Samsung RF18 leaking - fixed

I know a lot of us motorhome owners have swapped out our Norcold's for Samsung RF18 refrigerators. I have had my Samsung for a couple of years now and noticed water leaking into the bottom of the fridge compartment under the crisper drawers and freezing. I searched the internet and found this was a common problem with french door Samsung refrigerators and there are several YouTube videos on how to curtail the problem.

I won't bore you with details put I performed the easy fix and so far so good. Now to fix the sticks and bricks fridge.

    and you never had to swap out a Norcold fridge either.

    and it doesn't have to be an RF 18 to leak either.

    Samsung fridges have this problem no matter size or where it resides.

    I wasn't aware you had to be a motorhome owner to have a Samsung RF18 refrigerator. I guess I'm in serious trouble since my Montana fiver came from the factory with one!? :W
