BlueStars DA61-06796A Refrigerator Clip Drain Evaporator - Solve The Ice Buildup Problem - Compatible with Samsung Refrigerators - Replaces DA61-06796A AP5579885 PS4145120 2683162 - Pack of 2

Installed a year ago and still doing well. Seems to have resolved the ice build-up issues in my Samsung refrigerator. I'd recommend this item.

Did your local appliance repair shop laugh when you called and said you have a Samsung frig with a water puddling issue, mine did. Simple search and found this clip will solve the Samsung refrigerator evaporator drain ice buildup issue. Easy to install once the evaporator cover is removed from the back of the inside of the frig. Give yourself 2-4hrs with careful use of hair dryer to remove the cover. Additional time may be required allow the evaporator drain passage to thaw to allow the additional length of the clip to be placed properly. To access, it does require removal of the shelving and drawers but not the water filter assembly. Recommended is to unplug the frig from AC power. There are numerous reputable "water under the crisper drawer" videos on YouTube that step by step walk you thru the installation procedure. I personally recommend accessing the back of the refrigerator to clean the drain tubes, dust and muck from the drain pan for best fluid evaporation. When disassembling I found poor manufacturer assembly practices with the original clip bent over and not in any way in a position to thaw the ice build-up.

Does exactly what it is intended for. Haven’t had an issue since installation, which was easy to do. No more freezing up line causing my crisper draw to become a swimming pool. Well with the the few bucks and install time.

My Samsung refrigerator works great except for one design flaw - ice build up beneath the vegetable bin due to the evaporator drain freezing shut. The refrigerator has a small clip that attaches to the heating element and hangs down into the drain that is supposed to keep the water in the drain from freezing. However, it is insufficient to prevent the freezing, and when the drain is frozen shut the water then drains to the bottom of the frig below the vegetable bin and freezes and eventually makes it very difficult to open the bin.There are YouTube videos that show how to remove the back panel inside of the frig to replace the clip with the BlueStars clip. The clip has a larger surface area that make contact with the heating element and also hangs lower into the drain. I used a hair dryer for a while to melt the ice buildup in the drain, but the plastic frig interior gets very hot and I was afraid it would start melting the plastic if I continued. The drain remained frozen further down. So I began pouring hot water down the drain, then used an ear irrigation syringe to suction out the cooled water. Repeated this operation several times and eventually the drain opened.I only gave 4 stars in my review because the clip did not 'fit perfect' as advertised, in my Samsung refrigerator. It was too long and too wide to fit in the drain. So I trimmed it down with a wire snips and on a grinding wheel to get it to fit.Seems crazy that you should have to do this to fix what appears to be a widespread design flaw, but if you are looking to get the dang drain to stop freezing shut, this clip will work (maybe with a little modification).

Worked perfect make sure it's wrapped tightly when you install it

Easy to install

I used this and replaced the foam seals around the cover with a not very close match from the orange box store. So far so good. I checked resistance on the heater and the fuse before going this route. They both read some low value so I’m pretty sure they worked fine the whole time.It’s easy to install if you don’t count the removal of the panel and drilling out the rivet of the old one. But you’re probably halfway there already.Edit: Frost came back a couple months after this install. I am very happy with my new, non-Samsung fridge. Knocking only two stars off because the problem was more of a Samsung failure. But that drain did still freeze with this new part.

Great
