Frozen defrost drain causes meltwater to back up and pool under the crisper or deli drawers instead of draining to the pan.
Ice accumulates at the bottom of the fresh food section when the drain line is blocked and standing water refreezes overnight.
Backed-up meltwater overflows the drain channel and leaks out from underneath the unit onto the floor.
Ice blockage near the evaporator can cause abnormally cold air to flow directly onto food stored close to the rear wall of the refrigerator.
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.
