I have the same fridge at purchase it dripped just like you’re explaining as well what I did is turn the water pressure down on the main valve feeding my fridge. That instantly solve the problem

My problem has not gone away. My solution works well and was simple to do. If you just bought your Samsung refrigerator, I recommend calling for them to send someone out to try to fix it. I did that, but they couldn't fix it. If you can't get it fixed quickly, I recommend returning the refrigerator. Or, try my solution, which I'm satisfied with, although I would not buy another Samsung refrigerator because of this. I would expect them to have smart enough engineers/designers to do be able to avoid this problem or at least provide a drip tray to catch the drip.

You are not 'fixing a drip'! It is still dripping! It is a piece of foam!

I just bought one of those refrigerators from Home Depot as well, so far so good Thank you so much for sharing Have a great day.

I have a different newer Samsung with a similar problem. Still under warranty for another 3 months. I'll give them a call but if all else fails, I like your idea.

We had a similar problem with an older Samsung french door refrigerator. Our problem was the water line was cracked at the upper hinge and was non-replaceable because the line is bonded in the door. I bought some tubing and ran a new line on the outside of the door. Works great, no drips.

Looks like I'm not the only one who's having dripping problem.

Not gonna lie this guy has soothing voice .

I have the same fridge and it does the same thing. Samsung needs to step up their game.

Thanks for the video. I just perchases the exact same refrigerator and I am having the same issue. They are coming out tomorrow to check it. Hopefully they can fix it, because I don’t think I could return it at this time also. If I can not return it, I will try the same fix. Thank you again.

The solution to this problem is in the waterline installation. The installers left a slanted tip in the tube and this needs to be a straight cut so there is no air getting into the waterline. Problem solved. Use a box cutter over a cutting board.

I have the same Samsung refrigerator for about 6 months. It just started leaking about 3 weeks ago. I checked the connections and then removed the filter and ran 1/2 gallon of water & then replaced it and ran another 1/2 gallon through there without a problem. This was done 72 hours ago...so far not 1 drip with using the water or the ice. If it returns. I'm planning on turning down the water inlet valve to see if that fixes it. BTW Lowes has a 4 day return limit. After that time you have to talk to Samsung about warranty work. We still like our Samsung dishwasher and washer & dryer.

This is either an over-pressure condition (turn the valve “down” slightly on the water supply to the fridge) or a bad 2-way water valve solenoid. Mine “snaps” shut and no drips!

Call Samsung if you just bought it. They have a warranty. They replaced the icemaker finally in mine. Samsung's repair folks who replaced the icemaker said there was a design improvement in the icemaker that should fix the drip. Several weeks have passed and we've noticed improvement now. I believe the quality of products of all types has really gone down. One appliance repairman said the appliances are built to last only about 8 years now. He said the days of a refrigerator lasting 15-20 years are gone because of profits. He said that was one reason Sears was losing a lot of money, because their products lasted too long!

Sorry, but that is not a fix. Ridiculous that Samsung cannot figure this out. I just plugged in my Samsung refrigerator and experienced the same issue. Water flowed nicely but several seconds after dispensing the water it would drip. I took the filter out and dispensed several cups of water with the filter out and resolved the issue. I'm guessing air gets in the water lines and puts pressure on the system.

Got a brand new Samsung fridge today and same issue!!! Went to KZfaq and found this! Wtf

I have a four month old Samsung refrigerator with the exact same issue. It got progressively worse from day 1. Same issue, outside of return window. Love the fridge except for the constantly wet drip tray. Called Samsung and a tech will come for in-home service. I wonder if there is a solenoid issue that prevents the water to shut off effectively. Thank you.

Brilliant fix ❤

here's what i did to fix my brand new leaking water dispenser: i took the little plastic part off the top of the fridge as though i was going to take off the doors. this also revealed the water hose and its connector between the blue hose that comes up from the filter and the white hose that goes down into the door to the dispenser. i disconnected and reconnected both hoses. problem solved. i don't know if this fix will work for you or if this fix will last. if the leak comes back, i will update my comment here.

Yes, we have the same exact issue first hour we got it. It's not a big drip but a problem just the same. Does residual dripping eventually stop for you?

Here for the same problem. Just bought the thing a few months ago. Hopefully this will be fixed under warranty.

I had a similar issue with my Frigidaire. Water would leak out when door was opened. I checked the water line at the top of the door (where hinge is covered) and there is a small crack allowing air to get in.

sadly to say but I learned from others that there are only 2 Samsung products to buy, TV and cell phone. Everything else is problematic for not calling it something else..

Hey guys, just got a different model with the exact same type of ice and water dispenser and SAME PROBLEM. I read the possible fixes to problems and they said if there is a water drip, check the connections. Well, I checked the connections and there was an all so slight leak. I ensured I had the suggested water hose, because I read at the Lowes site, they said if you didn't use the suggested hose type, it would void the warranty. I tighten the connection that the Lowes guy did earlier when he dropped off the unit. The drip is just so slight now but frigging annoying. I think Samsung probably has a terrible design and if there is the slightest amount of air entering the system, the valve doesn't close correctly as evident by their things to check if there are problems. I would check all connections and make user you don't see any leaks. Got to wonder if you may have some type of leak in the internals too. Seems like a good tech could pressure check the system. Maybe they missed the easy stuff and not looked at where they were tied into the water system. I think the valve design is terrible. Water flow should be either be off or on. There should be no water leakage. I may just tell Lowes to come and pick their new wonderful unit up and give my money back. Hope you all figure this out. You may want to check this link out too. I drained at least a gallon of water and not seen any drips after 30 mins and getting another cup of water. Maybe this is like bleeding breaks...OMG. Might have been the final solution. I let you all know after a day or so. Again, they know they have a problem. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fpmbZ7Krq7TRenk.html One last note. I noticed a very slight drip that took a while to show. I finally figured out how not to deal with this. I change the setting from water to ice. I will probably never use the water anyway. Way to slow and I never used it on my old fridge. I just want the ice. Pain in the butt!

Mine started dripping really slow after filter change routine.Drained lots of water after until stream was steady but the drip didnt go away.Next step, I removed the filter and started draining again without the filter for a few gallons then pit the filter back and drained few more gallons.It is still dripping really slow after a few minutes of dispensing a cup of water.I left it alone after 24 hours and still saw a very slow frequency of drip.There might still be an air trap somewhere in the system but this is annoying.For a fridge worth more than 3k bucks to let a trap air everytime you change filter gives inconvenience for costumers is just not acceptable.Now Im hesitant to change the filter again if the drip goes away.How come they didnt install a shut off valave or something after the filter to get rid of the drip when its not dispensing water

Nice job

I have the same issue same fridge the drip happens whether on ice or water just got in August 2021 Lowes Outlet

I have the exact same fridge, same issue

brilliant, i just folded a piece of paper towel and put it there, serve the same purpose i guess. after a top of the line dishwasher broke on us after 6 month of normal use and another 6 month to repair, and now the fridge, all i can say is when come to appliances, run away as fast as possible from Samsung, to make it better, their customer service is just as bad as their products. run!

Same issue here. Samsung tech came twice without solving it. Stores are still selling this model incredibly

Samsung needs to have a recall!

Simple resolution. Don't open your water all the way. I am posting because I can't find the correct comment with the correct answer. I am having the same issue with my refrigerator that was delivered today and professional installed.

Mine is doing the sam thing and I just bought it!!!

I have the same problem with my Samsung refrigerator.

I do not use my water dispenser for 3 yrs now cause of leaking you should write a review on hellopeter about your fridge they will fix it

I just replaced our Samsung refrigerator after having a problem with ice buildup in the drain tube. They came out five times but we weren’t unable to fix it. I will never buy another Samsung.

Gif damn it bobby

Just got mine today and its dripping..its not right.

My double door Hisense fridge does same ..the water dispenser keeps dripping and it’s so annoying

Not sure why you said u fixed it

Today is 5/15/2024 and just installed this Samsung refrigerator and water leaks!!!!! Very disappointed!!!

Well long behold 2years later, there new models have the same problems….

System has air in the line.

Am having the same problem

WOW that's a fix??

Cutting a very small V shape into the end of the water fill tube will eliminate the issue It helps push all of the water out of the tube.

Yes, folding a paper towel and cutting it to fit is a great idea. I think I'm going to avoid Samsung products. When you pay a lot for a refrigerator, you should get one from a company that cares enough to design one without such obvious and irritating flaws. If that's the way they make things, with that type of attitude, you get wary.

You didn't fix anything. Why make a video to show people how to make a mop?

😂
