Try to avoid using copper and enamelled pots that can leave behind residue that can build up on your cook leading to any damage, and cast iron, porcelain and ceramic cookware that are heavy enough and have a rough bottom.
The other thing just as important is the necessity to clean a pot and a pan after each use. Remember that food spills must be cleaned up once you finish cooking.

Samsung is one of the most widely spread electronics companies in the world. Its kitchen and laundry home appliances are in almost every Canadian house. Samsung refrigerators are also not excluded. Though their quality is high enough, the problems can also happen. You can face certain most common problems with the fridge, such as the refrigerator making a loud noise, the fridge leaking water, the fridge not cooling, and others. You can read our tutorial on Samsung refrigerator problems and troubleshooting. One of the often observed problems is the Samsung refrigerator leaking water.
In our opinion, you can try to define and solve the fridge problems by yourself, but it’s not reasonable. Many troubleshooting issues require special knowledge and skills. In this case, you can contact professional refrigerator repairmen in Fix Appliances CA. With more than 18 years of experience in repairing and maintaining Samsung home appliances, you will receive the best services as soon as possible.
The refrigerator is one of the most important kitchen appliances and the one that is running all the time. Thus, it’s sure to work properly. You don’t care too much until you deal with the issue. When your Samsung fridge leaks water, first, it’s necessary to discover the reason and the place of the leak.
It’s not easy to determine the source of the leaking, but the leaking itself can be alarming for serious potential damage. Upon our Samsung experts’ experience, we detect the most common reasons that simplify troubleshooting why Samsung refrigerators leak water:
The water filter can be one of the issues if it is not fitted correctly on the filter housing. If not, water may leak from it. Moreover, the water filter head might be cracked, or the seal may be torn or missing. In this case, inspect the water filter head and water filter housing for cracks or other damages. If you discover any in one of them, replace the head or the housing.
Condensation tends to collect on all surfaces inside the refrigerator. When there’s enough of it, it begins to drip. Besides, you may notice moisture on the sides of the refrigerator if you’re in the habit of transferring warm items directly from the stove. But the most common source of condensation is outside air entering through a worn gasket on the refrigerator door that is not sealing properly.
Water tank assembly can be the place where you can find out leaking. You should inspect the water tank assembly for any leaks. But remember that it will be hard to find if the leak is too small. If you managed to discover a leak, replace the water tank. Do not try to adhere to the water tank with glue, as it’s dangerous.
LG Appliance RepairThe problem can be detected in the dispenser when the water inlet valve opens to supply water to it. If the water inlet valve is cracked or has a loose fitting, water will drip from the valve. Here, observe the water inlet valve for any cracks. Don’t forget to ensure it is tightly secured to the water supply line.
Besides, be sure to watch out for the water lines and water inlet valve connections at the back of the fridge freezer. They could be loose. Check and confirm that the connections are tight and are not the reason for leaking. If they are not, tighten them or contact us for some professional advice on what to do.
If you find water in your crisper drawers or notice the refrigerator leaking water on the floor, it can be caused by a clogged defrost drain. Self-defrosting refrigerators have a drain tube that deposits excess water into the drain pan. When it comes into the pan, the water evaporates. However, if the drain tube is clogged, water will eventually overflow and cause a leak.
The other thing is the defrost drain is frozen. In this case, the water will overflow the drain trough and drip down to the bottom of the compartment. Here, you should inspect the defrost drain if it’s frozen. If yes, thaw the ice (flush with hot water to ensure it is clear of debris).
One more thing is a rubber drain cap that can be cracked. In this case, it needs replacement. When a refrigerator leaks water outside, it can be due to excessive humidity as it accumulates in the drain pan and overflows onto the floor. On hot days, the extra moisture in the air can add more to the water that is already in the refrigerator and, of course, can result in leaking. Emptying the drain pan can help with the evaporation process and avoid leaks on these hot days. Therefore, try to keep the kitchen temperature with air conditioning to lessen water accumulation in your fridge. If the kitchen is getting warmer, check the drain pan occasionally and empty it if necessary to avoid leaking.
Another reason a Samsung refrigerator leaks water that we can’t mention is improper levelling. A correctly “levelled” refrigerator is not level from front to back. Refrigerators are designed so that the front has to be slightly higher than the back. First, this helps the doors to close by themselves, and, secondly, helps with draining. If the fridge isn’t levelled properly, it has to work harder to keep cool. It leads to the accumulation of extra condensation around the condenser coils and results in leaking water on the floor.
The levelling is not a hard process; you can do it yourself. The legs of your Samsung refrigerator are underneath its front end. You should rotate the legs left or right until a carpenter’s level reaches the correct height.

The Samsung Group is a South Korean manufacturing conglomerate with approximately one-century history. It has numerous affiliated companies united under the Samsung brand. One of the directions is to manufacture kitchen and laundry home appliances dispersed worldwide. Samsung has started opening dedicated stores to showcase its goods, and some cities in Canada, with the main commercial store in Toronto, are also on its list.
But today, we’d like to continue discussing the main problems and troubleshooting of Samsung refrigerators that we started in our post 7 Samsung Refrigerator Problems & Troubleshooting. Our Samsung experts at Fix Appliances CA reviewed the main problem issues with Samsung refrigerators. The Samsung fridge making noise needs additional attention as the reasons to vary from simple to serious and difficult ones. Such issues usually require special knowledge and skills of refrigerator pros.
Fix Appliances CA has licensed and certified fridge technicians ready to define and handle any problems with your Samsung refrigerator that is making an unusual noise. Taking into consideration our experience, we do not advise you to fix them by yourself to avoid making more damage to your kitchen appliance.
A refrigerator is a home appliance that can’t run completely in silence and should be noisy. But that usual noise shouldn’t disrupt your other daily routine. When your fridge runs correctly, you can hear its sound only if you are at your appliance in the same place. In fact, most new models are so quiet that you can hear only when you open or close your refrigerator door. And when you hear unusual sounds, it doesn’t mean the a problem with your fridge. Most companies and Samsung provide their list of refrigerator noises considered as usual. In this case, they don’t warrant a service call. Nonetheless, if your Samsung refrigerator is annoying or making strange, uncommon noises, you’d like to find the reasons.
Now, let’s discuss the most common reasons why your Samsung fridge makes a loud noise. Based on our experience, our skillful technicians pointed out the following:
The noise is caused by ice buildup around the fan. You can perform the defrost process manually to remove the ice buildup and dispose of the noise, and here the only service will correct the original reason. If only a manual defrost is made, the noise will return later. That is why we recommend service for this issue.
Another thing is when condensation or water collects in an improper place (near the coils) and freezes. Such a problem becomes more compound because the frozen coils prevent airflow throughout, and ice chunks are growing larger. The situation worsens until the compartment turns into a self-contained chunk of ice, and it must be defrosted. If you level your fridge up, this can help. If the refrigerator sags in any direction, this can be the reason for the prevention of water buildup from draining.
Fan malfunction or airflow restrictions somewhere can be the reason as well. When the fan is not operating in a proper way, the air will not circulate where it is required. Moreover, the correct fan function will avoid accumulating extra humidity in the compartment. These can be the cause of the above-mentioned issue.
Move the refrigerator forward approximately 2 inches. If the noise goes away, that indicates the refrigerator was coming in contact with another object, such as the water line or a wall.
