How to Troubleshoot & Replace Samsung AP5577767 / DA61-06186B Refrigerator Evaporator Shield With Drain Pan

Repair required removing all of the interior drawers & shelves and the interior back panel. There you will find the defrost heater. Behind the defrost heater is a metal plate as well as one on the back of the front interior cover. Both were corroded and in need of replacement. I ordered Samsung part #’s AP5577767, plate drain & AP5587916, evaporator plate and replaced both. 

I replace the drain plate and I add some aluminum to extend into the drain to ensure it melts the ice blockage into the drain. 

Replaced both plates - evaporator shield with drain and evaporator plate insert. Used your video which helped greatly. Thanks for the video for this repair. Also used aluminum tape for this repair.
