I had this issue with my Samsung fridge. The fridge wasnt cooling anymore as it should. I noticed the holes in the back panel had ice in it and it wasnt allowing the cool air to circulate. Based on your video i tried this blow dryer trick and it thankfully worked! I appreciate the info. My next fridge will definitely not be a Samsung. They need to stick to televisions. *****UPDATE ****** This trick only temporarily helped me. A week later it was frozen again. This time I ordered the thermistor that your commenters suggested be replaced and so far it seems to be ok. I will be back with another update as soon as I can secure this victory over my fridge.

I hope this method works for you longer than it did for us. I kept doing that trick but we finally decided to replace the refrigerator. Unfortunately, we had to replace our Samsung TV with an LG. Once we replace the microwave, the range and the dishwasher, we will be Samsung free.

This is a really informative video! Thanks for posting it!!

[@j2review]

You're welcome! Appreciate your words!

My guy, replace the Thermistor! I was having to do the same thing every 6 months. After putting in the part I've had zero problems in almost 2 years. It's between $10 and $15 bucks on Amzon.

I wish I had tried this but we had to move on. The new GE we replaced it with makes a lot of weird noises, so we'll see how it goes...

[@mikespence7250]

@@j2review The new stuff they make today is such crap! Good luck too you.

[@mikedavis8114]

Maybe I'm a few years behind on technology with refrigerators but what the hell is a thermistor?

[@annhayden955]

Using a blow dryer is not recommended it ruins the Styrofoam. What needed to be done was add a secondary defrost heater line.

[@Crownme1rst]

It comes back within a week and a half,,

[@j2review]

Yes, it does. Seems to get worse the more you thaw it out, so I just replaced the refrigerator. No more Samsung for me.

[@mrdavis2928]

I broke my Styrofoam....I may need to buy another refrigerator 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@j2review]

Sorry to hear this! I had to replace mine too.

[@suek6466]

You can replace the inverter panel. You don't have to replace the fridge. Check for the part online - looks like it's not too expensive.
