Ensure the door is completely closed

If the door is not closed properly, the refrigerator will heat up, and water will start to form. Ensure that the door is closed properly and nothing obstructs it. Make sure that the door seal is fully functional. Rubber door seals should be cleaned regularly, at least every six months.

Check the energy-saving mode on the display

If condensation or water droplets appear on the door, turn off the Energy Saving mode. The heating strip on the door does not operate when the energy-saving mode is on. Additionally, the Energy Saving mode will automatically turn on when power is supplied to the refrigerator. Therefore, when restarting the product, please check the mode and turn off the Energy Saving mode.

Separate food items to improve ventilation

Ensure proper spacing between food items to allow adequate airflow. Avoid placing food too close to the refrigerator, as it can disrupt the downward air circulation and potentially lead to ice buildup at the bottom. Therefore, make sure nothing is placed directly against the refrigerator.

Maximize ventilation by separating food items inside the refrigerator as much as possible. Check to ensure that the air vents in both the refrigerator and freezer are not obstructed.

Check the defrost drain

Inspect the defrost drain for any food particles or debris that may become trapped. Accumulation of these particles can lead to blockage and water leakage.

If you suspect a clogged drain, turn off the power and wait for the defrosting process to complete.

Clean around any debris. Do not pour hot water directly into the defrost drain or inside the refrigerator. (This may cause internal errors in the refrigerator.) Therefore, please contact the helpline for diagnosis.

Cool down hot food before placing it in the refrigerator or freezer compartment.

Please refrain from keeping hot food or cooked items directly in the refrigerator. It can increase moisture in the freezer and may cause ice formation. Allow items to cool before placing them in your refrigerator.

Here are the troubleshooting solutions to address the issues of frost buildup or leakage in your Samsung refrigerator. Wishing you success!
