    My Samsung RS21 American style side by side fridge freezer has a leak from the water chiller section in the fridge. The leak may have been caused by defrosting the water chiller using a hair dryer on low power, but, no matter. Can I get a spare water chiller & how difficult is it to fit if I can?

    Re: Samsung RS21 water leak

    hello, the broken water tank may just be another symptom of an overriding fault you have there.

    you mention that you’ve defrosted the tank with a hair dryer. why did you have to defrost it in the first place?

    normally, that tank should not freeze. it’s likely that you have a fault in the fridge evaporator area. maybe a thermal fuse, defrost sensor, defrost heater, evaporator cover, or any combination of those.

    one of the symptoms of a frozen evaporator can be a split water tank and, in terms of probability, it’s very likely that the problem lies a little deeper than is first obvious.

    i would call out an engineer in your area that has experience with these appliances.

    cheers.
