This may be a permanent solution to ice forming under the deli-drawer of your French Door refrigerator. I have a GE (model GFSS6KKYCSS) but I believe that Samsung are identical units. Disclaimers - (1) this may not fix the problem and (2) don't blame me if you cut yourself or damage the fridge. Be safe, unplug it first and work slowly and carefully! I was prompted to do this after defrosting my fridge several times and the problem returning. What I believe happens is that the fridge goes through a "defrost" cycle and the water is supposed to drain to a pan inside the fridge then through a tube and to another pan at the bottom of the fridge. The drain line from the inside of the fridge to the pan at the bottom is INSIDE the insulation, so it is next to the freezer section and it freezes! Why does the fridge work fine for maybe years then start freezing up? Maybe because over time the insulation becomes waterlogged and less efficient. You must defrost it before you do this and I used several great videos on KZitem to figure out how to open the back of the inside of the fridge to do this. Please support the folks who make THOSE videos! Once you have tried defrosting it and it keeps freezing, then do what I suggest - move the drain line OUTSIDE the fridge so it and the bottom of the pan inside the fridge stays warm and the water stays liquid. The trick is to cut open the sheet metal on the back of the fridge, (I have a video on my channel that shows how to do this) then dig out some insulation with a spoon (really) then cut a piece of the drain line out and go to the hardware store and get the proper tubing to now run the line down the outside of the fridge where it is warm and into the drain pan at the bottom of the fridge, behind the panel at the bottom of the fridge. Sound easy? IT IS EASY!!! YOU CAN DO THIS!! Save yourself buying a new fridge!
