Holly June 16, 2021 for Model Number rf261beaeww/aa In my research it sounded like a replacement drain tube or a drain clip are what I need -- but I haven't seen a drain clip for my model Samsung refrigerator. We're experiencing what others have, with water dripping down into the crispers and bottom of the fridge. Do I just need the replacement drain tube?
Caroleb February 05, 2021 for Model Number SAMSUNG RF20HFENBWW/AA Samsung RF20HFENBWW/AA refrigerator is leaking water into the crispers. This is a known problem for this refrigerator and there are fixes for this using an evaporator clip or drain clip but I cannot find this part for my model. Please advise.
Pita December 11, 2020 for Model Number RF28HMEDBSR/AA-0000 The water dispenser only works when the water filter is not put in place. I've bought new water filters and that did not fix the issue. With the water filter in the water only drips water. Also, the ice maker does not work. I've increased the temperature on both the fridge and freezer but that did not fix either problem. What part(s) need to be replaced?
1 Answer Pita, if there is not a frozen line on the ice maker side, then based on the information provided, the failure would be in the water filter housing assembly DA82-02869A. Read More...
Willie June 12, 2020 for Model Number samsung refrigerator RB216ACRS What is the purpose of this component in my Samsung Refrigerator Cap DA97-04049D? it's not draining properly. Thanks.
1 Answer Willie, the drain tube DA97-04049D is used to prevent the humidity and air from outside of the refrigerator to be able to get into where the evaporator is. The drain tube can clog if dust accumulates in the compressor section. Read More...
Guadalupe May 11, 2020 for Model Number RS261MDPN/XAA A week ago I replace the water valve for my Samsung refrigerator #RS261MDPN end still the same problem building up ice under the freezer drawer.
1 Answer Guadalupe, The water valve would not cause ice build-up under the freezer drawer. This would be caused by a clogged drain. You will need to remove the rear cover in the freezer compartment and clean out the drain, flush it with hot water. Once you have done this you will then pull the unit out and clean the drain tube in the back as there is something that would have gotten in there and clogged the tube. Read More...
Billie May 04, 2020 for Model Number Samsung French Door RFG298HDRS/XAA. My Samsung is pooling water under crisper pan. It will freeze water there and after ice builds up the water run down into freezer. My Samsung is the following model number:RFG298HDRS/XAA. Thanks for any recommended fixes, Billie M
1 Answer Billie, The reason water is pooling is because the defrost drain is clogged and not draining. The rear panel needs to be removed and all ice cleared then replace the drain tube.DA97-04049D Read More...
Calvin G. December 30, 2018 for Model Number RFG298AAWP I have the same situation as Ken L. with my refrigerator freezer with ice building up under the freezer drawer and frosting up. I have taken the two drain tubes off of the bottom back of refrigerator. The right fitting is open but the left hose fitting is plugged or froze-up. How do I remedy this?
1 Answer Calvin, If there is ice at the bottom of the freezer you will want to remove the rear wall in the freezer and clean out any ice that is in the drain trough. Once this is complete then you will need to flush the drain with hot water. This should correct the issue. Read More...
Ken L. June 02, 2017 for Model Number RF268ABRS/XAA-0000 I have ice building up under the freezer drawer. A few weeks ago I removed all the ice. I opened up the back and found that the 2 drain valves were dirty and clogged. I cleaned them out plus I vacuumed out the dust from the coils nearby so that dirt wouldn't build up in the tubes. Well, the same problem came back. I have lots of ice under the freezer drawer. This time the drain tubes did not appear to be clogged. For now, I cut a larger slot in the bottom of the rubber drain valve so that the water would flow better. Will this fix the problem or is there some other cause for the ice build-up under the freezer drawer?
1 Answer Hello Ken, You should clear all of the ice, move the evaporator thermistor from the line it is on to the other Freon line at the top of the evaporator, install a defrost heater 819043, and replace the evaporator cover assembly DA97-06197S. This will normally correct the issue permanently. Read More...
Jack February 15, 2017 for Model Number RFG297AARS/XAA my samsung fridge shuts off every couple days compressor seams to get real hot sometimes makes a popcord sound when it tries to start .fan works for awhile .i put a box fan behind the fridge. If replugging does not work for a day and it starts.water build up under slide out fridge tray.only 6 yrs old
1 Answer Jack, The water collecting under the tray would be caused by a clogged drain line. With the compressor getting extremely hot and shutting down and not restarting but the fans are running then this issue would most likely be caused by a sealed system issue where there is a restriction somewhere. Would want to have a service tech to check the unit. Read More...
Gerald Anglin October 09, 2016 for Model Number RFG297HDWP/XAA Where is the drain assy or tube located. We have Ice building up below the deli compartment.
1 Answer Gerald, If you take the shelving out of the refrigerator compartment and remove the rear wall, the drain will be behind the wall. You can install a heater probe DA61-14306A to help keep this drain from freezing. Read More...
