You sir deserve an award for helping us fix an issue created and ignored by Samsung. I’ve been manually defrosting this fridge for a while now and would have never found the force defrost most on my own. Thank you for your help.
Thank you! I’m a refrigeration mechanic and the last thing I want to do at home is work on my fridge. I just decided to You Tube this and you helped a lot
THANK YOU for posting this! This fridge has been a nightmare for me - the horrible icemaker, the horrible documentation/no support, let alone they removed software that I used without asking... I will NEVER buy Samsung again - but a BIG THANK YOU for posted this as I spent SO many hours trying to find this!
Thank you so much! I couldn't for the LIFE OF ME find the force defrost button. I made the biggest mistake buying Samsung Appliances, I bought the top of the line in 2016, Ive had the repairman out for the washer and dryer twice and had to replace the $1300 washer, my dishwasher has been replaced and at this point I will do my best to keep these flashy computer junk boxes alive until I eventually have to replace them all. These "Smart" Appliances mean that they know exactly how long to last before they're no longer warrantied.
Thank you so much! I’ve heard a lot of bad things about these Samsung fridges but not until after I purchased mine. So far it hasn’t been too bad yet. Will keep the fingers crossed!
Thank you so much. Every so many months I've been having to defrost this thing manually... gingerly blowing a heat gun in and items and removing chunks from the top of the unit. I'm glad I got this fridge for free. I like the fridge, but it's pretty darn sad that in the year 2017 (model) you can't have a remotely reliable icemaker on a top of the consumer line refrigerator. I like the weather, and Pandora. That's about it. Keep food cold, and freezer works well. That's it. It should be at least 4 inches taller, IMHO. Thank you for posting! Much needed video!
Such a useful video. Thank you for posting. My ice maker is now working again. I’ve saved your video because I’m sure I am going to have to refer to it again. Best wishes and many thanks.
Thank you soo much, I didn’t even know this was possible to fix and that I had to call a mechanic. Been with ice for more than a year T-T. Thank you so much 😊 🙏
Thanks for posting this. We have had constant issues with ours as well. The ice maker/ water dispenser light has been going out, and now we only get crushed ice to come out. I am hoping this reset might help with that. I don't expect it to help with the constant dripping water that leaks out. Oh, how I love this refrigerator!!!
my defrost was a tiny bit different but I was able to figure it out thanks to you. would not let me do the re-set button but I had done it earlier in the day. mine also automatically shut off when it was completely defrosted. I will try the reset button tomorrow. No ice yet......
Do you have an update as how to enter the engineer maintenance mode ? This process did work but after the last update it fails to work now. Help Please.
I'm terribly sorry but we moved last year and made ABSOLUTELY SURE that the fridge stayed with the house when we sold it. I hated that fridge so much that our household has sworn off all Samsung appliances forever. Our new home has none, and never will.
On mine if you hit Load Status after the Forced defrost it does say it is heating the fridge, freezer and ice maker, so I chickened out and cancelled it.
Please ask your children to go into another room if you’re taping. Their background talking made you’re video harder to work with. But it did work great🙂

Thanks for posting. This video was the only one I found that showed how to activate the force defrost function.

So my fan stopped spinning and it's froze up in the back should I hit the other one also should I remove the food out of the refrigerator ?
Very informative Thanks for making this video!
Glad to find this gem.

Dumb question. With this also defrost the freezer drawer?
On mine if you hit Load Status after the Forced defrost it does say it is heating the fridge, freezer and ice maker, so I chickened out and cancelled it.
I asked a repair guy about mine, he siad the only way to keep these from frosting up was to not buy a Samsung refrigerator.
Thank you very much.
How long do you let it run In defrost mode?
Thanks Jack
This video is very helpful. I thank you!
thanks
