This Part Fixes These Problems

Water Pooling Under Crisper

Frozen defrost drain causes meltwater to back up and pool under the crisper or deli drawers instead of draining to the pan.

Ice Buildup on Refrigerator Floor

Ice accumulates at the bottom of the fresh food section when the drain line is blocked and standing water refreezes overnight.

Leaking Under Refrigerator

Backed-up meltwater overflows the drain channel and leaks out from underneath the unit onto the floor.

Items Freezing Near Back Wall

Ice blockage near the evaporator can cause abnormally cold air to flow directly onto food stored close to the rear wall of the refrigerator.

Drain Pan Overflowing

Continuous water backup eventually overwhelms the drain pan, causing it to overflow and creating persistent puddles around the refrigerator.

💡 Pro Tip: Diagnosing a Frozen Samsung Defrost Drain

Your part is likely the culprit if you notice any of the following:

⚠️ Water or ice collecting under the crisper drawers or deli tray

⚠️ Puddle of water on the refrigerator floor or leaking out from underneath the unit

⚠️ Items stored near the back wall of the fridge are freezing unexpectedly

⚠️ Drain pan needing constant refilling or overflowing

Before installing the new clip, always thaw the frozen drain line first — a pump sprayer filled with hot water works perfectly. While you have the back cover off, also inspect drain tube DA97-04049D for lint or debris clogs, and consider clipping the duckbill valve tip open for improved long-term drainage.

Questions & Answers

Is DA61-06796A the same as DA61-14306A?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Mar 15, 2024
Yes. Samsung officially superseded DA61-06796A with DA61-14306A. Both part numbers refer to the same function — a drain clip/heater plate that attaches to the defrost heater and extends into the drain tube to prevent freezing. Our replacement is compatible with both numbers and is a direct drop-in fit.
My Samsung refrigerator has water pooling under the crisper drawers. Will replacing this clip fix the problem?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Nov 20, 2023
In most cases, yes — this is the most common cause of that symptom on Samsung refrigerators. The drain clip keeps the defrost heater's heat directed into the drain tube. When the clip is missing or broken, the drain tube freezes solid and meltwater backs up under the crispers. Before installing the new clip, make sure to thaw the drain line completely using hot water in a sprayer. Also inspect and clean out the rear drain tube (DA97-04049D) for any lint buildup.
What Samsung refrigerator models is DA61-06796A compatible with?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Jan 8, 2025
This drain clip is compatible with a wide range of Samsung refrigerator models including RF217ABWP, RF217ABWPXAA, RF217ACPN, RF217ACRS, RF217ACWP, RF263AEBP, RF263BEAESR, RF266AEWP, RF28JBEDBSR, RF28R7201SR, RB195ABWP, RB217ABPN, RS265TDRS, RS263TDBP, RFG298HDBP, RFG29PHDRS, RF24FSEDBSR, RF18HFENBSR, RF260BEAESR, and many SRF-series models. Please verify your model number before ordering to confirm fit.
How difficult is it to install the DA61-06796A drain clip? Do I need a technician?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Jul 22, 2024
This is one of the easiest refrigerator repairs you can do yourself. No special tools are required — just a Phillips screwdriver to remove the evaporator panel and a pair of work gloves for safety. The clip simply snaps onto the defrost heater rail. Most homeowners complete the job in 10–20 minutes. The most time-consuming part is thawing the frozen drain before installation, which we recommend doing first with a hot-water sprayer.
The water came back after I already replaced this clip once. What else should I check?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Feb 10, 2026
If the problem recurs, the most likely culprit is a clogged rear drain tube (DA97-04049D). Lint and debris can build up inside the tube and block drainage even with a functioning drain clip. Pull the refrigerator out, remove the rear lower cover, and clear both drain tubes. Many technicians also recommend removing the duckbill valve inside the tube and clipping its tip open so it can no longer seal shut. Replacing the drain tube DA97-04049D is also advisable if it is heavily clogged or cracked.
