This problem first popped up 2 months ago when I heard ice hitting the fan in my fridge (Samsung RF217ACRS). After letting my fridge defrost for ~24 hours and then seeing how fast it froze up, I got this. Searching through Google/Youtube, I saw that apparently plenty of Samsung fridges have this problem. I switched the evaporator drain clip with a new one and it looked like this for a while. Great! Well that only lasted for 2 months. This time, it didn't get to the point of the ice hitting the fan. I did see ice peeking through the evaporator cover so I did the whole 24 hour defrost again and decided to replace the defrost sensor and add a copper wire. Well looking here, it doesn't seem to be working. It's already icy. Should my next step be to order a new heating element? I'm not sure what else could be the issue. Or should I just wait out and see how this new defrost sensor works, considering it has only been a few hours since that was put in?Also note, I did not have the problem of my fridge not cooling or water leaking. Just lots of ice on my evaporator coils.Picture of the coils defrosted with the new sensor. via /r/DIY http://ift.tt/2wEBI6Y
