Louis R Corpus Christi , TX May 14, 2016 Appliance: Samsung Refrigerator RFG293HAWP/XAA-0000 The refrigerator was building up ice on the evaporator to the point that it was interfering with the cooling fan I replaced the temperature sensor, the thermo fuse, and the heating element that thaws the evaporator on a cycle to keep the evaporator from freezing up. The most time consuming part of the repair was waiting for the fridge to thaw out so that I could remove the cover. I disconnected the fridge the night before and placed a fan on low with the doors open so that it was thawed out when I awoke. It was easy to remove the evaporator cover once I removed all of the shelves. I took pics as i was removing everything to make sure I plugged everything back in its correct location. Be careful to straighten any cooling fins that get bent and make sure the shroud around the heating element is back in place closely around the heating element. Hope this helps someone else.

Robert A Baytown , TX January 03, 2017 Appliance: Samsung Refrigerator RFG293HABP/XAA-0000 Ice build up so much it stopped the fan Ordered new temp sensor, fuse and fuse mounting bracket. Tested the resistance thru the heating element first, which was ok. Found no resistance thru fuse, so I replaced fuse, bracket and temp sensor since it was disassembled anyway. Make certain sensor is secure and making good contact. Hardest part was getting ice melted enough to remove the cover. Used a hair drier and a lot of patience.
