I have a samsung with the french doors fridge and sliding door freezer on the bottom, bought it 5-6 years ago first time this has happened,water freezing below baskets then melting out to the floor, going to try your method, I just don't know if its the water freezing in the evaportarer because the heater is not melting the ice enough to allow the water to drain down the drain tube. Any way I will try and let you kown what happens. Cheers .
Arno D
test out that drain area, if no water passes you got your answer. we came back to find a puddle, still today all is working perfectly let me know love to hear the outcome?
@@fishycomics I chec ked the drain hose at the back of the fridge first,it was easiest thing to do. Sure enough lint got inside the upper part of the hose,washed it out and broke up all the ice on the bottom of the freezer ,working well no leaks!
@@arno124d8
🚨THE PERMANENT FIX!!!🚨
(To prevent the drain from getting clogged with ice, in the first place, causing the problem)
"You need to install a, Thick heavy Gauge Copper wire🧷🛒📎🖇 or (A Wire clothes hanger) into the drain hole 9 or 12 inches. Then bend the wire into a Hook, and clip it directly Onto the "HEATING ELEMENT/The Dark tube running under the cooling finns" (3:35).
:Explanation
"When your refrigerator Cycles through the (AUTO DEFROST MODE) The Heating element will get hot, ♨️ And the residual heat will travel down the "Copper Drain Wire" and this keeps the drain hole just warm enough for all the water to completely exit the freezing section of the refrigerator into the warmer fridge section, thus preventing any buildup of ice to form."💎
Good Luck!
"After I did this to mine, I haven't had to deal with a leaking refrigerator problem since.

The drain pipe to the evaporative coils is clogged
I have had this problem for years, but used an extended fridge cover package that allowed me to had to have fridge engineers keep fixing it, usually once a year. But my fridge/freezer package has now ran out, so I looked for fix it videos on RUclips and came across your video. You have saved me many £pounds, or in your case $dollars. I really appreciated the time you took to do this video, thank you.
thank you. what we do best (SMILES)
I just wanted to say thanks for posting this video. You never know when your videos might help somebody.
We are a family of 5 in quarantine this week and your video helped fix a leak.
Very clear and helpful video. Keep up the good work!
What i try to d my best to help out and be crisp and clear stay safe and strong
Amazing. I spent weeks placing towels under my fridge and not being able to track down the leak. This was EXACTLY what I did to fix it! There was literally some random piece of plastic in the drain tube, probably just falling off a frozen food bag and into the drain. I will say though, my drain was FULL of ice and took about a gallon of boiling water (poured 12-oz a time every 10-minutes or so) for it to finally break through! So be patient with that part. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!
You are most welcomed. glad the vid was helpful. and puts a big smile each time a see a post and a like on it Glad you resolved it!!!
Never again buying any Samsung appliecnces.
first time in many years of ownership this happened, now I can understand if you just bought one, we say that on any product. has to be a reason.
Samsung does not have any repair people anyplace from ftwayne to Indianapolis Indiana ...what kinda crap is that ..I've had to fix mine 6 times in last 8'yr ..I have to do this at least once every year ..fixed the fan once ..and replaced the thermostat 3 times ...unbelievable 1800$ fridge???....I never could of done it without these RUclips videos....they have been a life savor ...we played to have the fan fixed $32 part ..$125 labor geeeze??? Any god bless you and all the other people who have been kind enough to help us poor folk learn to DIY...thanks a million
this was not an issue, and it only happened once of the Life of our still to working fridge, imagine now today the fridge you buy, lets hope no more isues
I came for fridge... I stayed for t-shirt... 🇺🇸
grea8t 2 know
THANK YOU!!!! My husband and I just went through this process just like you described and fixed our freezer leak. So happy not to have to call someone.
Glad it helped!
I did this 4 weeks ago because off the ice down and everthing was clean till today i saw ice again. What will be the problem now do i have to clean it again or do i have a another problem
wish I knew, if hte drain is clogging again recheck your work.
If i cut the rubber drain with the two holes and make it where it will drain better will that be a problem? Those two holes are so small i would thinking getting rid of that would make it better draining flow
do not destroy things but if you can reattach it if done that will be your Option, its been too long for me to say yes and no one hole to drain it is
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I’m a 56 year old mom and thanks to your video I fixed my leaky fridge. It was exactly like you had in your video.
You are very welcomed. was not hard to do at all. I am known for my easy talking slow way of doing things and that wins all over, I tip my hat off to ya big time!!! that is a high compliment
Awesome!
Does the hot sizzling element always stay hot or were you defrosting ?
good question when I touched mine it was not hot and ws not in defrost.
5 stars!!!. We have a frig in our basement doing the same thing. Good to see a side by side how to. Ours is top and bottom. It's ice that gets in those hoses. Be nice if there was an easier way to fix it but doesn't take long. Great video!!
OMG so much work. I think i have to do the same thing. Thanks for posting this video. Very helpful!
very welcomed , its a very helpful vid for all fridges.
You’re the best,
Great job. Well done! Love the shirt!
I love your shirt. Happy Independence day
thank you let Sis know she got that Down South somewhere i checked hte online and they are a great company, thanks again FISH
If that black coil isn’t hot on my fridge does that mean it’s not working? Or does it turn on and off in cycles?
it will get hot, so careful, if it is not hot then there is an issue, you can always check wit ha meter.
@@fishycomics thanks. Yeah it’s not getting hot at all. There’s a huge block of ice in the drain area
@@SEadeh put a meter to the part, if it shows voltage, then melt way the ice like we did, hot water, takes time , then after its done, check to see if the eliment is even getting hot.
Thank you for teaching me sensei. I may not know everything, but you've help me expand my knowledge and become more self sufficient. saving a few hundred bucks is nice too.
y pleasure, see one, do one, teach one
THANKYOU!!!!!
Thank you - fixed my problem!! The finishing step for me was to use the wire and snake it up from the backside. I kept putting hot water on the front side, thinking there was still ice in the drain but water wouldnt flow through. Finally I snaked some wire up from the backside that did something as all the water came out and solved the issue. Great video!!
I just did all this dismantling and cleaning and assessing - all of it - except adding the hot water - I felt defeated by the iced up hole - and now I'm back straight back in - the kettle is on
Had the same issue and had cleaned it out like you did about 12 months ago (before you made this video). Now its doing the same thing. Appears that adding a new Replacement Clip Drain Evaporator Refoem part: DA61-06796A may help with a more permanent solution to prevent freezing in the drain line.
Well, this was our first time of the many years used and the fridge was adjusted down with minimal food, for a number of months. There are many other Members out there that have problems, just not knowing how many with many vids made? it can be a part like said, but can be simple maintenance too, hope you get the part replaced and corrected.
Excellent solution, it was the identical problem we had. Replacing the clogged drain tubes still requires cleaning out the frozen tube from inside. Turkey baster, with hot water did the trick. Thank you..
You are very Welcomed. glad to see and hear that a simple fix was all it took again thank you and for the comments
Thanks for the great video! I'll try this now and hopefully it will fix the same issue I'm having.
I'm having the same problem with water leaking out the front. Has your drain clogged again since you made this video?
When this happened, I looked at every possible thing. turned out to be the Drain since July, I had not one Single drop of water at all, 110% cleared and fixed.
Thank you! Pretty sure this was our problem. When I got to the drain in the freezer the little pan was a solid block of ice 😅.
I love that shirt!!
big- thank you
Just fixed mine just like this one but stainless place i got it left the screws in that drain tray what was part of it not draining cold metal make water freeze
My heating element isn't hot to melt the ice, causing freezing and a huge block of ice to form in the bottom of the freezer as well as clogging the drains. Is that fixable?
Thanks for the helpful video as well.
In your Region check repairclinic out also research other places for the best pricing, they are replacable, just make sure you have the fridge unplugged for that, may be a module connection in the back
Make sure y’all UNPLUG it first!
Good job on the video!! 99% of the time that water is leaking from a freezer is because the drain line is frozen. Just did this to my Kenmore fridge. Used the hair dryer and boiling water.
All and all. You explained it well.
Big- thank you, you are very welcomed and hope otehrs can learn from all , and it works on any one I guess (SOWEET!)
Thank God every time I looked up for freezer pooling water and leaking in the same exact place yours is leaking The video only addressed the refrigerator side plug. It was aggravating finally I was so happy to find your video with the exact same problem my sons freezer is having so I guess I’ll be pulling everything out of the stupid thing and why they can’t make it access panel just in front of the bottom where it’s leaking out of so you don’t have to pull everything out
the Drain port is in the back and when that tray overfolws we all think something is wrong simply put a door there, you lift up, slide it etc, and BAM add hot water Done too Simple right? glad my video was Super clear and helpful wish I can take the same time to do other things to share.
Thank you so much for this video. I have that same model Samsung refrigerator. Following your steps did the job.
thank you I am so happy it helped, ours has been free ever since. my pleasure.
The best clip and method.
Omg you just save me $250.. widow mom with 2kids.. I have learn to be a plummer/roofer/ driver etc and now Appliancr repair woman 👩🏻 thank you 🙏
Makes you the bestest in this World for that.
Thank you so much this solved our leak problem🙏🏾!!
Thank you so much for this video! Everything worked exactly as you described. The TURKEY BASTER is an absolute necessity for this to work quickly. I fought for a few hours to clear out the drain without one and once I got one, it took a few minutes. Thank you!
you are very welcomed glad it worked iam
Single woman here…..saw the puddle on my floor and saw dollar signs. Saw you had same model fridge and I was able to fix it myself thanks to your video. THANK YOU!
And that puts te biggest smile here, you are very welcomed, my Dear!
Thank you!!!!! It really works!!! We are sooo glad that we could do it ourselves with your help!
Ah what a happy new year for you. Glad my vid helped.
Thank you for this video. My husband and I have this same fridge... and same frozen drain issue. Your video helped us know how to fix it. And I can report... SUCCESS! 😊
Awesome, puts a smile each time I hear success stories glad it helped out
Thank you brother for the video, I don't have the exact model as yours but the lay out is practically identical in every way. This is my 3rd fridge in my life and is the first time this has happened out of all of them, hopefully this fixes the issue as it's not as bad of a leak as yours but I don't want to stick around till it is 👍
thank you very glad it was helpful of other models great to hear.
Great explanation ! I did it for the Samsung RSA 1DTPE, and indeed, the drain was clogged. Now, it is sloved thanks to you. Thanks a lot !!
You are very welcomed I am glad yours freed up and the video gave you some guidance. thanks for watching
This video just saved me like $300..but my drain took for ever to open with a lot of hot water and there was tons of Ice.
no one said it takes a second to do glad you got that thawed. out
My Samsung RS2630WW keeps leaking onto the floor, but there is no ice in the drain, and when I pour water through it, it pours through fine in the back and into the drip tray. It happens a couple of times a day. The front of the refrigerator is .3" higher than the back. Any ideas? Samsung has been less than helpful.
When we came back, I had to figure this out maybe yours is a too much is defrosting, possible running off. not sure, but tilting back means a harder close, what these contractors do.
I have aa Samsung RS25J500DSG and have the same issue. There is no ice build up or drain pipe clogged. When you pour water it comes out right away. But I can see droplets beneath the white dome like thing that covers the coils near the heating element. Those droplets accumulate over time and gradually make their way towards the front and then there is a puddle on the floor (freezer side). I am wondering if you have solved the issue yourself.
Forgot to mentioned fishycomics -Thank you for making the video and educating all of us.
Net York guy saved California guy $1,200.
Product 64 is a killer. glad you endjoyed
Excellent video, my fridge has been giving me a headache, I’m going to have to give this a try. 👍
Hope it works taken me some time to figure the issue out, and problem solved.
Very helpful, thank you 🙏🏽
Thank You for the video needed to see this!
Man your a life saver! This worked perfectly!
Thank you Glad my vid was super helpfu
Appreciate the help
Thanks a lot for the video! This solved the problem :)
you are very welcomed.
Good tip.
Opened mine, was stuck with glued gaskets so hard to remove.
I found a big chunk of ice and drain clogged.
What worries me doh was that my lower heating tube was submerged in ice. Any way of checking if the heater is dead?
maybe a Ohms meter on the probe. or the leads of the probe. you can quickly touch it, if it feels warm. but careful not to burn the fingers
@@fishycomics Il try that. But then the heater isent running all the time? Its just running in periods to remove built up ice?
@@Maraxion I am not sure it stays on 24-7 it only goes on periodically.
Thank you!!!
Great video!!! Thank you!!! Just one question to be sure...when you pour the hot water is the refrigarator working? Is it on? Or do you disconect it?
thank you, I left it in all the time, you will not get shocked by pouring water on the, heater but you do want to be careful, reason why it was left in, so I can tell if the heater was working
@@fishycomics Thank you very much!!!!
@@kailiakailia6108 Take your time, do not rush, when pouring in the hot water, be careful, and it may take the longest to thaw, once you heat gets into the piping it will open, I Never had, an Issue since I made this video!!!!
@@fishycomics Oh my God!!!! You are a life saver!!! Thank you so much!!!! I'm from Greece and i just fixed my moms fridge!!! I don't even know how to change a lightbulb!!! She had called a technician twice she paid him 300 euros and the problem was there. Now its working perfectly no leaking nothing!!! Thank you for everything!!!
@@kailiakailia6108 you are very welcomed, have mom kiss you for me!
Great Job. Thanks!!!
you are very welcomed.
I noticed the hot coil in your video. I think mine may be on the frits. If it plugs again I will know. Hope not because I hate electrical trouble shooting. Time will tell.
@@thearkansashiker I totally hear you. hope it is something simple for you, today teh fridges are getting quite expensive and limited
This was the video that solved my issue!
thank you very much so pleased it helped you out,,
Thanks for the video. I have the exact same fridge, with the exact same problem. Knowing what to expect when I got the panels off saved quite a bit of time.
was not hard to do, and takes some time, this never repeated itself after the fix and working like a charm thank you hope you get the job done and pat yourself on the back for a excellent repair
Excellent Explain. Thank u, Sir.
You are very welcomed
Helpful video !
Awesome shirt
Why Thank you appreciate the comment and support
Great video! I followed all the steps and thawed out all the ice build up but the drain is still clogged by something. Any ideas on the next steps to get the drain unclogged?
to melt ice, may take longer. taken me a few tries
@@fishycomics I beingvtrying hot water for over 10times and is supper clogged :(..
@@azucarweber2456 really takes hot water and will take a few good tries.
@@fishycomics you are 100% I kept trying and now is in perfect condition.. being a widow with 2kids youtuve is being my new husband lol… thank you 🙏
@@azucarweber2456 takes a lot of hot water to warm the cold pipe. have to thaw, thaw, and thaw.
Love the shirt! 👊🏻🇺🇸
thank you very much.
Simply done and nicely explained!
A Big Thank you.
Thanks, our drain tube had what looked like dust inside it that was preventing it from draining into the pan. This video led me to the solution. There was a lot of ice inside on and in the drain, and below the metal flashing took a while for that to go away too. This video led me to the solution. Much appreciated
you are very wlcomed
I'm currently working on this same problem. About How long does it take to melt below the flashing?
@@MikeMikeMike8492 all depends on your clog, mine taken about ten cups of water lets say and that was like ten plus minutes.
@@fishycomics ah okay. I finally got mine unclogged after about 45 minutes.
@@MikeMikeMike8492 Please forgive me when I have to really think back when I did this. It may have taken longer like you said. and i am positive it was not just one try. so if we simply just continue to add boiling water and allow to thaw it will desolve in time and rushing it would be taking atorch to it.
It worked - thanks a lot!
You are very welcome, I appreciate the view and thank you, was there anything that could have made this easier?
Well done
thank you very much, its been a few months, problem solved.
LOVE YOUR SHIRT
Put a big smile here thank you and appreciate the comment
Samsung Fridges are junk
ANd what do you have?
@@fishycomics have a samsung and have had nothing but trouble with it. Three ice makers and total mods to keep if from freezing up and it still freezes up.
Would forced defrost do the job? Of course food or dust clogging will not work but ice can be defrosted. I wondering why ice builds up in the bottom instead of on side walls.
I found ice on bottom of the freezer area in my rs261. But drain pan is dry. Is the drain pan expected to be wet?
@@mli-yw8jv in my situation the pipe was clogged with frozen water, what did not go through , but what was on top, found its way over and out
Hey, informative video. I will try this later on.
I have a Samsung rfg23uers model.
I leaks from the front onto the floor occasionally. However in the last few days it doesn’t seem to be freezing. I have tried power freeze, no ice on the bottom of the freezer.
Any ideas would be appreciated!
Thank you
have to troubleshoot your problem, look into the thermostat part. that can stop freezing
@@fishycomics Thanks for your reply, would that still be the case even though the fridge part seems cold enough? Thanks again
@@MoneyonTheSide7 One of the places I find info at may be like repairclinic. I suggest if you have a cooling issue research it out. can be from a seal to a part. that can cost darely.
@@fishycomics repair clinic has no matches for my model number lol
@@MoneyonTheSide7 let me guess , UK model?
