I have a Samsung RF197ACRS with the same problem. Replaced the heater clip but that didn’t work. Checked the drain tubes which were clear, still same problem. What I did notice before this problem started, when I’d close the freezer drawer, I could hear either a little motor or noise for about 3 seconds then stop. This particular function stopped about the same time the water started forming in the fridge. Any idea what that noise is?

Thank you! Good clear, complete instructions.
Only ice I ran into was on the upper screw holding the panel. Made no sense why ice would be there.
I believe the water in the crisper drawers because the drain gutter was pushed in (towards the back of the fridge). I rolled them out, hopefully it resolves the issue.

In reply to peter whiting.

hi
i have the same problem with dirt except it was coming from the front top screw area shown in the evaporator clip replacement. Is there a video showing how to access and clean the back three drain tubes? Also, someone mentioned unclogging the drain pipe below the front evaporator clip. Is this an easy fix? Not sure where to buy the front replacement evaporator clip shown in the video. Do you know where this is sold. Local stores don’t have it where i live

Thanks for your help

I have cleaned my drain tubes they were not clogged, widened the gap on them also. I replaced the clip and the yellow temperature wire but I am still getting water. Any other ideas on what I can do to solve this issue? It’s very frustrating. TIA

Not the problem with mine. No ice build up and no plugged drain tubes but water still leaks under the crispers.

In reply to Oli. We’ve had the same problem since we bought it. Did everything u guys have done to no avail. Had a tech look at it, changed clip, cleaned drain hose. Nothing works. Called company several times. Even if we’re gone for 3 weeks with no one opening the door, we come back to 1/4 inch thick ice under drawers, almost to the point of the drawers being frozen in place. Next thing that will happen is the drawers will break as we try to open them while they’re frozen in ice. Junk junk, will never buy another Samsung product ever.
