THANK YOU! The condo I bought has this fridge and after three years, started to notice a very warm fridge. I Googled, found your video, let it defrost overnight. Only cost was $14.99 for the hair dryer! You’re a dollar saver for sure! Appreciated!

Give this guy his own show!! Super entertaining and THANK YOU for helping me fix my fridge!!!

Thank you so much for this video. We have a Samsung RS265TDRS, with the double doors (one side freezer, and the other side refrigerator), and your clear and concise instructions saved us several hundred dollars in repair bills. However, let's face it, if the repair person who showed up was incompetent, we would have ended up spending several thousand dollars on a new refrigerator. Bless you!

I just literally had to do this and yes the whole back panel was frozen. We had a repair come today and say he need to change Evap cover for $185 not including the $135 repair cost, and the 69 diagnostic fee.. I said absolutely NOT. Husband also told me the guy didn't even take off the whole back panel so how would have guessed what the problem was.. I am soooo grateful for your video!!!!!

Had to reach out and THANK YOU SO MUCH! A normal guy doing an extremely doable repair. This fix worked perfectly for my fridge. I'm grateful!

Than you. You save me a lot of money with this video. The place where a purchase the fridge wanted me to buy insurance for hundreds of dollars a year. I was just about to call a technician, tomorrow morning. instead I'll be working on my fridge. Thanks again.

Thank you so much! This video was a lifesaver. My 10 year old, 8 year old, and I fixed our fridge while my hubby was at work... feeling super accomplished today thanks to you! :)

You’re a life saver. It’s incredibly annoying that they would not have a better fix or even offer some free repair for their slip up.

Thanks for this video you just saved us $3000.00 We live in Australia and several repair technicians were not interested in working on a Samsung. Our side by side is 10 years old and the freezer was working but not the fridge. Your method worked a treat and it’s now working perfectly. Thank you so much.

Man,I just watched your video and did exactly what you explained. The fan was frozen over. Thank you,you saved me some money on calling out a technician. I appreciate you and this video.

Well, add me to the looong list of people happy you posted this. I had exactly the same problem and your video made it go away. Thank You!

Thank you for this informative and at times very entertaining video. I followed your directions last night and my fridge miraculously came back to life.

Flip, thanks so much for the video! I had the same classic symptoms, heard some strange fan noises for a few days, then noticed that my milk was warmer than normal, but the freezer was working fine. Mines a similar RS267TDBP. This is the first time its done it in 5 years. Thanks again!

I was going to make this video today and looks like you beat me to it. Just a quick shout out to Flip to say thanks and your video is spot on for this model. In my experience, my wife and I noticed the fridge making some noise about 2 weeks prior to not cooling at all. This was the fan trying to cut through ice and keep working. Because I was so busy I didn't have time to defrost, so I let it go and ended up having to rip it apart.

THANK YOU SIR! You just saved me from a huge bill. Had the same problem and it wound up being exactly as you showed in this video. My fridge side is cooling normally again and the fan is back at work. Just a note, if you own one of these Samsung fridges and you start to hear a little rattle/clanking sound in your fan, check it for ice BEFORE it freezes up and stops turning.

Thank you! This was my problem EXACTLY! I was able to fix it just like you showed in the video. We have had the fridge for 6 years and this is the first time it broke. Was soooo grateful not to have spent any money. Again, thanks!

hey man. thanks a lot, you saved me from spending some big bucks, I was about to scrap my fridge just for this little problem I really appreciate this. thank you again.

You have just successfully fixed a Samsung in York, UK! Thank you so much for this, ours is a much older model but the principal seemed the same!

Yes yes yes! Thank you so much. My refrigerator is working now! Your instructions were so clear and helpful.

Thank you! 2-1/2 hrs. and no technician’s bill. 3/10 Sunday, you are THE MAN. Sure, after you said; so easy a two yr old could do it... you had me. You shamed me in to doing this. Thanks again!

Thank God for you, because a repair company was about to charge me 675.00 for the exact same problem with my 2 year old Samsung. My son and I followed your steps. And now my refrigerator is working and cooling great. Thanks again.

63,000 views...........Samsung has a problem and you did a great, simple to understand video...........thank you

Thank you so very much! You saved us a lot of money! : ) We followed your instructions precisely. It took less than an hour from start to finish and our refrigerator is now working again! Thank you for being so generous and sharing your knowledge! We are truly grateful!

Hey man... thanks for this video! I have the same fridge with the same symptoms. Your tutorial was exactly what I needed. Mine now works as it should. Thanks again!

Awesome of you to post this. You saved me a service call. I love you tube helping us out from good people like you sharing tips. Thanks!!!!

Awesome video! Straightforward & to the point. We have same fridge. Do this while my son is at work. Mixed emotions during this chore, however I am so glad I spend an hour or so getting the fridge cooling again instead of spending hundreds of dollars. Our fridge does this at least once a month.We live in So.Texas. Thank you so much for giving your audience confidence sir. Appreciate you acknowledging techs needing to make a living but when you don't have extra money... this is the way.(btw) I'm 68, retired mom. If I can follow your instructions, & finish this diy chore anyone surely can. You've kept it simple.

This fixed the problem. It was on a different Samsung model but mostly the same configuration. I have a handy husband and we generally try to fix things ourselves. You gave good instructions and we were able to fix it. The most difficult part is removing the cover. Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge.

Thanks for showing this! Saved us a repair man and any new parts!

Thank you so much!! Just went through this with my Samsung refrigerator. It was easy as you showed...took about an hour an half to fix and $0!!

This video ROCKS! Thank you and a big thumbs up!! I followed the manual instructions of unplugging for 24 hours and then trying, no luck. I then called a service tech out of the house who had me do the exact same thing and said if that did not work, then I had a bad compressor. He said the cost and repair of a compressor is nearly the cost of buying a new refrigerator. Unfortunately he was clueless and it cost me $100 for the "service" call but at least I found this video and it now works fine. You saved me a lot of money and stress, so I appreciate the time you took to make this!

Went home last night and tried this fix. I happy to say that this issue is now resolved. Paul I appreciate your help and you saved our family between 300 to 400 dollars yesterday. THANKS AGAIN!

Excellent video! This fixed my fridge too! Very grateful for this! Thank you! (PS, when I was all done with the defrost and put the panel back on, my fridge didn't work right away. I plugged it back in and the lights came on, but fridge didn't start back up. My fridge needed to be plugged in for 5 minutes before the sensors told the motor to get back to work.)

Thank you for this video. I was about to buy a new fridge then I saw this. Amazing! You saved the day and a thousand plus bucks!!

I love this guy! About to try his solution right now. Even if it doesn't work I still think he's great. Samsung, however, sucks. I will never buy another Samsung product.

Just adding to what everybody else is saying, THANKS A LOT! Still getting a new refrigerator, but this one works again and is going outside to my garage. 👍

We don’t have the same model but we “HAD” the same issue. Thank you for posting this video. You helped and saved me money. DO IT YOURSELF WARRIORS STICK TOGETHER!!!!😎

This fix works! I had a RS25H model that had more ice buildup than what was shown in the video and now it is working great. Thank you!

Well it looks like I am joining the long list of people who you've helped. Thank you very much. Mine was a bit more complicated, but still it wasn't too hard.

Great video! Fixed my problem in about an hour without paying an arm and leg to a tech!! Thanks!

Thank you so much!! I can home yesterday to my refrigerator fan going bananas. After watching your video, it took me about two hours to defrost the fan and inner workings of my refrigerator. You saved me $200 in groceries and god only knows how much in service costs. Thank you!!! Very helpful!!! And now I feel I know a little more about my refrigerator and won’t be so scared to fix something in the future. Thank you again.

Thank you posting the video! We followed the steps exactly and found the ice blocking the fan. The video is great. Our refrigerator is up and running. Thank you again.

Thanks for posting this, I just had my handyman watch the video and he made the repair. Appreciate you sharing the knowledge.

Thank you for your video. Just did my refrigerator this morning. It was at 47 degrees before. Now it’s a cold 36. Great instruction.

Thanks so much for posting this. If not for this video, I'd never have thought to melt the ice with a hairdryer before trying to remove the panel!

THANK YOU SO MUCH! Out of all the videos I've watched on this issue, this was the most accurate.. my Samsung refrigerator is now up and running.. finally getting cool in the fridge..

You Sir just saved me hundreds of dollars!!! Thank you so much! Your steps were so easy to follow!

Thanks a lot for taking the time to do this video. My problem was exactly the same. All good now.

hi there, i just want to say that your a amazing person for putting this video up. My fridge was playing up and currently i'm so poor that i would not have been able to get a engineer out. Your video was spot on, the hairdryer was genius and I just wanted to thank you so very much. God bless you !!

Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!!! I fixed my refrigerator because of your video. I have a slightly different model than yours. Mine is RS265TDRS(in case someone else with this model has the same issue). I only have this refrigerator for a few years and all of the sudden it stopped working. Without your video and clear instructions, I would've to spend hundreds of dollars to have someone to come out and fix it if not buying a new one. Everything you mentioned in the video was EXACTLY what happened to mine. Ice was all over the panel and most importantly, all over the fan. It took me 2 hours to melt the ice and took the panel off. So for those of you having a hard time removing the panel, well, it took me a long time as well. You just have to be patient. But at the end it's all worth it. You have saved me money(potentially a repair cost or a new refrigerator), headache and time! I can't thank you enough, Paul. If you have an address, I would love to send you a bottle of wine. :)

Sir your video is awesome and so simple to understand it👏 . My first thought was to replace my 3 year old refrigerator. Samsung really don’t help and they want to refer you to a technician full of complaints in google. U saved me a $1,600. GOD BLESS YOU!

thank you very much sir!!! We had the exact same fridge and the exact same problem. Saved me so much time and money! God Bless you sir!

THANK YOU! U SAVED ME MONEY! May the Universe bless you!

You just saved me 3K tonight as I was about to go to the store and buy a new one. thanks

Wow! Thank you so much for the easy to follow video, my fridge is working perfect now and you have saved me and my husband time and money. Thanks so much

Thank you! Great video, first-timer. Concise, easy to follow and great instruction. 👍⭐️👏

Thank you so much, your tutorial is amazing! I can follow each step easily.

I had been noticing our water bottles in the fridge not getting as cold as they used to. Woke up one day with light blinking on screen and fridge was warm. Wife said should we repair or not worth it and just get a new fridge. I didn’t want to just spent +$1,000. So I searched and found your video. Once I took the cover off it was almost completely frozen fan couldn’t even spin. You saved me so much money thanks for the vid. My fridge is the RS263TDPN. Thanks again

I followed your instructions today and found lots of ice behind that panel. It's all back together now, and seems to be working fine. Thanks for the video!

omg. . ty so much..im a 34 year old single female and your video definitely worked..Samsung was sending a technician out 2 days from now (ofcoarse all $10 of my groceries would have expired). Your video saved me hundreds. Thankkkk you soooo much because I would have definitely been pissed if they would have came to my house and told me to let my refrigerator thaw after I paid my deposit, not including parts or labor. Thank you so much I'm very grateful!

Great Video!! I watched, I followed step by step, and I fixed my Samsung RS267. You just saved me $$$$$ because my husband and son were trying to get me to buy a new one. Thank You!!!

Excellent video, been doing this same maintenance for 2 years now. Great work !

Wow! Oh my goodness! You save us money every year by doing this! Thank you, DD! But one question... Are these technicians disliking this video? You already gave a warning to them unless they just turn on the video, mute, and dislike! Terrible idea! By the way, nice pool clean video too. ;)

Thanks for your video.I have the same unit you do. I woke up this morning from my wife telling me there is something wrong with the refrigerator seems to be very warm. Of course it is Christmas Eve. and we have all of the family and a full fridge. I tore apart and it was exactly what you showed on this vid. Took apart an hour and things are back up and running. You saved our Christmas! thanks jL

I've been looking for this video last year and unfortunately I couldn't find it!! I ended up calling a technician and was asked to leave the fridge open and unplugged for several days. The technician ended up saying it was the motherboard and needed replacing. $450 later, the fridge was fixed but I guess I would have fixed it when I defrosted for several days myself. Fortunately this happened in the middle of winter and all my food was just sitting in the patio at refrigerator temperature. 6 months later it's happening again and my wife is yelling wanting a new fridge. First search and I found you!! THANK YOU so much!! You just saved me from buying a new fridge. I just came back from the hospital with a new born so I'll be working on this while bright and early tomorrow!!

Had to say thank you! I have an RS265 model and these instructions worked perfectly for me. You just saved me a bunch of money.

Using this tip right now. In the midst of melting a giant chunk of ice. Thanks for this video!

This worked for me, super easy, took no time at all. Thanks!

With your video I was able to fixed my Refrigerator thank you so much I save some money and save my food.God Bless

Thanks. We've had our Samsung for seven years and haven't had a problem. Your video saved us several hundred dollars. Appreciate it. Although, I didn't expect to spend the day defrosting the refrigerator. We are up and running just fine.

You are awesome! This was driving me insane. 30 min and house is quiet. Thanks!!!

Thank you for the video. I paid $300 last time and this time I fixed myself. So far it’s cooling down. Thank you.

Thanks!! Followed your steps and the refrigerator is working perfectly.

I have 2006 Samsung model RS255BABB. I did what you showed on your video and it worked like a charm. THANK YOU.

Hey man, same problem on a similar model. Your video saved me $300. Exact same problem, ice in the fan. Originally thought a bearing went out, now I know. Thanks.

Thank you so much. My parents have the same exact fridge and it started messing up within the first year they got it. They quickly got it repaired because it had warranty at the time, but now that it's up, we were about to spend who knows how much to get it fixed. This has been happening frequently, so we were just about to get a new fridge and call it a day. Luckily after showing my dad this video he went and copied all that you did and now it cools again.

Worked for us on a Saturday Night! Great video. I could hear my fan making a strange noise earlier in the week and then noticed my temp reading flashing when i checked it. Refrigerator not cooling. Hair dryer did the trick!

This video helped me get my fridge back to work again ... it was easy after watching your video, thank you 👍

We had the same problem! We just did everything as you have. Just plugged the fridge back in waiting to see if it starts cooling again!

Just thought I'd let you know I was in the parking lot about to go in and pick out a new fridge when I decided to do a quick search to see if my lack of cooling issue was common. I came across your video and decided to go back home and give it a go as I needed a working fridge today. Sure enough everything was iced up. Followed your video and it's back in business! First time in 6 years it's iced up, hopefully it's not a recurring issue but now I know what to look for. Thanks for saving me from spending a grand or more on another not built to last heap they try to pass off as appliances these days.

Thank you, thank you!! You have save me and the hubby money! Thank you for taking the time to do this for people like us xx

Had the exact same problem. Fan started to make loud sputtering noises and than finally stopped. Noticed the top portion of the fridge was no cooling as well as the bottom despite the internal temperature reading at 34 degrees. Using your instructions I was able to take apart my fridge, defrost the fan and other parts, and put it all back together. Within an hour after plugging it back in temperature's were back to normal and air ventilation to the top of the fridge was good again. THANK YOU! Note to others doing this: The back panel on your fridge has Styrofoam insulation. Depending on how frozen the panel is it may be hard to notice at first but if the panel does not want to come off easily keep using the hair dryer to warm the plate and send hot air in between. I accidently tore a small portion of the Styrofoam because it was literally frozen to the plastic wall of the fridge. (Thankfully some super glue put it back together lol). He makes it look easy in the video but it took me about 30 minutes of heating/gentle prying before I was able to get the panel off successfully.

Thanks, man. I have the exact same fridge, and just started having this exact same problem

Thank you soooo much! You saved me so much money. Watched your video, followed along and now fridge is working great!

Thanks so much for this video - fixed my fridge yesterday with your video helping me!

Very clear and simple instructions. I'm going to try this before making a service call. Hope it works for my frig. Thanks!

Thank you, you saved us a technician call and God knows how money. Fridge is cooling perfectly.

Thanks for the video! I just fixed my fridge. You saved me $$$.

This morning I wanted to cry, we had tried everything yesterday to get the fridge working and knowing I couldn’t afford a new one, my last hope was KZfaq, we have a different model Samsung but same set up…..thank you soooooo much from England, we now have a lovely cold fridge, fantastic video!!!!!

This video is nice .you explaned as good as possible and you're right everyone does what they want and they don't have to complain about your video for no reason and I'm glad you don't care about what people say. Thank you for taking your time to teach out extra things

After seeing this video i went to my Samsung fridge and found the same thing. This is why i went to KZfaq, because the fixes on just about everything can be found there. Thank you very much.

You saved me a lot of money today. Thank you sir. May you live to be a thousand years old.

Thanks for the info I just saved myself a few hundred bucks. Thank you again.

Thank you so much! I did all this, but frig still wasn’t cooling. Took the panel with fan off again and noticed that the red wire for fan had snapped. Stripped wire, reinserted and superglued it in. Put panel back in an hour later. Frig was 57 degrees at 8:45. At 11 am back to 38. Hallelujah. 7 year old side-by-side.

Thank you for helping me and my girlfriend save some money! You sir are the MAN!

Thanks for the video we just spent over 400 bucks on food to wake up to a mostly warm fridge this is the first video on my same modle fridge and this was exactly my problem you just saved me a G thank you

I was looking to buy a new fridge since mine was not cooling. I watched your video and removed the covers and found that the fan motor and the coils were iced over. We used the hair dryer to melt the ice and then put it back together and everything works fine. Thank you so much you saved me a lot of money.

I was going to call a technician, but I will attempt this today. Thank you.

This video has helped me sooooo much. I have a Samsung American style fridge freezer, and the fridge number was blinking and food was going off. I took the contents out such as the food and shelves. Then unscrewed the necessary parts and then saw ice in there and used a hairdryer as well. Then once I de-iced the fridge, I replaced everything and it worked. It is slowly getting colder but is works! This video has saved me loads of money! Thank you sooooo much!

Thanks - Yous just saved me a lot of money and kept a freezer full of food from spoiling since a Samsung repair person was not available until after the weekend. I have a split top and bottom drawer unit about 2 years old. Now I am concerned though that, if that is a regular problem with Samsung fridge/freezers, the next time this happens I might not be home and can't trust the equipment. I think I will stay away from Samsung products. I also have nothing but problems with their dishwasher, even though the service people have come out to repair a half a dozen times, it is still not working. Thanks again for the video.
