Hi All,
There have been various posts re the icing up problem on these and other Samsung fridges, maybe I have the answer? Mine did the same, heater fuse blown behind the evap, heater checked out & worked ok, ordered new fuse assembly, refit, blew same fuse again, doh! Powered up heater independently, gets hot, draws 0.5 amps, left on test for half an hour, all ok. Strip blown fuse assembly, cut red wire, crimp in 2 blue female bullet connectors (Halfords), fit a glass or ceramic 1 amp mini fuse between the two connectors, fit heat shrink over fuse and seal, fit original clear Samsung heat shrink and seal. Refit to fridge, perfect, been working now for 6 weeks or more. Hope this helps.
