I had a Samsung refrigerator in my shop that was making a noise from the fan which is a common problem, so I went ahead and tore it apart to diagnose it, and show you why it can be elusive if the panel gets frozen. I cover a few things in the video including:
- Fixing a Samsung Refrigerator Noise
- How to Force Defrost a Samsung Refrigerator
- How to Fix a Samsung Refrigerator Evaporator Fan
- How to replace Samsung Refrigerator Drain Tube
Many of the solutions to this issue, typically aren't the fan - most possible issues are with the system behind the panel being frozen. There are a few possible items that could fix this, or solve the moisture issues, I referenced in the video. Some of these are:
- Samsung Secondary Heat Kit: bit.ly/2V55X4X
- Samsung Defrost Sensor: bit.ly/3HDsvwB
- Samsung Refrigerator Moisture & Leak Kit: bit.ly/3nPK5WV
- Drain Tube Kit: bit.ly/3HHpJ9x
- Other Parts (Evaporator Fan, Thermal Fuse, ect): bit.ly/3x3AHAF

Thanks for a very informative helpful video. Our Samsung french door fridge is about 7 yrs old. I first noticed a rust spot about 2 inches in diameter on the upper middle part of the rear when I moved the fridge out to shut off the water supply to replace the filter. Didn't think much about it. No visible water on the floor or any indication of it not running as it should. Not too long after that I heard the fan noise. Took it apart and sure enough, ice formation on the coils behind the panel. I melted the ice, put it back together and that cured the fan noise............for 4 weeks. Had to do it again. I need a more permanent fix (additional heater?). Samsung appliances SUCK! I had one of their exploding washing machines, a 65 inch flat screen TV that broke down 5 times right after we purchased it. I give up on Samsung! Oh yeah, that rust spot is now turning into a hole. I think it's getting to be new fridge time shortly.

Video was spot on. We bought our unit new 8 years ago and when today I took it apart, I find the back has cracks in it with bubble gum sealant covering the original cracks. The cracks have getting bigger over time time and now the bigger cracks are now allowing humid air in. The back is now a spider web of cracks. The unit was damaged when sold to me as new. Both Grand Appliance and Samsung say “ Not my problem”.

great tip on force defrosting. Of course the manual doesnt tell you about THAT!! It helped loosen the ice because we could not get the back off. Once we got the back off the ice was completely covering everything. Hair dryer and small hammer and screwdriver (carefully used) got it all off in less than an hour. A side benefit is opportunity for deep clean of the entire fridge!! ;-) We were able to do all this without disconnecting the wires. There was a enough room to work.

One question; could having food (jars, containers, etc flush against the panel holes interfere with the proper functioning of the defrosting & then lead to ice buildup that affects the fan? Should I maintain a 1-2 inch gap? Thanks.

I can't find a link for how to do forced defrost on my model. I tried pressing and holding the refrigerator and the power freeze. Didn't work on model RF28T500SR. The control panel on this is inside the door on the right side. I unplugged the fridge, took out all the food, took out and washed all shelves and drawers, pulled it out from the wall and vacuumed the back. This all took several hours and I would have thought that would have been sufficient to thaw any ice, but perhaps not, as the thing is still humming away! I was hoping to try the forced defrost before biting the bullet and taking things apart. Thanks for the thorough instructions on how to do that.

I didn't realize you could defrost the panel with buttons. I yanked out the panel and lost a little bit of the styrofoam and got a small crack. I used a hair dryer to defrost all the ice buildup which was causing the noisy evaporator fan issue. Worked perfect. The fridge is quiet and keeping a 37 degree temp.

@bensappliancesandjunk

It automatically defrost every so often. The systems ability to fully remove all the frost gets degraded due to blockages in the drain tube and water infiltration of the evaporator panel as well as sensors going offspec. The refrigerant lines up top get the most moist air so they soak up more ice than the defrost system can handle.

Just wanted to comment on this to boost the awareness of this video. My Samsung started to freeze up and froze up twice within 6 months. The 2nd time I heard the fan hitting the ice until it eventually stopped completely and the temp was 60F in the fridge. I got your heater kit, bought the tools you suggested off of Amazon, and did the fix you gave. It's been over a year now and I've not any issues with the evaporator/fan and the fridge is cooling as it should. Around $60 and a couple hours invested vs a $400-500 service call that would probably NOT have been a permanent fix because Samsung refuses to even acknowledge all the issues with these fridges and recall/repair them properly. I appreciate your help and thorough guidance. Unfortunately I have a separate issue with the ice maker not staying cold enough and the ice being wet/slushy and not forming proper shapes. I thought it might be the gasket separating it from the fridge area being loose and letting warm air into it but I'm not sure. Any advice on that? I know there's a class-action lawsuit about it but I don't know if there's actually any decent fixes. Can't remember the model # but mine is a french door model with the Twin Cooling Plus and the Flex Drawer.

Just a quck question, will the freezer say running while I do this? I want to do each one at time, so I can keep things cold, or is this, strip the while fridge and defrost all?

It'll defrost the ice behind the panel in the freezer, but only enough to remove the ice, then it'll trip off.

In the issue of the frozen-up fan, moisture is, usually 80-90% of problems. The two best ways to fix this is through either a moisture kit: bit.ly/3nPK5WV Or secondary heater kit (or better yet, both): .bit.ly/3azB4e4 Hope the video helps you! ~ Ben

Can it also be caused by an overstuffed freezer? I have a garbage Samsung and I'm taking a look at it today. I pulled the fridge out and cleaned the backside and it was quiet for two days. Noisy again. Its that fan. Thank you SO much. I love your channel.
