only 3 years old, ice maker & evaporator fan issues. Model: RF28HMEDBSR/AA. I called Samsung support...They will not help me. I fixed it with a hair dryer!
I used a smart-plug and programmed it to turn off my refrigerator for 1hr everyday between 1-2am. I tried every damn DIY fix for this problem but only smart-plug method fixed this issue permanently. No more fan noise or ice buildup for me for past 6 months. Food stays just fine and it save electricity too. Defrost all ice before starting this method. Thank me later ! 😊
@Sarnt_Eskie update, I purchased a new evaporator cover assembly due to the previous one being damaged and leaking cold air in places where it shouldn't. Hence, freezing creating an ice wall. And It fixed the problem. 5 weeks have passed, and the refrigerator is cold and functional
I always said Samsung should just stick to making cell phones and keep out the Appliance Market. I sell appliances and always keep customers away from purchasing Samasung Appliances. Garbage even with the bells, whistles, and smoke and mirrors. Stick to Maytag, GE, Whirlpool, and Kenmore.
I am having the same problem. My warranty just ran out. I have had so much problem with this Samsung refrigerator. They said I have to get it repaired on my own eve though it is a flaw.
I think my thermostat is bad. Happened twice this week. The temps show normal but, its noticeably warmer. Unplug then plug back in it shows freezer temp almost 40f and fridge temp almost 60. Then temp starts to go down
We have had the repair guy come out twice for the same reason. Samsung is a ripe off!! Now our refrigerator is flashing 2 a. I had it 2 years we shouldn’t have no problem with this expensive refrigerator. It should be some type of recall!!
Forget about the refund unless it’s under warranty. Get in on a class action suit you might get a few hundred back. Or repair it yourself. There are tons of videos showing how. Yeah it sucks and shouldn’t be this way. So rant about it..then what?
Everything I own is samsung I've always only trusted there products frodge,8 tvs ,3 phones, laptop,oven,microwave ect.. I'm thinking about switching the garbage that's being made these days is built to be rebought its ridiculous
I’ve learned to never buy anything Samsung… They need to stick with television! Period! And even those are getting horrible too. They sucks! My brand new refrigerator lasted 6 months .
We have had service for this problem. He used insulation on the outside. NEVER ONCE DID HE TAKE THE BACK OFF INSIDE THE FRIG. we didnt have to pay but thos is ridiculous
Same thing with our refrigerator, total BS! Samsung could easily make a longer defrost element…but that doesn’t sell new refrigerators…as if someone were stupid enough to do it again!
You want a refund 😂, your the consumer , and you demand, so consumer demand makes companies build things fast with not much dedication or time to fully test them , leading to poor designs like this, because you demand, so what can we do, nothing but live with it , such is life
Garbage company. Will never and I mean ever look their way for a dang thing. My grandparents gifted me several appliances from them and I can’t wait to finally remove them, might even take a sledgehammer to them due to all the frustrations they have all caused me for 3 years now.
Samsung is just the worst for customer service! We were driven to tears by their ineptitude. We jumped through their hoops over this POS refrigerator only to have to fix it ourselves. Appliance repair services won't even work on their junk. Samsung gave us less than retail as a refund. We spent $75 for a new control board and voile' their crap product finally worked. Never buy Samsung!
@@malachiashley528 You read it right; you 'can' fix it and get a refund. Samsung did not want the unit back. We fixed it ourselves 'and' got the refund.
Samsung is the worst, I would never buy any Samsung appliances again, it's a nightmare to get any support., just wasting your time and energy for nothing
I'm not an engineer and I'm having the same problem like everyone. I know exactly what the problem is. Pull the top off & block of ice stopping fan. So I'm thinking the heating element is gone & fan. Got a fan because of the stress put on motor not moving while told to by system. NOT good on Electric motor not moving while Electric current asking it to. Got the heating element to thinking thats the issue. But while I was in heard it melting ice. The issue is thecooling line coming in the top. Its not close enough to the heating element to melt the ice off. And over time that ice is going to build up until it stops the fan. It took 4yrs but how come I see the problem & they don't. I spent 51$ total for both fAN AND heating element off Amazon
I know it makes no difference to this company but I have avoided buying anything Samsung makes due to this lousy refrigerator. I just wished a lawyer would put together a class action suit.

Where did u buy the plug ?
That's thinking outside the box, so to speak. Different approach, but it sounds like a feasible fix, well done. 👍
Thanks bud !! Using your method now 😊
@@nino5988 how did it go?
@@cl2hanovastar works great now ! Haven’t had an issue since . Thanks so much buddy !
We all want a refund!
lol no you dont
So when are you going to start this law suit? I’m done with constantly defrosting this damn fridge!
Same issue here😢
We are all having the same problem. I have to defrost this fridge every 2-3 weeks 😂
I have been a samsung guy.
When it comes to appliances!!!!, please do not buy them!!!!!!!!!
My samsung refrigerator has been doing this for years.
@Sarnt_Eskie update, I purchased a new evaporator cover assembly due to the previous one being damaged and leaking cold air in places where it shouldn't. Hence, freezing creating an ice wall. And It fixed the problem. 5 weeks have passed, and the refrigerator is cold and functional
So are we living with this ? 😭 I have to drefost the d@amn thing every couple of weeks
a major recall needs to be done
Full rebuilds including circuits boards don’t even fix them. Mike is broken for a third time.
@@calm9447 fixed mine. need to add a heating element
If there’s a law suit. Let me know. I have to defrost every month. It sucks
Yes!!!! Oh my gosh mine keeps doing this. I didn't spend all that money to have to take apart my fridge constantly to unfreezenit
I have same problem, did you get it fix under warranty? Want my money back if they don't fix it for free!
I always said Samsung should just stick to making cell phones and keep out the Appliance Market. I sell appliances and always keep customers away from purchasing Samasung Appliances. Garbage even with the bells, whistles, and smoke and mirrors. Stick to Maytag, GE, Whirlpool, and Kenmore.
GE is made by eithet Samsung or Haier.
Kenmore is made by Samsung or Daewoo. So can't escape Sammy lol
I’m battling my fridge too!
Same problem... They recommended to just buy a new one. Most parts are back order for yrs
Shit fucking sucks... ice maker stopped working almost immediately
U can message them and they’ll come put in a new one for free
What is causing that cause mine is the same. And how do we fix the problem??
Just remove the white insulation stuck to the cover and you’ll b golden 😊
same here. Did it work after you defrosted it
this happens to so many fridges not just samsung
I am having the same problem. My warranty just ran out. I have had so much problem with this Samsung refrigerator. They said I have to get it repaired on my own eve though it is a flaw.
My freezer and ice maker stopped working. I have to throw away a whole freezer worth of food.
What did you do to get it fixed
Same!
They make them to break so I have to buy another one why did all the refrigerators last for 30 years and new ones barely make it to 10
This is huge problem with @Samsung
Did you fix the problem?
Same problem here
Same problem everywhere with that samsung crap.
😂😂 can’t figure out how to put it in forced defrost?
My ge is the exact same layout with the exact same issue.
I have the same problem
How to fix this . I am sick and tired of defrosting the fridge every other week .
I want a refund too
I do the same thing every 3 months. I put it in defrost but only the bottom part clears Mine looks just like yours 😢
Same
Samsung need to go bankrupt and jus never make a refrigerator if they ain’t gone make it right
I think my thermostat is bad. Happened twice this week. The temps show normal but, its noticeably warmer. Unplug then plug back in it shows freezer temp almost 40f and fridge temp almost 60. Then temp starts to go down
Same every few months
Same issue with my freeze 😢😢
No entry for Samsung product!!
We going threw the same thing right now.
good learning maybe you can make a business out of it
I’m struggling with my ice maker at the moment… ughhhh
defective defrost sensor
No defrost wire up at the top part
It’s that metal clip at the bottom, I have replaced that piece and now it is defrosting.
We are all on the same page
We live and we learn right? Im never buying samsung again.
Worst refrigerator ever made. They should all be recalled. And some one should go to jail
I have one , I have to take it apart every 4 month and defrost it,
My fridge is doing the same thing right now
Want to get refund too
Fooooreal alwaze having issues bro wit mines
Same problem no help
Mine lasted 4 years. Just got GE instead
good thinking, but thats ridiculous
We have had the repair guy come out twice for the same reason. Samsung is a ripe off!! Now our refrigerator is flashing 2 a. I had it 2 years we shouldn’t have no problem with this expensive refrigerator. It should be some type of recall!!
How are they getting away with this! I’ve been trying to figure out a way to permanently fix mine for 3 years. Horrible product.
We defrost ours about every 3 months!!
So that's what happens
Forget about the refund unless it’s under warranty. Get in on a class action suit you might get a few hundred back. Or repair it yourself. There are tons of videos showing how. Yeah it sucks and shouldn’t be this way. So rant about it..then what?
Where are the videos???
I do appliance repair in the dfw if anybody needs me
Everything I own is samsung I've always only trusted there products frodge,8 tvs ,3 phones, laptop,oven,microwave ect.. I'm thinking about switching the garbage that's being made these days is built to be rebought its ridiculous
I’ve been defrost in the fridge once a week for the past year sick of it
Same as me😂. I have enough and will never buy fk Samsung products in future.
Does that get rid of the ice build up?
I’ve learned to never buy anything Samsung… They need to stick with television! Period! And even those are getting horrible too. They sucks! My brand new refrigerator lasted 6 months .
We want our money back
We have had service for this problem. He used insulation on the outside. NEVER ONCE DID HE TAKE THE BACK OFF INSIDE THE FRIG. we didnt have to pay but thos is ridiculous
Worst refrigerator ever. I will never buy an appliance from them
Change defrost sensor and stick to samsung phones
I have to do this about once every year. Then melt the ice block with blow dryer. I will not buy another Samsung
Nice! Many of us have to do this every month.
@@mofrekinfoetry every week
I will not purchase any Samsung at all. Any appliances date or a piece of s*** Insurance even acknowledge that or give me credit for it
Did anyone ever got this shit fixed? This is driving me nuts once a month I’m dealing with this
It is disgraceful for a company to make such defected product and sell it with unreasonable price with false advertisement
Same thing with our refrigerator, total BS! Samsung could easily make a longer defrost element…but that doesn’t sell new refrigerators…as if someone were stupid enough to do it again!
I want a refund too!!!
Samsung freezer sucks don’t but it is trash,
It has a defrost setting that'll melt that off
Where is that setting at
No it doesn’t. I know that fridge inside and out. Rubbbbbish
Call me I can fix it

This makes no sense. Did you fix it or not? you can't both fix it and get a refund lol

I paid more for samsung and ended up with garbage
Garbage fridge!
Such a shame you Samsung
Well you voided your warranty by messing with it so stop with all that noise with “I want a refund”
Everyone thinks that Samsung is great 😂 but they are junk Samsung used to have really good stuff years ago but not anymore they outsource everything
Samsung is the worst, I would never buy any Samsung appliances again, it's a nightmare to get any support., just wasting your time and energy for nothing
Samsung appliances suck. Worst purchase I ever made. I’ll stick with Whirlpool and GE
When are they going to give our money back on this useless garbage
