SAMSUNG Residential Refrigerator, Model # RF18

SAMSUNG residential refrigerator purchased new in March 2019 when we purchased our 2019 Montana High Country is now collecting water in the bottom of the refrigerator underneath the fruit and vegetable drawers. Some water also collects in the right side drawer when facing the open refrigerator. This is a three-door refrigerator unit with the freezer on the bottom (large pull-out drawer). The unit has an ice maker, but that is part of the freezer. There is NO water dispenser, ice or any other dispenser in the two refrigerator doors.

Has anyone else experienced this condition? if so, where is the water coming from and why? The coach, with the refrigerator, have both been on the same lot, in a campground since April of 2019. This has never occurred before now being last weekend and this past weekend, July 4th. The coach and refrigerator have been used on most summer weekend the last 2 1/2 years.
There is NO leaking food containers and NO leaking water containers. Just want to rule out those two things before folks begin troubleshooting.

Thanks in advance for unlocking this mystery.

A Search on 'samsung water drawer' or variations will locate previous discussion on this topic. Here are two that may help:

Thanks Carl n Susan. Searched on line after posting here and quickly found 3 or 4 videos of what was likely wrong, why and how to fix. Will be getting this taken care of by not taking the coach in to a dealer and sparring with the extended warranty people.

Happy camping!

John

Look inside your Samsung, (refrigerator) and see if you have a little "thing" that looks like this:



If you do, pull it out.



Once it is out, you can look in the hole. If you see ice, you need to simply defrost the ice build up. If it pops out, it's built up with ice enough to push that button out of it's hole. Defrost. With everything iced up, nothing will work right.

Dutchman Sport,

Thank you for your interesting reply. If you have the problem I have, I have learned from a minimal search on the internet you would learn a lot about correcting the situation regarding the defrosting of the coils on the back of the refrigerator. Please do a little search on this matter . This little ‘thingy’ you refer to is involved in removing the coil cover on the back of the refrigerator. You actually need to remove three Philip’s Head screws to remove this cover after removing good, shelves and fruit and vegetable drawers.
