About one appliance warranty and a few months ago we bought a new Samsung refrigerator. We had a bit of an odd-sized space, and the particular Samsung model we purchased was one of the few French door styled fridges that would fit in our kitchen without major modifications. The Samsung fridge went in easily, fit nicely, and other than a few peculiar mechanical noises it likes to make periodically, has been serving us well. Until, that is, we started noticing water building up in our crisper drawers (also known as your fruit and vegetable drawers). At first, we thought things just got a little too humid in there. Maybe some of the fruit got frisky with the veggies? It soon became apparent there was a more serious problem going on. While this little appliance repair adventure isn’t for everyone, if you have a Samsung refrigerator that’s been more humid than a muggy summer night in Miami, this how to repair water in your crisper drawers article and accompanying video is definitely worth checking out and MIGHT save you a costly appliance repair call.
