RSG307AAWP ((XAA)(0002)) Samsung Refrigerator - Overview

piece of cake, take old one out, put new one in!!

I performed the repair to my own refrigerator, after watching multiple YouTube videos. I installed a secondary heater for the defrost coils and replaced the defrost sensor. The defrost sensor was actually bad. Today, 1/27/2024 I rechecked the fix from last week. All seems to be good so far.

If I get any build up of any ice on the bottom tray of the recessed panel where the drain port is located. I suspect I will also need a new Defrost Heater as well. For now the refrigerator is operating as expected. There is a small amount of ice build up as of today.

Also, I had recently replaced the drain tubes, added a longer heater element part to fit the drain hole, and cleaned the fins in the back of the refrigerator. Thank you.

A couple of blogs said the freezer defrost sensor should be replaced, so I ordered one. Did not fix it. I did, however find a service manual online and one of the blog sites and it showed me how to remove the inside duct work. I discovered the fan the recirculates the air across the evaporator coil was not working. Ordered a new fan motor and installed it, fridge works perfectly now.
