Samsung refrigerator ice build-up in back wall

Introduction

A refrigerator is a crucial appliance in any household, and when it starts acting up, it can be a real headache. One common issue that Samsung refrigerator owners may face is the back wall freezing up while the refrigeration portion fails to maintain proper cooling. In this post, we’ll delve into the causes behind this problem and provide practical solutions to get your refrigerator back in working order.


Common Causes

  1. Blocked Drain Tubes: Over time, dust, debris, or even food particles can accumulate in the drain tubes in the compressor compartment and restrict water flow from the evaporator section, eventually causing ice build up and restricted air flow.
  2. Faulty Defrost Sensor: If the defrost sensor is malfunctioning, it may not be signaling the defrost heater to turn on, leading to excessive frost buildup. Mr. Fridge technician will check resistance of sensor to ensure its functioning properly.
  3. Inadequate Sealing: A worn-out door gasket or a misaligned door can let warm air in, causing the refrigerator to overcompensate by cooling excessively.
  4. Clogged Evaporator Fan: The fan responsible for distributing cold air in refrigerator section, may be obstructed by ice, reducing its efficiency. If you hear a rattling noise when your refrigerator doors are closed, most likely its caused by ice build up behind evaporator cover.
  5. Defective Defrost Heater: If the defrost heater is not functioning, frost buildup on the back wall will persist. Mr. Fridge technicians have all necessary tools to check if there is electrical continuity of heating element and the fuse.
