The part shown in the video can be ordered here: amzn.to/2UeeiAe After feedback from 10's of thousands of views and many comments, we'd like to add: 1) Our initial fix as shown in the video and detailed in the article linked above lasted for YEARS. 2) When we ran into the issue again years later, the first thing I checked are the drain tubes at the back of the fridge. Several commenters here have reported those tubes at the bottom back of the fridge (you'll have to roll your fridge out), can get clogged and cause the same issue. I checked ours and they were clear. 3) I then adjusted the fridge temp 2 degrees warmer and after about a week, we were back to normal and no longer having issues with water in the crisper drawers again.

I'm retired and just didn't want to hassle with it, but after 4 different "experts" came out and quoted everything from a faulty sensor to replace the coils for $500+, I finally did it myself. For $6 for 2 clips from Amazon and an hour of my time, I completed this minor task. All is back to normal. Thank you for posting this video.

Thanks for the video. My old fridge did this after 10-years, this fridge - after 2-years! You expect better from ANY manufacturer, but apparently not.

Great information and thank you. My particular problem was with the drain tube itself. They have an external/internal sleeve which deteriorated and turns into a cone which was blocking the flow. It is accessible by removing the rear vent plate. Hope this might help others.

Hi! Thank you! You guys doing these videos give me a 5’ tall , unmechanical ‘mature’ woman to have the confidence to give this repair a shot/ why not- it’s a $7 part! Of course I had to entirely climb INTO the fridge- should have taken pictures! Thank you again!

5 years later. You’re still the man!!!!!

This has been a known issue specific to Samsung frigerators for a long time now. Thanks for posting this repair! I'm having to go back in and repair my parents this weekend for the third time. POS appliance, hate Samsung.

Thank you for the video. We were about to throw out our 4 year old fridge and spend 1700$ to replace it because the water was filling the drawers and leaking on the floor. $22 for the part and about 45 minutes to fix and we are in business. Amazing. My only suggestion is to remove the cover in the rear to expose the evaporator pan so you can see that is totally defrosted and the water is running all the way through. Again thank you so much

The turkey baster trick worked without having to leave fridge unplugged for 24 hours. This vid saved me!

Thank you for making this video. Tonight I was able to fix it myself. There is water that has been leaking for 3 years inside. I received the metal part in two days. Luckily for me, I was able to find it on the Canadian website. With a good rear cleaning, it's back to being as quiet as it was ten years ago. Again, thank you very much.

Thank you for this video!! A few months back we noticed lots of water building up in both crisper trays and underneath. We searched for DIY video and learned about the ice build up. We turned up the temp on our fridge and freezer a few degrees and that actually helped quite a bit! Today I finally got around to completely defrosting per this videos instructions and clearing out the ice but WITH THE TEMP ADJUSTED, hopefully will avoid this problem all together going forward. We’ve had this fridge for over 10yrs and hope to get several more out of it. Thanks!

Straight forward fix and the part was next day delivery on Amazon Canada. Thank you for posting this.

Thank you so much! I’m definitely not a handywoman but just a capable person - this was easier than expected. The longest and hardest part was the defrosting. Patience is key .

Thank you so much for doing this video and saving my fridge. The repair took me a total of 2 hours and I didn’t have to unplug the fridge and I left the freezer full. I think the difference is that I was using a long flexible plastic tube I got off my kegerator to suck the water out, then replacing it with boiling water every 5 minutes. The tube was also strong enough that physically jamming it in there broke the ice up a bit and I think that’s why I was able to get it done so much faster than some of the other people who have tried it

You are not only a life saver but a money saver as well! Thanks so much for this!

Brilliant video and explanation of scope of work involved, as an engineer I decided to sort this myself and now will do. The description of ice holding the panel certainly helps so I will under take this and save $150

I DID IT! - after 10 yrs of the water draining into my buckets. I didn't think it was an issue because I rarely used my crisper buckets. the warranty was gone and I had to live with it. Gave me a chance to deep clean the fridge.

Thank you for the very good explanation. I had the same prtoblem with my Samsung refrigerator y have dismantled it as shown and the cause was obvious. I found the new heater plate at Repair Clinic!. Thanks again!

Very helpful video. Just completed the fix. Fingers crossed! Thank You

Thank you so much for posting this. We moved into a house with one of these fridges and the condensation drives me insane!

I watched yours and another gentleman's before start of the work, you guys are great! Thank you. Especially showing the replacement part, so I don't have to open it up twice.

Thanks for your most useful video. I first watched it a few months back, ordered the new part, put it in a drawer and hoped the problem would work itself out. I'm happy to report that upon much prodding and badgering, I finally did the job. So far so good. Thanks again.

Thank you so much. Just love the video. It is so helpful. I have tried so many other things and none of them have worked.

YES! Thank you, I'm so glad I found your video again! We've had this problem for about a year just dealing with it, but finally thawed the fridge as a 1st attempt with no success. Going to need the clip but glad it's out there, thanks again!!

I have had to de-ice mine a few time now.will buy the new part and hopefully fix it once and for all!. Top tip, I used isopropyl alcohol and put it down the iced up drain hole.made the ice melt a lot quicker!

I just ordered my clip. I’m gonna be a hero in the house this weekend.

Thank you so much for posting this video. It was very helpful!

After years of putting up with soggy drawers ;-) - and no luck finding a reputable repair person in my area (although I did get scammed by a disreputable one!) - I came across this video. I bought the part that day, and this past weekend did the repair. 48 hours later the fridge is still dry inside, I'm SO HAPPY!! Definitely the hardest part was emptying everything out; I chose to let the fridge warm up before removing the panel, not wanting to damage anything and we lived out of coolers for a couple days. Bonus: this is the first time every component of the interior has been fully washed, since I bought it 8/9 years ago... Thanks for the great video ♥️

Our refrigerator is 2 years old, started having the water problem. Thanks for the video! With a little help from my husband I did it myself :)

Thanks for this video. Pretty easy. Hardest part was thawing it all out.

Thanks! Had the same idea with the Turkey baster. Took a while to get it fully unclogged but got it. Used a wire to check were the clog was. Had to trim the new metal piece a bit to fit in mine.

Thank you for taking the time to post this video. Tried the fix today, we'll see what happens...

Thanks! Fixed it! Hardest part of repair is taking all the stuff out of the refrigerator !!

Good instructions, repaired mine yesterday. Thanks

Outstanding and thank you for this! I will be trying it tonight.

I just found out from watching another video that there is a defrost mode. I am in the process of doing it right now. Below is the post: "Hold the power freeze and fridge buttons for 8 seconds, use the fridge button to navigate to power defrost - on mine, it’s denoted as rd (for refrigerator defrost, I believe). This will turn the cooling-off and heat the coils for 20 minutes before going back to normal. It will beep while it’s in this mode, so don’t worry about that. I did this last night and this morning the fridge is quiet as a kitten"

Thanks for this info. I have a RS277ACPN and the refrig was full of ice build up and the fan wouldn't spin. After taking all the panel I was surprised there heating clip at all and the drain hole had a grill so wasn't even possible to have a clip. I had ordered the clips ahead of time after watching some other videos. This video provided the great idea of using a turkey baster and warm water. Thanks!!!

Thank you for helpful video. I'll order the clip and try to fix my Fridge this weekend. thanks again

Performed the repair just as you had instructed. I had no Ice build up in the collecting try or in my tube. We will see if this cures my issue with water leaking into my crisper drawer.

Many thanks. Very helpful and clear instructions. Completed in about 2 hours.

Thanks for this informative video. I was able to complete the repair today!

Thanks for the information. Boiled water in microwave and poured it in the drain and sucked it out using a Turkey Flavor Injector with a 4” needle. With this and a hair dryer it drain quickly. Thanks!

Thank you very much for this video! It was very helpful

Took a couple 4” pieces of copper solid core 20g wire, wrapped them around defrost heater tube on either side of original drain heater piece, extending into drain hole...moved sensor from input to output side...so far it’s working just fine! Thanks for this excellent video.

Good video! I was able to complete my repair by following it. The only thing I would add is to make sure you pull the fridge out and vacuum dust off the condenser coils underneath. You will also be able to see the evaporation pan that the condensate drips into. Having someone pour a little water into the drain hole will tell you the drain line is completely clear of ice.

This video was exactly what o needed!! Thank you so very much for the succinct post!!! Lovely! God bless!

Great help. Our metal clip was not even in the hole, that's why we froze....we will get a better clip....thank you!

Great video, excellent camera work and easy to understand description of process. Subbed!!!

Good video! Thanks for helping me repair my fridge.

Thank you for posting.

Glad I discovered this. Just what I needed to do for my SAMSUNG fridge. Thanks so much!

Thank you for making this video. Really good info and has helped fixed my fridge problem.

Very helpful, though I'm not sure I will be able to pull this off myself. I will order the clip, however, and hopefully, find an 'assistant' to help. Thanks very much for your help!

I looked at other video and thought my sensor was bad, changed it out and didn't fix the problem. Saw another video where the guy just hung a copper wire long enough to reach the bottom of the well. I did that and the problem was gone. Looks like the "newer design replacement" is the official way to go :) thanks for posting.

thanks! so helpful! we are currently watching as we fix our fridge

Thank you for the video.

Thanks went well great video,really hoping this works a new fridge is expensive and finding one that fits can be difficult,not many 33" 19 cubic ft counter depth.

Thanks for the awesome video! Saved me a bunch of money!

Great video! Thank you

Bought all new appliances two years ago. All Samsung. Two of them showed problems within one year. Never buying Samsung again.

Yea I have a different model design different I didn’t have water in. Crisper Just wouldn’t cool Fixed that by another method. It good to see this also.

Excellent job with teaching thank you

I am not going to rehash the details provided in the other reviews and in several very helpful you-tube videos. I did have a simple fix which did solve the problem in my case. When I removed the evap cover I was pleasantly surprised to find no icing. I went ahead and replaced the drainage tubes and the evap drain clip. Samsung A/S Assembly-Water Leakage N DA82-01415A has all the parts for less than $25.00 from Amazon. The plate behind the evap coil did not want to come off easily so I left it on rather than risk breaking something. Since icing was not my problem I wasn't too concerned about the insulating strips. What I did find was corrosion on the steel back of the evap cover. The cover has a flange on the bottom that directs condensation into the condensation drain. The flange had corroded to the point that condensation was leaking down the back of the refrig and into the compartment. That explained the rusty stains on the back of the refrig compartment. I cleaned the plate as best I could and dried it thoroughly with a hair dryer. Then I covered the corroded area with self adhesive aluminum tape, making sure to remake the flange. Be sure to press the tape down thoroughly. I did this 2 weeks ago and checked for moisture today. To my great relief the compartment is bone dry. Hope this helps.

Fixed mine, thanks for sharing the video, great help!

Thank you so much. It works! this is very helpful

Did this today. Thanks for the simple video!

Thank you!! great video, subscribed!! I use a heat gun for ice melting, faster than hair dryers but be careful will melt plastic.......GE Monograms are the worst for this problem!!

Thank you for this 👍

Thank you for your video. You helped me fix my fridge. I have liked and subscribed to your channel!

I did this last night but my whole unit was iced over. I’m sure not everyone has one but I used my steamer and it worked great. Blow dryer worked too but steamer was way faster

Thank you so much. 🎄

Thanks for this! Just fixed mine that was doing the same thing. Took longer to take everything out and put it all back than it did to actually fix it 🤣

Absolutely awesome, so easy thank you so much!! Hopefully now our crisper won’t fill up anymore. 😊

Thank You!

So Samsung gives only a year warranty. Had trouble with the ice maker twice. Kept freezing up. Finally we got that replaced! Now problem with this leak you show. So had a service guy come out twice, & changed the Twin Cooling system panel 2x. Never addressed the problem you are showing us. Figuring they must have corrected it by now. But no. As of 5/2019 still having a small leak. This is unbelievable that consumers have to go through this! We are under a warranty company...so calling the guy to come back again. They really need to refund us, or have a recall on all their lousy fridges, if they don't get this problem solved! Thanks for your very informative video! 👍🏼

Thank for your video, sumsung brand that is bad of refrigerator

Thank you! Never would have fixed without you.

Thank you!

Absolutely great video. Thanks

UPDATE: Installed the updated part yesterday (from Amazon) Getting that old clip off is a bit of a hassle, I used a needle nose plier to wiggle an edge back and forth until it tore. Suggestion - I put a corner of a plastic grocery bag under the old piece to catch any metal scraps that broke off so they wouldn't fall into the drain. Also, even with a dryer and fan pointing inside, and pouring in hot water, the actual drain took about 5 hours to thaw .... so put your food in another fridge if you have one, or for sure an ice chest .. Wow!... excellent detail. And you are the first one that I watched that actually showed the replacement part number... Just ordered, and my next project asap when it arrived!

great info - thanks

Just FYI - I was completely unable to cut the old metal tab off using a standard wire cutter as shown in this video. I tried everything from Channelock cable cutters to Hakko flush cutters, all to no avail. I finally resorted to using a pair of miniature bolt cutters, which worked like a charm. Only the bolt cutters were able to bite into the metal tab at a high enough point (i.e. around the rivet) without putting too much stress on the heating element.

Well, I just finished implementing this fix, and am waiting for the fridge to cool down again. It is at the (east) coast in a very humid environment, and we've had water and ice in the hydrator drawers and underneath from the first week. Fingers crossed... (and thank you -- we have the exact same model so your pictures were a perfect match for my fridge).

The best video thanks

Great video which helped me quickly find the part and fix the problem in about 1.5 hours for $10. Note that hot water wouldn't go through the drain hole so I had to remote the lower back panel to check the fridge drain tube located in the right corner to find-out that it was clogged with slime. I removed, cleaned and replace the drain tube which may have been the source of the problem. I notice a similar earlier comment and would recommend that you also check and clean the drain tube. Thanks.

Thanks for helping me fix this annoying problem with my fridge. Your video was so awesome. I only wish you had showed the cutting off of that old lame metal piece, but I figured it out. I appreciate you so much!!

Use a turkey injector and you can thaw the tube in less than 60 seconds. You need to be gentle because the drain tube is plastic and our injector has a metal tip. Suck up the hot water into the injector, then expel it and suck it back in, repeat. I changed the water after about 3 cycles. I just microwaved about 2/3 a cup of water. Great video and thanks for tip on the replacement part. Wish I had watched this one first!

I did this "fix" years ago and it helped a little, but I still have to regularly disassemble and then clear the drain line.

THANK YOU!!!! It took hours to thaw out the tube but DONE. Thank you so much.

Thanks so much!!!

Hi, thanks for the video. I’ve been struggling With this for a few years. I found that there is a drop tube at the back of the refrigerator that is white. Inside is a little valve that lets water down but stops insects/ warm air from going up. Algae had grown on it and it was stuck closed. The water was backing up all the way to the coils. It was an easy fix once I pulled it out.

Ok- not successful. Still leaked, but the experience was empowering! I’m not willing to do the tubes in the back, so we’re putting this old fridge out to pasture! Hope you repair Kitchen Aids!!!!

I'm fixing to try wrapping some 18 guage copper wire, I picked up at Home Depot, next to the existing ice defroster clip and hoping it transfers enough heat to work. Thx for sharing this video👍

Thx!!

Thanks! We are looking at buying a Samsung Refrigerator and researched and read all the repair problems. Crazy that Samsung doesn't ship these with these fixes when it's new! My take away is put this fix and the one with snipping the rubber drains in the back from another video BEFORE you plug it in and set up your new, Expensive refrigerator. Frustrating to say the least but may "prevent" the problem in the first place!

Thanks

Thank you! So easy I was able to do it with my 1 year old strapped to my back!

Thanks so much

can u tell me your Fridge modlel ,and how to remove the Screw with cover in the middle

Merci beaucoup👍👍
