Admiral Refrigerator Repair – Louisville, OH (PFSS6PKXASS)

We received a call about an Admiral refrigerator in Louisville with water leaking from back to underneath deli drawer. This was actually a Samsung refrigerator built for GE, and the defrost drain tab on the fresh food evaporator had become dislodged.

The Problem

The customer reported water leaking from back to underneath deli drawer. Water was pooling underneath the deli drawer compartment, creating a mess and potentially damaging the refrigerator’s interior.

Diagnosis

We found that the defrost drain tab on the fresh food evaporator had become dislodged. This allowed water from the defrost cycle to leak into the refrigerator compartment instead of draining properly to the drain pan underneath the unit.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: DA61-06796A-CLIP-DRAIN EVAP Samsung fridge heat probe-defrost
• Work performed: Cleared the drain, defrosted the evaporator coil and installed a new heat probe
• Result: Water now drains properly with no leaking underneath the deli drawer

Is It Worth Repairing?

Admiral refrigerators from this era were often built by other manufacturers like Samsung, as was the case here. While the brand may not have the premium reputation of some others, a properly functioning defrost system is essential for any refrigerator repair. This particular fix addresses a fundamental cooling system component that, when working correctly, should provide years of reliable service.

Maintenance Tips for Admiral Refrigerators

• Check the defrost drain monthly for clogs or debris that could cause water backup
• Keep the evaporator coils clean by vacuuming behind and underneath the unit every few months
• Monitor for ice buildup in the fresh food compartment, which can indicate defrost system problems
