Cat urination in drip pan. Need help regarding best practices to clean the drip as it can't be removed from the refrigerator. Any help or suggestions is greatly appreciated.
Hello Derek;
My name is Peter. I am a retired field service refrigeration technician.
In answer to your question, the drain pan is removable. This drain pan is available for purchase. The problem is both Samsung and LG are not service friendly. The drain pan is not secured with fasteners and just lifts up.
However, There is the interference from the seal system (refrigerant) tubing and compressor which prevents you from pulling the drain pan out.
On my service calls with drain pan leakage, I just repaired the drain pan with duct tape an silicone adhesive. Because I could not get the drain pan out with out moving the compressor.
Both, Samsung and LG are the worst service friendly and highest cost for repair.
Testimonial: "Thank you for your help. It would be nice if LG and Samsung put the drip trays in the front of the fridge. Thanks again."
Put baking sodia inyour rip pan. This will help with the odor and cake up tp prevend leaks.

I fixed my problem with the fan not working in the refrigerator section. It ended up being the fan motor. The way I nailed it down was to temporarily switch the wires to the fan motors in the connector on the circuit card. This electrically powered the freezer fan from the refrigerator side and visa versa. The fan still worked in the freezer side (running of the refrigerator circuit) and was still inop on the refrigerator side proving that there was nothing wrong with the circuit card or possible other factors driving that circuit (other than the fan motor). I ordered and installed a new fan motor (about $50) and now everything works fine. It seems that the original problem caused the circuit card to shut down voltage to the bad fan motor that's why when you checked the voltage from the circuit card, it was nill causing you to falsely believe that it was not the fan motor. Yes, I did a resistance check on the fan motor and it was very close to being the same as the freezer motor (same part number).

i would check the magnetic seal around the door to make sure it is not letting air in ...this is the cause of the over freezing.

If you don't have the manual, go to Samsung's website and download the manual. It explains how to remove and adjust the doors and bottom drawer.

Unplug the refrigerator from the power source and remove the decorative vent cover at the bottom of the fridge under the door. Some vent covers are screwed on but many just snap onto clip that hold them in place.
Pull gently on the exposed front edge of the drip pan and ease it out towards you. The drip pan slides on runners on each side of the bottom of the refrigerator. It may be full of liquid or debris so go slow and steady and then discard it.
