So, I'm not sure if those two things are related. I've read I should clear out the freezer and reset it, and some have said part of the freezer may be clogged. However, I'm not sure how this could cause the water on the floor, when no area under the freezer is wet. Thank you for any feedback.

I can't find any documentation that says to what temperature the "recommended" settings should cool the unit.

The included LT1000P water filter is bone dry. This fridge automatically bypasses the filter if it doesn’t see one installed, so water and ice still dispense, but with unfiltered water. (Luckily not much of an issue, for we have good enough tap water, but I digress.)

Fridge is very new - installed ~1 year ago but didn’t have water hooked up until recently.

I’ve taken off the panel that covers the tank and plumbing, and I didn’t see anything obviously wrong, but I don’t know what I’m looking at, really.

I have tried:

• Removing and replacing the filter with water off
• Unplugging and plugging it back in
• Removing and replacing the filter several times
• I turn the filter until it stops.

Right now I’m thinking the included filter is faulty, incorrectly made, et cetera. Wondering if anyone else has this problem and how to fix it - I’ll try a new filter when possible.

I am guessing this is a defrost problem, but looking at the service guide (https://www.scribd.com/document/34169130...) diagnosing what part of it is going bad does not seem approachable. Anyone have something I can recommend for her to try or I can do in a visit to possibly prevent having to call a maintenance worker to troubleshoot it professionally?

I am pretty handy with car and other household repairs, but last time I had to use a multimeter to try and figure one of these out I did not feel like I was measuring things right and did not resolve the issue.

One freezer is working but the one on the right (bottom) is the one not really cold of freezing. The whole fridge ocassionally has a bit of a knocking sound. The other three compartments work fine.

Had a failed defrost thermostat and open inline fuse. Bought and installed a new complete factory freezer harness that included new thermostat and fuse.

Following a video for troubleshooting/tests, there is no voltage on the W & Or wires from the control board.

Per spec sheet, element ohms spot on. Don't see how that matters when no power is being sent to it.

Tried another control board, no difference.

Appliance works fine otherwise and all other test/checks are good. Used a meter to verify the board indication.

What am I missing?

About a year ago we had a Samsung tech out to our home and he replaced the heating element that runs along the sides/bottom…parts and labor ~$200. As you can see from the attached picture, the bottom portion seems just fine, so it’s not the drain jamming up, for which I’ve seen some parts that can be bought to conduct more heat to the drain hole. Something is happening to quickly accumulate ice in the upper portion…assuming it’s a leak of sorts? The noise is starting to brew again today, so this week I will be back into the fridge for a defrost…any recommendations for a more permanent solve? Thoughts on a copper wire wrapped around the heating element and extended to the upper portion to conduct some heat up there to avoid the ice build up? Sorry if this is a naïve question, but is low freon a potential issue here? If so, how to diagnose and/or recharge?

The fridge works fine otherwise…some freezing of the upper ice maker a few times a year…but general cooling is working…so I’m hopeful that there’s a simple MacGyver fix here that will keep me from clearing the contents of the fridge and defrosting every 4-6 weeks in the summer months. Thanks in advance for the help.

As an update, we are experiencing the re-occurrence of fan noise routinely around every 4-5 weeks...I'm getting rather swift with the removal of contents/shelves from the fridge and hair-dryer defrost of the back wall...can usually have all put back together within 40-60 minutes. Build-up seems faster in the summer months where the humidity is higher here in WI...it gets dry in the winters and I'm expecting that we can go months if I can gut through the summer. With inspiration from the video linked below I've purchased an SH502 heater for ~$20 from Amazon and intend to install one of the next times we open up the unit...unless someone advises otherwise in this thread. Condensation is appearing quickly even while I defrost...so maybe a little caulk on the entry point near the top will be in order too.

Trying to identify this part. It is a bit melted from when I used a heat gun to melt some ice ('I know, bad idea). This is the plastic piece that protects the Styrofoam surrounding the freezing element in the Ice Master ice maker. It goes around the element and the foam. The auger assembly actually slides into this and the fan mates up with the bottom.

I read online that you should reset the ice maker if turning it on does not work, but I cannot seem to fine the reset button. I have read that some models do not have a reset button.

I also read somewhere that the freezer temperature should be at 0° F. My thermometer is reading 20°. Could that be preventing it from making ice?

I have already checked the lights and door switches in the main section of the fridge. I can not find a door switch in the crisper drawer.

Any help to identify which part is broken would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks to @jayeff I was able to identify this part as malfunctioning. It is the control board on the pantry drawer.
