15-year old Samsung shitbox
Leaking from the underside of the evaporator cover
First search result says clogged/iced drain
Drain had zero build-up of ice, poured water into it quickly and it never pooled
Cleaned the brittle drain hose, nothing was in it
Any ideas?
Perhaps the evaporator fan needs to be checked
Perhaps the foam that seals the cover has changed shape over the years and need replacing

It the evap coil is getting cold and you don't hear the fan running then it's probably the fan. Does the light turn off when you press the door switch?

I have this exact fridge.
I got rid if it a few years ago.
It started leaking yellowish/red water into the trays, i took apart the back inside right below the fins and the drain area was rusting right through because they were too cheap to make it out of something that didn’t rust. It was clearly planned obsolescence.
I have seen units that used foil tape or stainless in the drain area, so maybe a lawsuit forced the change.
That went on for a few years, then the freezer got warm and I determined that it leaked all the coolant. I tried to refill it with a kit, but it’s banned now, so it was insanely expensive. Scam #2 - keep changing the refrigerants every 10 years.
Anyway, I had to get a new unit, and got the cheapest midea and it’s been great.
