NTPA Announcer Posted November 12, 2022 Report Share Posted November 12, 2022 I know this is not about my Volvo, but Miss Judy is not happy , Sooo.........We have a 2014 Redwood with a residential Samsung RF217ACPN French door, bottom freezer fridge. The Ice maker has been disconnected, but still we receive a small amount of leakage. We are at the point of replacing the fridge as it collects water into the crisper drawers amd freezes it there. What is the leakage from and can it be fixed ? Thank you for the help Quote Denver and Ms Judy Geitgey 2006 VOLVO 780 41 ' Redwood NTPA Event Announcer dngeitgey@gmail.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim & Wilma Posted November 12, 2022 Report Share Posted November 12, 2022 (edited) This is a common issue with the RF217 and 18 fridges. Problem is the defrost condensation drain freezes up and water “spills” over. There’s a fairly simple mod you can make that’ll fix it. https://www.amazon.com/Durable-DA61-06796A-Evaporator-Refoem-Replacement/dp/B07FMKZZL2/ref=pd_lpo_2?pd_rd_w=mm6dN&content-id=amzn1.sym.116f529c-aa4d-4763-b2b6-4d614ec7dc00&pf_rd_p=116f529c-aa4d-4763-b2b6-4d614ec7dc00&pf_rd_r=867WS6CCWWW1K39DQ40F&pd_rd_wg=50oW6&pd_rd_r=6559def0-f6ca-4f59-ac6d-93d348debd78&pd_rd_i=B07FMKZZL2&psc=1 Should be able to find some YouTube videos that detail the mod.

NTPA Announcer Posted January 30, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2023 UPDATE, I replaced the fridge and the new Frigidaire is working fine. The old Samsung went to the shop to be dissected and farmer repaired with an root beer can and put in the house garage. Hasn't dripped a drop...... Ms. Judy's happy ( I think...)

phoenix2013 Posted February 6, 2023 Report Share Posted February 6, 2023 Ah, Samsung appliances🤮😝 Top of the line fridge, stove, microwave and curved TV. Fridge and the TV went to the dump. Mama was not happy. Fridge couldn't handle Florida humidity creeping up the ice dispenser, would freeze the dispenser solid. Required heat guns and mallets to "open things up", off to the dump. TV developed tiger spots on screen, replacement chip on the motherboard $300 if you could find it and the shop to install it. Off to the dump. Stove, the display and control board funky, half the display works. Samsung stopped making the board, there is an outfit in the US that can "try" to refurbish it, $200. Dump is looking better and better. Microwave is hanging in. Replacements are sporting the LG logo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickeieio Posted February 6, 2023 Report Share Posted February 6, 2023 A friend owns an appliance repair company in Cincinnati, OH. He was the authorized repair/warranty center for all the major brands, until he dropped both Samsung and LG, citing lack of service support and parts availability.

The motherboard I need was discontinued. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
