This part works perfectly and resolved my Samsung refrigerator’s problem of keep getting ice build up and finally the fan hitting the ice and make a lot of noise.

worked great. solved the problem/

easy and inexpensive fix

The heating element worked in solving the problem. I could not figure out how to use the plug in thermostat

We had water leaking from somewhere inside, and subsequently an ice buildup on the inside floor, beneath the cool-select pantry, in our Samsung refrigerator. Following an internet search we quickly discovered this was a common issue. We found a couple of excellent YouTube videos that walked us through the replacement of both parts in this package, and since we weren’t sure which part was the culprit (and both parts were being sold together) we changed both. We did have quite a bit more trouble pulling the back wall of our fridge off than appeared in the video, as the styrofoam backing behind the wall was wedged in extremely tightly. We had the exact tool set recommended in the video, but as a result of the necessary pulling and rocking to pull the back wall away, a few small pieces of the styrofoam actually broke away. We were able to fit those pieces back in place with a little Gorilla tape. The actual parts replacement, after removing the back wall, was pretty straightforward. I would suggest having 4 hands available when removing and replacing the back wall, in order to disconnect the electrical clips without damaging the wiring or clips. Anyway, no more leaking water/ice buildup! By the way, the included defrost sensor did not look exactly like the one we replaced (different color sensor and the wire was longer), but we crossed our fingers and installed it anyway and everything seems to be working properly as far as we can tell, and it’s been a couple of weeks now. Good luck!

Help with the freezing issue but the issue came back a few months later

It worked, and it worth it's money.

My Samsung French door refrigerator was leaking water into the well under the crisper drawers - eventually running out under the refrigerator doors and onto the floor. Ugh. This kit includes the "extended$ clip, which must be wrapped tightly around the defrost heater and positioned in the mouth of the drain hole under the evaporator coil. You have to remove all the shelving and partially disassemble your refrigerator to install these parts. It isn't the easiest task - plan an hour to do it. Anyway, the clip is one common cause of the issue I was having. The sensor is another known cause for this same issue, so I like the idea of packaging them as a kit. My kit arrived with TWO sensors and TWO clips, although only one of each was required for my refrigerator. The connector on the new sensor wire didn't exactly match the original, but it mated properly with the socket in the refrigerator, and I checked the electrical resistance of both the new and the original - they were within 10%, so I went ahead and installed the new sensor. Long story short - this kit seems to have solved my problem. The area under my crisper drawers is now bone dry. I'm satisfied.
