I have a Samsung fridge and there is a problem that causes water to pool in the meat/vegetable trays. It's very simple - a tube in the back behind a panel takes run-off under the fridge. But this drain runs past the freezer, so it freezes solid eventually and overflows. It took quite a while to work out the first time but YouTube came to the rescue.
The fix is apparently replacing or extending the stupid little piece of metal they attached that is meant to transfer heat into the pipe. Instead we add a longer copper wire or something that goes deeper and conducts better. Doing this only costs only a few dollars more (currently, I've simply poured hot water down there to unclog it twice in ~6 years but next time it's getting the wire).

Probably better to use the hair dryer to avoid overflowing the pan.
