Samsung Refrigerator Ice Build-Up and Leaking Water Inside Drawers - How to Fully Fix it Forever
If your Samsung Bottom Door Freezer Refrigerator has developed a water leaking problem where water gets into the crisper drawers, then this video is the ultimate fix for you. Additionally, if your refrigerator cover gets frozen in ice and you can't figure out how to remove it, this video will show you the fix. Both of these problems are related to each other, and you likely want to fix both problems at the same time in one big fix. This problem of the Samsung Refrigerator freezing up is a VERY common problem that really hasn't had a *GOOD* fix until recently.
The kit used in video: https://bens-appliances.com/collections/all/products/refrigerator-secondary-heater-kit
*DISCLAIMER*: This video involves splicing electric lines into your refrigerator. Make sure the electricity is turned off on the fridge when dealing with electricity, such as installing/splicing the secondary heater in. You'll need to turn it on to run the forced defrost mode, however, which is safe to do with the evaporator panel moved to the side (but plugged in for fan/ect)
The goal of this video is to:
* Fix Samsung a Refrigerator that has Ice on the Evaporator Panel
* Fix Samsung a Refrigerator that has Ice on the Evaporator Coils
* Fix Samsung a Refrigerator with Ice Ball on Evaporator Fan
* Fix Samsung a Refrigerator that Leaks Water into Drawers
Many people have thrown away their refrigerators or had to have technicians come to attempt to fix the problem multiple times with usually rocky results. If you do both installations together, you should correct just about any problem relating to your Samsung Refrigerator leaking water into drawers, as well as the ice build upon in the refrigerator.
At the end of this video, you will have successfully understand how to install a Samsung Drain Kit into your refrigerator (how to install #da82-01415a) as well as how to install a heater into your Samsung refrigerator.

Update: Since making this video, I've seen a lot of people use this fix, successfully buying all the items mentioned below. I found a company that build me a custom-made heater for these refrigerators, so viewers didn't have to spend the $80-100 that Amazon is now charging for everything (the heater, the drain kit, the ties, and drain kit). I've packaged the heater with ties and connectors for sale at this link: https://bens-appliances.com/collections/all/products/refrigerator-secondary-heater-kit
If you use the code "YOUTUBEKIT", it takes an extra 10% off the order, and basically contains all the Amazon parts below except for the drain tubes (which will be available soon).
