Hi there! Thanks so much for asking. There are actually a few different things that could be causing this leak from your refrigerator. I recommend going through the steps in this link to help with this: https://www.samsung.com/us/support/troubleshooting/TSG01001852/ Show Once these steps are completed, if the refrigerator is still leaking, it will require service. There’s a couple options here we can take based on your warranty status. I had the exact same problem with my Samsung fridge. When the freezing/leaking happened, it happened at the most inconvenient times such as getting ready to attend a wedding, getting ready to leave for a doctor's appt, etc. I hated it so much. Unfortunately the only way to fix (temporarily) it is to open it up and aim a hair dryer where the drain is for about 45mins-1hr. Takes that long because you don't want to use a high setting or else the plastic surrounding the drain might warp. Either that or put all the contents in a cooler and unplug it for the night to defrost it. Then it'll happen again 6 months later. I sold my condo and swore I'd never get a Samsung fridge again. The only real solution is to get rid of it and buy a new fridge.
Oct 27th, 2020 9:27 am I hate Samsung fridges. I have a French Door one with ice maker and water dispenser and that thing acts up so much. Warm air gets into the ice maker mechanism and will constantly malfunction and no longer dispenses ice. You have to take it apart and let it thaw out so it works again, but then it'll act up again a short while after.
Oct 27th, 2020 10:24 am Besides defrosting the ice, you need to clear the drain line as there may be some blockage stopping the water from draining to the bottom. You can try running a long "pipe cleaner" thru there as well and then flushing any debris in there with water. You should see water coming out down below. We're all bozos on the bus until we find a way to express ourselves...
Oct 27th, 2020 1:43 pm Not the back, just the cover inside the fridge. If you're moving out, just don't bother and let the new owner deal with it. If the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.

There is a fix, I posted it above. It's pretty dumb that they didn't design it properly in the first place. If the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy. +1
Oct 27th, 2020 4:06 pm wow yours had a much worse problem then mine it never leaked out for me, just a big hunk of ice in the back or water in crisper drawers but it does sound like i can just cut the power and it won’t break the fridge say I let it defrost for a couple days... where does all that melted ice/water go? i know there’s a drip pan in the back on the bottom. if there’s too much water, and it’s not evaporating will it overflow to the floor behind the fridge...?
Oct 27th, 2020 4:14 pm yes that’s what I mean.... i’ve seen videos of how to open up the back panel involves unscrewing a few screws, then prying it open there may be styroforam pads that are somewhat glued on and prying it open might break it or it just doesn’t seal the same anymore which is why i don’t want to open it up
Oct 27th, 2020 6:04 pm That's a good point, actually. The first time I opened mine, I ripped off a chunk of styrofoam at the bottom right corner. Thankfully I was able to super glue it back into place. Really felt like I was gonna break the damn thing trying to undo the clips. +1
Nov 30th, 2020 8:52 pm I removed the twin cooling panel to check. The difficulty was to put it back since some of the foam and tape were ripped from the removal. I didn't see anything wrong.

Dec 2nd, 2020 9:33 pm Nope, the fridge evaporator / heater is not the problem on mine. I guess it was designed to work for about 8 yrs. I placed order for GE GNE27JGMBB with unknown ETA. Hope Sammy will last during the wait period. Why is there ice under my crisper drawer?Ice might appear due to food debris, standing water, or ice buildup clogging the drain trough or drain tube, which is found along the back wall. The drain trough and drain tube will only be visible on a 200, 300, 500, or 600 Series, refer to 200/300-500-600 Series Refrigerator Drain Tube Cleaning.
What causes my Samsung refrigerator to accumulate water under the vegetable drawers?Many times when you see a pool of water (or one that froze into a sheet of ice), it can often be attributed to condensation or a spill you didn't notice. The most common place to see water is at the bottom of the compartment, such as below the vegetable or crisper drawers.
Why does ice form under drawer in Samsung refrigerator?Check the air vents on the freezer. Clear or move away anything that is blocking the vents. Keeping the rear of your refrigerator clean from dust and debris can also help prevent ice build up. It is recommended that the rear panel is hoovered once or twice a year.
Why is my crisper drawer filling with water?The most common reason for standing water in your refrigerator is because there is something wrong with the defrost drain tube. When the defrost runs, it melts excess frost off the evaporator so it doesn't build up.
