Samsung Fridge Freezing up ***%^$$#@!!! and possible solution

[OHJEEZE]

And my one buddy was trying to tell me how much better we have it in the computer age!

My fridges and freezers are all older, I think everyone 20+.

My stove / oven, not so much, 8 years old, computer controlled oven! Oven cant work if the power is out.

Sometimes the oven lights up readily, but I have saw it take 20 minutes to 45 minutes to light up!

Personally give me back the old pilot light!
At least the old ovens worked without electric, and would light in less than 1 minute religiously!

Never did like, or get much longevity out of a Samsung anything (TV, fridge, etc.). Somebody needs to make a fridge equivalent to a Speed Queen washer.

Could be low on freon and that's the reason of the frost buildup.

So far over a month has passed and it has not goofed up.
Knock on wood.

I eliminated the wide gap in the lower freezer door seal by placing a washer under the bracket that attaches the door to the roller slides.

The seal at the bottom of the freezer door was severely compressed and the top of the seal was not touching or sealing at all allowing moisture to enter the unit.

Just like a deep freeze with a bad/leaking door seal it will develop frost/ice.
