  • Got to hate when your fridge freezes over and you can't cool your food. We notice we had an issue when the fan in the fridge was making a lot of noise. When the fan suddenly stopped making noise we thought it fixed its self, well we were wrong. The fan actually stopped moving causing the temperature in the fridge to rise up to 70F.
    Now we go over how to defrost your fridge and how to prevent the fridge from freezing up in the future. The refrigerator we are defrosting is a Samsung. While the steps would be the same for most refrigerator, the forced defrost and the disassembly will not.
    Tools You Need To Defrost A Fridge
    You really only need a few simple tools to defrost a fridge. You will need a Philips Head Screwdriver, we used an impact driver. Also need a small Flat Head Screwdriver, but anything flat can be used to pry off a small screw cover will work. Lastly you will need a Hair Dryer or Heat Gun, if your are using a Heat Gun watch out that you don't damage your fridge.

      That's great. We did have to do this a few times. The ice system is the issue.

      Thank you! This is a common problem. The defrost coil doesn't go high enough in these, and it freezes the fan. Was going to do a permanent fix, but we moved to a boat faster than planned.

      Ran rd mode about 4 or 5 times and then reset to normal operation and temp of 38 F,,,,
      Yes,,,, it worked 😀
      If recurrent problem, then I will take off the panel ,,,,,I feel very confident having your video as a resource,,,
      Thank you and your wife so much for the wonderful video content,,,,,

      Thank you, we love that things we produce help others. We wish you and yours the best, hope that you don't have to do this that often. We probably did this around 3 times a year, but it is very humid in Florida.

    THANK YOU SO MUCH! We have the exact same fridge.
    Our problem is water pooling under the fridge bottom tray.
    Any suggestions? Water is pooling under the defrost unit and not draining down to the drip pan.
    Thamks SO MUCH!

    • @ChrisDoesWhat

      It could be the drains are clogged our the metal tray is not directing the water to the drains. You have to pull the panel off like we did to see this

    Great Video, very informative!!! We have also had our share of problems with Samsung refrigerators.

    • @ChrisDoesWhat
      @ChrisDoesWhat  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thank you! Don't think we would get this brand again. Our biggest grip is how loud it is, have to turn it off for recipe videos.

  • @lauralewis557
    @lauralewis557 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Great video Great video. We have had this problem since buying the Samsung. Fixed under warranty twice. Now they refuse to fix it. 😢.
    I can’t get the power defrost on. Still trying to defrost it. Freezer works. Fan doesn’t work. Not cooling. Quoted repair is $750. Never buy Samsung

    • @ChrisDoesWhat
      @ChrisDoesWhat  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hope you get it sorted, and we would not buy another Samsung either. You can force defrost, is yours the same as ours?

    • @chrisgoode1578

      Our washer, dishwasher, dryer, stove, and fridge are all samsung and they all have issues. Slowly replacing with may tag

    • @ChrisDoesWhat
      @ChrisDoesWhat  ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, don't think we will ever go with this brand again, but moving to a boat, so these won't be an option.

  • @daviddipalma1671

    I am having trouble getting the cover removed. All the clips are out but the top section isn’t budging. Could it be iced/frozen in place?

    • @ChrisDoesWhat
      @ChrisDoesWhat  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      We had to go through the defrost process, and then you may have to shut the fridge off for a bit. Ours was stuck with ice.

    How bad did ur fridge get because mine is so bad that all the holes are filled with ice and where the metal thing is the shelves hook on to fills with ice I actually had to kill the power to it for 3 and a half days to thaw it out and here now it is right back to full of ice again and I live in Pennsylvania wasn't like that all summer as soon as I had to put the heat on it started freezing up

    • @ChrisDoesWhat
      @ChrisDoesWhat  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Ours never got this bad, but now that we live on a boat ice clogs our fridge in about a week. At our house i could use the AC to keep the humidity down to at 45% which really slowed down ice forming.

    • @jaimehagenbach3004
      @jaimehagenbach3004 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      We just took the steps that you showed and when we removed the panel ong it was so iced up I have never seen one like this ever now we r just waiting it is like the drain is still frozen where the fins behind that panel are at so don't know how long that will take to thaw out never in my life have I ever had a fridge freeze up like this

    • @jaimehagenbach3004
      @jaimehagenbach3004 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I live in Pa and it is November and didn't have this problem till I believe it was September this year and I have had this fridge a few yrs now and the only thing that is different is the last 2 to 3 yrs we have had the water hooked up where for all the yrs before that it never was I was renting before and the landlord would not let me hook it up but now I am buying and I wanted it hooked up

    My Samsung came with my house when I bought it in 2020. I will never buy another one - I’ve had to defrost multiple times and it’s a real pain to do.

    • @ChrisDoesWhat
      @ChrisDoesWhat  8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yes it is. Don't think we will either when we buy another house. Can say it doesn't frost up as much as a boat freeze which we have now.

  • @dinokath

    Had the same problem for years. Same fridge. Won't ever buy a Samsung again. Hated that fridge. Lowe's wound up giving us a full refund after 3 years

    • @ChrisDoesWhat

      Guessing it's preparing us for dealing with a fridge on a sailboat.

    I have a 3 year old Samsung refrigerator. It froze up for the first time. I'll never buy another one. I remember when refrigerators use to last 20+ years without service. Hahahaha, they're made to fail now.

    • @ChrisDoesWhat
      @ChrisDoesWhat  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yep, build quality has gone down over time.
