Samsung RB29FERNDSS Fridge - Investigating and Cleaning Leaky Water Issue

Question

Dear friends, as in the subject, water leaks under the fridge. I thought it was a gutter. I took it apart and I'm looking at what to clean here....

mtd · Answer

Trough not free?

mrhari · Answer

You have the condensate drain here: Pour the water over and see if it flows.

Weeman42217 · Answer

Thanks! It doesn't run off and it's frozen over. Ice and such a strange black goo ran out of nowhere. I poured boiling water over it, and soon I will clean it with a wire. By the way, I thought that there would be this hole in the refrigerator part, not in the freezer.

mtd · Answer

Defrost, check for patency and like new

Weeman42217 · Answer

It was quiet after the repair for 2 weeks. Now the water has gathered again. Ice inside in the freezer. It seems to me because of this ice the hole is clogged again ... hmmm like the refrigerator no frost: /. Is it time for a change?

mrhari · Answer

Is the valve above the tray on the compressor blocked? Download and clean. Unfortunately, you have to defrost the refrigerator again. Looks like you didn't get down hard last time

Weeman42217 · Answer

Which valve? Can you show me in the photo I posted? Unless it's the same thing? Earlier, when I cleaned this drain and rinsed with warm water, the water overflowed immediately and I assumed that it is already expensive. Because in the beginning the water was standing and did not want to overflow. I also cleaned with the cable. Maybe I should put the cable in?

mrhari · Answer

You can't see it in the photos.

Weeman42217 · Answer

How can it not be seen in the photo and the photo shows the whole part of the freezer, where would it be? Behind the refrigerator? I don't know what valve is where.

Weeman42217 · Answer

Gentlemen, let me know if you can't see this valve in the photo, tell me from which side I should take the photo, I will get a photo. Is it in the back of the refrigerator? Is there anything else to start?
thanks a lot

Weeman42217 · Answer

I undressed again today. The crevice inside is frozen. I will clean it again when it thaws. I also took pictures of the back of the refrigerator. I don't know if I should move anything. I can see a stone on one element.

Don't move anything, and that condenser tube is insulated and will be fine.

Weeman42217 · Answer

Approx. Should I then only clean the condensate drain again? Mrhari wrote about the valve above the compressor tray, and where is it?

JeszczeRaz · Answer

You can see it in the photo where you can see cobwebs. Such a plastic thing from where water drips into this tray on the compressor, I can't describe it in any simpler way. Can be seen in the photo with a spider's web.

Weeman42217 · Answer

Is it talking about this? I marked on the photo. I think so, because when I cleaned the wire, it comes out on the other side. Water overflows too. We'll see what it will be like now.

Weeman42217 · Answer

After the last cleaning, it was fine for 15 days and then it started to leak again. For now it's ok. I'll let you know in 2 weeks how it is.

Weeman42217 · Answer

Thank you for your help, and the post to close and nothing leaks anymore :)

Again the same: / cleaning helped for 3 months. I think this type is like that and now every 3 months you have to clean the devil.

Budrick · Answer

The problem is poor defrosting of the condensate drain. Due to the accumulation of ice, the evaporator rose + the plate was deformed. greetings

Weeman42217 · Answer

Hey thanks. Should I push this evaporator down then? Is there any salvation from this situation?

Budrick · Answer

The only question that can always be pushed is whether it will last. Order yourself this part and put on the DA61-06796A

Weeman42217 · Answer

I ordered it, replaced it and I am waiting for the effect. It is repeated every 4-5 months, I will let you know. I quietly hope that this is the last time, and if not, it's a new refrigerator.
Thanks a lot!

dalia45 · Answer

Hello.
I had a problem with the water flowing out from under the refrigerator, no frost. Zam the problem. It's not leaking anymore - Do not force open the refrigerator door when it is firmly attached (e.g. it was opened a while ago). Wait a few minutes (approx. 5), then the door can be easily opened. The problem is gone.

Kanapa7 · Answer

This black goo clogging the drain is the remains of oxidized universals or cushioners. As you can see, the problem is widely known and Samsung's service tells you to call the service to clear the blockage. :/

Pangenitor · Answer

In the last post there is a description of how to solve the problem with freezing drains in Samsung refrigerators.
