PLEASE READ!!! Had to "de ice" every 6 months until I read that if you spray "Pam" on the coils it will prevent ice buildup. So I tried it and haven't had a problem since. 5 years and still no ice build up!

Are you referring the cooking Pam? Spray it directly on the evaporator coil? Thank you.

Great video. Allowed me to repair my fridge. I also removed the evaporator fan and installed a new one. But I first took the old one and plugged it in while hanging with the old defroster heater part still installed. The fan seemed perfectly good when spun by hand, but had been encased in a block of ice. I never heard it come on with doors closed. I then replaced the defroster heater, re-installed the cover with new fan and you can hear the fan blowing with door closed so all is well. I point this out because if I had more time, I could have tested the old fan with new defroster part installed, which I did not, but saving old fan because it looks okay. Thank you.

Great Ryan such a succinct explanation through the steps my fridge evaporator is not freezing & defrost element working fine the ice build up is higher where the metal pipes enter they both then freeze & the excessive ice build grows to the point that the thermo fan is blocked from rotating because of this ice build up ...so mu problem is like the fridge is over cooling . I'm thinking to install copper wire that drops into the drain hole (just preventative not my primary issue) & maybe get some further Thermo/Insulation for the incoming & return coolant pipes ?? Model SRF680CDLS. Has heating element & sensors replaced 2 years ago when the whole fridge evap used to ice up...2 year on slightly different issue. takes about 3 weeks for the excessive ice to build up & stop the fridge fan from doing it's thing the heating element is working fine...so any help in this area would be great have four kids just out of Covid lock down in Australia & prefer not to buy another fridge :).

I did check the sensor afterwards and it showing 5.5ohm on room temperature and 10 in ice water. Defrost heater seems to be working as i accidentally touched it and it was very hot. Any ideas what it could be? Thanks in advance.

You did go through how to check the heater coil. I assume that you just check it for continuity?

On some you have to do an Ohm test instead of continuity because the ohm value is too high to register continuity. We have a video on that here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p52YrNaYztbeoIU.html

This video shows defrost t-stat in series with the heater...as I expected. My Frigidaire has separate wires, but I expect it's the same series circuit, so t-stat is not a low voltage signalling device to my circuit board. Good to know b4 I go after the circuit board to check it. Thanks.

@sanseiryu 2 жыл бұрын
This is odd. It may be the reason for faulty defrosting. Most of the problems related to these Samsung's are a large ice buildup in the upper right. The frost/ice never fully melts resulting in a mass of ice that only gets bigger. The terminator should be located in the upper right of the evaporator coil as that portion is the most active region for the freeze cycle. The terminator determines the defrost cycle. By locating it away from the area most likely to build up frost, you run the risk of not fully defrosting the coil and the tubing. The solution would be to have a separate heater and bimetal terminator, with the terminator relocated to the upper right of the coil. Improper technical design. Unfortunately, trying to fix it may be impossible given the one piece construction of the heater,/terminator. I will be sure to avoid these models of S/S refrigerators. Unlikely that it is a sealed system charge issue. Far too many S/S refrigerators are afflicted by this problem and ice maker leaks resulting in potential Class Action lawsuits.

No, you will need to get the correct defrost heater that does not have the thermostat attached to it. Check the tag on your old heater for the correct part number.

My bimetal is stuck on closed at all temperatures, so although it freezes the ice, it does it only once. Then during the defrost cycle it Melts up everything that was frozen.

can the heater go partly bad, meaning it defrosts but not enough? that seems to have been a problem in the past. my water on the floor in front of the fridge doesn't seem to be coming from inside the fridge or freezer AT THIS POINT... but seems to be coming from underneath. the drains in both the fridge and freezer seem to be open and free-flowing. the tray under the unit has a good amount of water in it all the time. the fan by the compressor runs.

No, the defrost heater is either good or bad from our experience. If the refrigerator is partially defrosting, we would suspect one of the other defrost components as being bad (defrost temperature sensor, bi-metal thermostat, main control board). kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gJuSqsalysuufoE.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p52YrNaYztbeoIU.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bdGTqc-fvJ61iaM.html
