During normal use, I found the drawer pulls out so far and then stops. But with a little extra force the drawer will actually pull even further out. I suspect this may be what's going on in your case.

Hi alenagoddess2400, thanks for providing your comments. This channel is about saving both time and money, please share your thoughts on an easier method for fixing the Samsung water dispenser.

They do have their issues.

Glad it was helpful!

Oh forgot to add the paddle makes the clicking sound when pressed and again when released, so it sounds like it should be stopping the water flow but isn't.

The switch at the paddle is just an electrical switch which sends current to the water valve solenoid. It sounds like you have a similar issue where the solenoid valve is sticking. But instead of sticking closed it's sticking open. Since you have a different refrigerator, you'll need to find where the water valve solenoid is. Samsung doesn't always put them inside the water filter assembly. You can find the diagram online by searching for "Samsung rfg297hdrs/xaa schematic diagram". I hope this helps you get your fridge dispenser working properly again.

@DIY-Saver Thanks for your reply. For the time being, I've found that quickly pressing the ice button and depressing the paddle on/off is a work around for stopping the water flow. I already replaced the evaporator motor and temp sensor myself but if my fridge has the solenoid in the filter module as it does in yours (your fridge looks very similar to mine and has those caps atop both fridge doors like yours) am not sure I'm up to doing that repair myself. Am quite sure a repair person won't be cheap for that extensive of a repair either, though, so I've bookmarked your video for future reference.

Glad you liked it!

That wasn't the case with my refrigerator. I did have an issue where a drain line was freezing and water collected at the bottom of the fridge. I solved that issue by turning the temp up from 35 to 39.

@ thank you! This refrigerator has been the biggest pain. I have ice building up and hitting the fan. I did install supplemental defrost. But that hasn’t solved the issue. The drain was apparently clogged. Cleaned that completely out and replaced hoses. Still icing. So back at it I go.

Hi EricSchwartz-sk8id, thank you for your advice. I do see a lot of professionals recommend using the screws for securing the wire connections.

Glad to help, thanks for visiting my channel! ☺️

Hi carlettotalks, here's the link to the part. amzn.to/3UhkOFG

Hi chuckhortler2814, great feedback. Thanks!

You're welcome. I'm glad it was helpful. Thanks for visiting my channel.

Hi ShaNya-hz3vk, Assuming the water line is connected and turned on, and the ice makers are enable, it's not clear what the issue may be. I suggest watching the videos on my channel and if none of them appear to be the issue then you may want to contact an appliance repair man.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'm going to have to find another source for these jars since Costco has replace jars with bags for their nuts. That's just nuts. 😂

Thanks, I spend a lot of time on my videos to keep them on point and eliminate repetitive steps. My goal is to keep the video as short as possible so I'm not wasting my viewer's time. Thanks for watching.

Hi barotraumabruce4245, You're welcome and I'm glad you found my videos useful. Thanks for subscribing!

You're very welcome! I hope it helped.

I'm happy to hear my video was helpful. Take a look a my channel and you'll see a video which may help get your upper ice maker working again too.

Hi Dave30867, thanks for sharing. I suggest using caution with chlorine, my wife did something similar with chorine in the sink and then the drain collar stared rusting because the chlorine deteriorated the protective finish on the metal.

You're welcome! I hope all worked out for you.

You're welcome, I hope you found my video helpful. 😊

Hi Jazziez6467, I'm sorry to hear your paint has dried up. What type, or brand, of jar did you use? I used Costco nut jars and even an M&M jar. I just checked the very first jar I transferred paint to, 2+ years old, and there is no solidified paint on the surface. Also, what type of paint did you put in it? So far, I've only put latex paint in my jars. I'm not sure I'd try this method with oil base paint since I don't know if the jars are rated for solvents.

@DIY-Saver latex paint

yep. you're gonna have to check it every few months for each type of jar you use. possibly put saran wrap under the lid.

I just tried to repaired it and now the light button works and main power work. The fan one will turn off the fan but turn it on.

Hi MaddieBreager, I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with your installation. Keep in mind with electrical connections it's important to connect the wires correctly. Improper connections could damage the unit. That's why I showed how to use the tester to insure correct connections.

This switch does operate on radio wave and depending on how far away the fan is, it may struggle to properly turn on/off the light/fan. I've noticed with mine that every once in awhile I'll have to push the button a second time. It's been the same with the remote which came with the fan. I recommend contacting Hunter support (support.hunterfan.com) if you continue to have issues. I've found their support to be very responsive. Thanks for watching my video and I wish you the best with your project.

Hi georgejetson4378, I was just demonstrating that rust falls of while stirring and painting. If you pay close attention in the next scene, the rust is gone when I start stirring. That's because I scooped it off the top prior to stirring. In no way was I suggesting to scrape rust into your paint prior to stirring. Thanks for watching my video and posting your comment. I wish you the best with your projects.

You're welcome! I'm glad it helped.

LOL - you can always request to be buried in your Samsung fridge. 🤣

LOL - Better Fridge or fix?

Hi DanielMaxwell, I agree too many issues with these units. Please keep in mind that I'm not an Appliance Technician. With that said, I just googled your model "Samsung rf25hmedbsg Water Inlet Valve" and it appears the valve is not inside the filter assembly housing. You may want to lookup a schematic diagram for your model to locate where the valve is. Then you can order the valve and replace it. Keep in mind there are other possible problem areas like the switch could be bad or the fridge control panel could be bad. What convinced me that my valve was stuck was I could hear it buzzing while trying to get water. That would mean both the switch and control panel are still good since it was able to send an electric current to the valve. Sorry to hear you're still having issues. I hope this helps.

Keep in mind that I'm not an appliance technician and I haven't experience that issue. But, I believe it could be an issue with your auger motor assembly or possibly the control panel itself. I'm not sure how one could determine where the problem is. But, if you'd like to replace the auger motor assembly to see if it corrects the issue, you can watch my video kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5qrlZKnq9amb68 where I replace both the ice maker and the auger motor assembly (note: this may correct frost build-up issues as well). If you don't want to take the chance with replacing a part and finding out it wasn't the issue, then you may want to consider contacting an appliance service company. Thanks for visiting my channel and I hope this helps.

You're welcome. 👍

Hi GoneRaiding, it seems counter intuitive, but yes, you still need to install the batteries. It's hard wired for the on/off master switch. Think of it as a remote recessed in the wall. One would think they would add a transformer to power the remote. Maybe there isn't room in the electrical box for both a transformer and all the remote functions/switches.

Excellent, I'm glad my video helped and are enjoying cold beverages again. 😀

Hi lainaxoxo5633, just to clarify a couple things, your fan may not be compatible if it has pull chains and didn’t come with a remote or if the fan is an older model and the remote has a 9-volt battery. I see the only troubleshooting step in the manual is to “Make sure the battery is installed correctly.” Also, keep in mind that the bottom button on the wall control is a “Master Power” switch and nothing will work if it’s turned off. I would try the pairing step one more time. First turn the power off for 20 seconds. Within three minutes of turning the power back on, “long press” the fan and light buttons on the wall control. I suggest contacting Hunter support if you are still having issues ( support.hunterfan.com/hc/en-us ). I hope these suggestions help.

it’s pretty brutal that it uses AA batteries. Why? Why does it even get main power then?

You're very welcome. I hope your project goes well.

Hi toxicavengerrr, thanks for your response. Sorry, I haven't looked into trying alternative batteries. Please leave a comment for other viewers if you find a compatible replacement.

@@DIY-Saver I did it, I replaced the battery and put the one that my Joystick had, is working, I intended to keep using those headset to see how much they last without charging them, (I used to charge that Redragon Joystick like once a month)

Right, 3 years isn't that old, it sounds like it's an issue other than the float getting stuck. I hope it's something simple.

@@DIY-Saver Mine is super clean. I tried the following: - Tested outside and obviously the water rushing out - Using the compressor to blow the air through the outlet coil and the air comes out at the other end so most likely it's not clogged. - Plugging it back w or w/o the rubber, the pump turns on and I do see the water going through the clear plastic portion (only about 6" then it connects to the copper tube) but it doesn't come out to the outside of the house. I tested a day before and it comes out a little bit at some point. I am guessing the pump is not strong enough to push it through the 7' or 7.5' going up to the attic but not sure if it was a partial clogged coil or the pump itself. One would think that the coil is new when they install the whole brand new system including duct and duct registers.

LOL - It's time to contact your landlord if you believe it needs it.

Thanks, I hope it was helpful!

Yes, there does seem to be some issues with these units. Hopefully my videos help get things working again.

You're so welcome!

Good question!!! My contractor didn't connect the overflow switch feature to my furnace. I haven't investigated installing it myself either. Since I live in Michigan and go south in the winter, I'm concerned with the overflow protection shutting the furnace down and causing my water pipes to freeze. Instead I've added Govee water sensors which send my phone an alert if water is detected on the floor next to the condensate pump. I'm considering placing the condensate pump inside a tray with the water sensor to provide more time to fix the overflow before it reaches other areas and causes damage.

@@DIY-Saver Got it, good answer :-). Our heater, Carrier, has an app that tells me when the heater is offline. Not failproof, but similar and also didn't catch this was a furnace, not HVAC.

Thanks, I'm glad you found it helpful.

You're welcome. I see some paint brands are now in plastic cans, so we may not need this in the future. :)

LOL - The pump or the sludge inside?

@TheStormey LOL, I'm glad you found it too. This method works great for bagged ice as well. Enjoy your hash browns!

You're welcome. I'm glad you found the video helpful.

@senecapierson9092 I recall mine being harder to turn on/off, so I loosened it a bit. You don't want to loosen it too much, or it may leak.

@@DIY-Saver Thanks. I tried loosening it a little, but did not make any change. With the cartridge outside of the unit, when I hold the metal bit and then go to turn/spin the plastic end of the body, the old one was pretty easy to turn. The new one was pretty hard to turn. I called Delta back and they are sending me a new one. This one was a replacement for the original, which they sent that with a new sprayer and hose itself, due to white floating particles we were getting with just this 1 faucet (pex plumbing for the whole house, and I have whole house filters, and no other faucet in the house had that issue). Luckily it fixed the issue, but takes much more force. So guess were assuming that the cartridge sent was just defective; hopefully the replacement for this replacement will be good lol

Thanks for your feedback. Can you share the name of the product to help other viewers?

Do you need to turn off the unit prior to replacing??

@amydurkin5704 I would, mostly for convenience, so you won't have all the noise and hot air from the unit

It's my pleasure; I hope it helps.

First I put it back together, then I connected the power and added water until the pump ran to confirm that it was working properly. You may have to replace the pump if doesn't run after adding water to the point where the reservoir is completely full .

@@DIY-Saver yup that was the problem it would kick on when it was completely full. I've replaced it and all is good. Thank you for all your help 😊

​@michaelgriego6882 I'm somewhat comfused. so you replace the entire pump even tho it kicked on after it was filled with water.

@damontslay3582 Good point. I think he meant to say, "It wouldn't kick on."

Either or. You can test it with water. But you dont have to fill it.
