Description
A Final Fix for One of Samsung's Biggest Fridge Failures - The Dreaded "Ice Ball" That Causes Leaks, No Cooling, and More!
This kit is designed to potentially fix the following problems on a Samsung French Door Refrigerator (although it could work on other styles as well):
- Refrigerator Cabinet Not Cooling Properly (due to ice build-up)
- Refrigerator Cabinet with Water in Drawers
- Refrigerator Making Noise due to Ice on Evaporator Fan
- Refrigerator Ice Build-Up inside Refrigerator Cabinet
Please note this does not replace any part in your refrigerator: If you have a broken fan, or bad defrost heater rod, this will not fix those parts, and they will need replaced. If you have tried all the other "Solutions" to resolve any of the 4-mentioned issues and its still persisting, then a secondary heater kit is likely the solution.

I’ve been dealing with my Samsung refrigerator for about 13 years now and the latest issue was with the ice bubble in the refrigerator and frozen drain. The drain now works fine and the ice bubble has been reduced by about 50%. I’m not as concerned about the ice bubble since it doesn’t really affect the operation of the refrigerator. Easy to install and there is a YouTube video that clearly guides how to install.
Installed it a week ago and so far so good. I did notice that after I put the tape on there was another video from Ben showing an alternate place for adhesion ? Just a reminder for the Canadian buyers that there will be import duty to pay from UPS which can be paid COD or online.
Sensor was defective. + refund was super easy, super quick. Overall pleased.
Excellent fix for our issues! Still having a minor issue with the drain, but we can fix it. Did end up getting a spray foam to seal any tiny air gaps. It's running smooth, not freezing up and she's quiet once again. Now, for the ice maker...another day! Such simple fixes. Samsung could have saved a lot of folks all this anguish, time, energy and money if they cared. We did end up having to get a new panel for the twin cooler, too.
