrofoam behind the panel? I could not get the panel out after defrosting for 17 hours. I did not see water dripping out during the waiting time. Is the styrofoam glued to the panel or anything else?
I need order that part What's part number from Amazon please thank you
amzn.to/31oB5gv
Help, I replaced the drain clip and it still didn’t fix the problem. What do I do next?
Try this ua-cam.com/video/i8NYTZD8zFU/v-deo.html I didn't have to do this, but I have heard it works pretty well.
Sorry does not work. Bought and install it. Ice builds up above fan about 5 month later like clock work. I’m trying different channel fix and I will report back if it works.
You need a warmer line on that cooling line. Look on UA-cam
That issue is caused from insufficient sealing around the fan motor and the evaporator cover plate allowing air to leak into the evaporator unit..
Thank you so much
He never put up a link that I saw anyway on ordering the clip!
It's in the description
I did install this clip but still freezing up... drain tube is free of dirt dont know what to do !!
Try this ua-cam.com/video/i8NYTZD8zFU/v-deo.html
I did the mod over a year ago and I think the problem is worse than before.
Try this mod. It's a bit more involved. ua-cam.com/video/So1Zf-yIj94/v-deo.html
How do you know it is fixed?
I stopped seeing the water buildup under the shelves.

Check the back 1st, OUTSIDE. Open the bottom plate.
Rubber hoses drain down into the dish.
Middle robber hose had a mineral bildup; this has coused the leak from the INSIDE.
Samsung Refrigeration is where the idiots who somehow graduate from engineering school and but couldn't get hired by GM....
Mine is branded GE but made by Samsung
Funny thing. The fridge was at room temperature and in the door were some milk based products including 'Hollandaise sauce...' what the hell.
So I initially was going to try and use a heat gun to melt the ice which is when you see stuff in the fridge, but I do explain that I opt to wait the 24 hrs and let the fridge thaw, and at that point I moved the stuff to a different fridge.
How to turn freezer on and off
Most models don't have the ability to completely shut off the freezer. You have to unplug the fridge.
This is a great video, thanks for posting it! I have a GE French door refrigerator that I defrosted over several years, trying different types of clips to keep the drain line defrosted. My belief is that the insulation on the back of the freezer becomes waterlogged over time, becoming less efficient, and the problem starts below where the clip is effective. Absolutely do this, you have to defrost the ice inside the unit. What I finally did, before I threw the whole refridgerator away, was to cut open the back of the unit to expose the bottom of the drain pan and I re-routed the drain line to the OUTSIDE so it stays warm. For several years now, my fridge is working great. Watch this video and support Home Repair Hub but if you have to keep doing it, you may want to try my solution as a last resort - ua-cam.com/video/HwaP92Smvro/v-deo.html
I did this , and it didn't solve the problem.
You're still going to get ice buildup.
The main issue is the drain tubes in the back.
They get clogged. Samsung redesigned them.
That's the best fix
