I had been wrestling with trying to clean wayward food particles out of the front of these Samsung drawers for a month now. I had the hubby do the disassembly following your video instructions. As others have experienced, one side of the drawer cracked at the bottom but not enough to warrant replacing. After cleaning, the re-assembly was a snap. To prevent the need of disassembling these ridiculously designed drawers, we are going to permanently seal the entire crevice with a clear acrylic caulk. Thank you for posting your video. It was enormously helpful.

Also do not push all the way in step two as you will end up breaking either the bottom of the drawer or the front panel. Instead, press on the tab on each side and push front panel away from the drawer. Once the bottom is released, rotate the front panel and it will come off.

Thanks for taking the time to put the video online. I tried the method in the video, but could not get the door tabs to click out. I also tried hot water without success and managed to crack a little area. I gave up with the screwdriver and thought about it a bit. Finally decided to use my AIR COMPRESSOR. Took a few minutes, but if you direct the compressed air in the area where she puts the screwdriver and run it all around the seams, eventually it will blow all the debris out. Sweet. It worked a treat looks and looks better now. I guess for spilt milk and maybe liquid mess that gets gathered in there then soak in hot water first then blow it out with a compressor - should work fine. Good luck!

Thank you for this video I am so glad to finally get this clean. There are some lessons (thanks to some of the comments below too): 1. The top strip comes off fairly easily, but I had a tiny piece break. Don't stick the screwdriver in too far. 2. Before taking off the front panel use a hairdryer to warm up the plastic, in particular the plastic in the bottom corners where the 'tabs' are. 3. Continuing on the front panel, you will find one side is much harder (ie. "impossible") to dislodge. Don't "stress" the plastic and damage it, go to the other side. 4. In learning the above I did lose a couple of small pieces of plastic, but nothing affecting functionality or the cosmetics. If you follow the video with the above in mind you may get through undamaged! I finally have clean drawers :)

@christiemadsen6174 жыл бұрын
@@WRLAustralia It took 3 tries for my ice maker to work well. Samsung has recently come up with a new computer board to help reset the entire ice maker to keep from freezing up. Because I was under warranty it didn't cost me anything and I'm glad of that. I haven't had any problems, knock on wood, since that board was installed aprox. 5 months ago. All previous attempts to replace the ice maker were only temporarily fixed and the problems would start up again (leaking water when the ice dispenser was utilized and then freeing up in the unit itself). If you continue to have problems I would hope you could recommend to your Samsung repair person a new computer board, if they haven't offered that option already.
@mangosorbet26194 жыл бұрын
I've found it useful after you pull the ice drawer out to use mugs of boiling hot water inside the ice compartment to melt the ice. You just have to line the plastic with a towel so it doesn't melt the plastic and replenish the mugs frequently with new hot water to melt it. It works even with the fridge doors closed. Hope it's useful! It's not a preventative measure but at least you can use it again.

At least, seeing this video, I was confident that it does come apart. Broke off a corner of the bottom piece (where the tab is), but super-glued it back. I do not think the gap is functional, so I cello taped it closed--even the sides going up the drawer. I never want to take the chance of anything getting in there again. I agree that the entire design team should be fired! Thank you so much for posting this.

Thank You so much. I had somehow gotten pieces of shredded cheese stuck in the front pocket of one of my drawers. Realizing it was impossible to clean (after 24 hours of soaking and rinsing) I thought it would be there indefinitely. I could see the openings on either side of the drawers but did not know how to get it open. It took a lot of effort for me to get the white piece off and I had to slide a larger flathead screwdriver up underneath the lip to allow me to completely get it off. Then I actually cracked one side of the drawer a little bit (at the bottom) while trying to pop the bottom off. But most importantly I cleaned it and got the cheese out ! Thank You for the video, just be careful when popping the bottom off so you do not crack it like I did.

Thank you for this easy demonstration. I’ve been trying to figure it out actually for years. Thanks again!

Just completed the dissemble, cleaning and reassembly as instructed. Unfortunately as with many comments, one side came apart as instructed, while the other side broke. It caused a small piece to pop out that I think is large enough that it will be a candidate for crazy glue to put back in place...I think as most that "perhaps" the key is too warm the plastic drawer first before trying to take it apart? Makes sense. Anyway, thanks for the help in giving us most of the method to take it apart. My wife is delighted to be able to clean the bottom of the compartment....mostly pepper seeds! Bye the way I agree, Samsung products are attractive but have way too many problems. Its one thing after another with this fridge almost annually since we bought it 6 years ago!

Look at how many people have watched this video! And after just about to throw the drawer out for garage, I came here to KZbin. The whole process of reading, finding screwdrivers, saying bad words, and talking to the thing helped... I fixed it tight according to instructions with a very small screwdriver that so it wouldn't go flying into my eye (put on glasses before starting). I put the screwdriver side of the top and rocked it until it came apart. I left the first screwdriver still in the right side and rocked the left side, with another tiny screwdriver, and voila! the second fell, and everything fell into parts. I've washed it all and they are drying on my sink. LETHA W is my new heroine! (PS, I never heard a click.) (PPS, I hate that ice maker too. Otherwise, it has served me well for many years.) (My fridge calls itself a Kenmore... that's a Sears branding; it's really Samsung.)

Thanks you SOOOOOOO much for this!! Words literally cannot express my gratitude. If it weren’t for this I would have probably killed my fridge with fire or something cause it was so nasty to look at. I still broke the drawer a bit as a small piece cracked off but at least it’s clean.

Thank you for this video. I had even spoken with Samsung in the UK for help and they didn't know! It's a terrible design, and I learnt a valuable lesson when I buy my next fridge, is take a careful look at the draws to see if they are potential health hazards by trapping food in an unnecessary seam joint.
