Thanks you for sharing. Your video give me more information and guide me solved the Samsung ice build up issue. Looks like professional. Thank you so much!

I have a similar frig but my problem is the drain hole getting blocked by ice. I´ve seen the diy copper wire solution but my unit have a lamp for the defrost function and by that the wire solution doesent works. I was thinking on instal a mod like the one you show!

tapping into the brown and adding a heater is the fix for this issue

Well, did it work this time?

[@SqueetoNa]

So far it is working.

[@freemanhsu5896]

@@SqueetoNaThank you, you did a great job, and its nice to know that your Samsung refrigerator is back with your modifications. I have been searching for the answers for this problem.

Won't work if your temp sensor is bad. Replace defrost sensor and temp sensor. Works almost every time. Secondary heater is not necessary.

[@freemanhsu5896]

Thanks for your technical information. I found that Amazon carries some special package for Samsung refrigerator. This is the on-going problems of Samsung, and a huge market for the repair technicians and the replacement parts as well.

@@timothyjoe1089 Like freemanhsu5896 says, these Samsung refrigerators have issues even with components working. The secondary heater is a needed addition to this fridge.

Don't by samsung products unless it's a phone.
