Cheers I'll post it on FB and craigslist for $100 or so. If someone wants it for that cool, if someone just wants it for free....that's cool too.

The freezer fan is whats causing the issue. Ice builds up and the freezer fan freezes up. Have to remove the ice maker and manually defrost it.
It's still a pain in my ass.
I never knew you were supposed to clean coils once per year tho. Will definitely be doing that with my new whirlpool I just got, hoping to squeeze 10+ years out of it and want to take care of it.
Fridges are expensive as hell these days, much like everything else. $1100 for a basic ass whirlpool fridge and my wallet is not happy with me, but you gotta do what you gotta do.

Believe me, I'm well aware. Samsung fridge has been nothing but frustration. Never again.
I bought a whirlpool and hope to have it for 10+ years with little to no issues...
Unfortunately just moved out of the city last year so can't just alley dump it and let the scrappers have at it.
At this point I'm angry just looking at it, ready to have it gone ASAP lmao

thank you so much for the detailed review! i’ve def had my eyes on The Yoga Dojo and am waiting for them to release summer 2023 details. I decided to take a gap year between undergrad and grad school, and do YTT in the meantime as i feel like that’s my calling. definitely might PM you as I’m curious about your experience !

Only downside of the scrappers is they tend to just vent the refrigerant to the atmosphere, and while the modern stuff is way better than the r12 that was used until the mid 90's, it still isn't great for the environment.
OP, there could be a million things causing it to freeze over like that, from a damper malfunction (that control how cold air flows through the refrigerator), to the defrost circuit failing, but one thing that you might try and is one of the most overlooked areas of refrigerator maintenance is cleaning the coil. Most manufactures suggest doing it at least once a year, but most people I know never do it. (The same goes for your HVAC system, the outdoor coil for your AC/Heat Pump should be cleaned annually). Enter your model number and "how to clean the coil" and you should be able to find some videos on how to do it, but with many modern refrigerators, it's accessible from the grill at the bottom of the fridge...
...Edit: actually, it might be a giant pita to clean it, I just searched some Samsung models and the coil may only be accessible from the back of the fridge. I wish you luck...

Are you sure you’re not confusing FFA with FCA? FFA in my high school (Culpeper) had nothing to do with religion and if any of them did I would expect Culpeper to…but everyone in school was very careful to only use the abbreviation FCA even though it stands for Fellowship of Christian Athletes

Craiglist for cheap, someone will come get it for beer fridge or rental.

More? Sure. Technically necessary? Not actually.

I know this probably isn't helpful but it's totally worth driving to Annandale for korean bbq. If you do make the short journey then I'd suggest Kogiya.

One-time Samsung fridge owner here: Take care of your mental health and just get rid of it asap. Great if you can get $20 but if you’re in the city you can drag it to the alley and scrappers will find it pretty quick.

No one is saying to ban this type of book, but rather to not litter and use a community donation box for smut. No one wants to see your used jerk it material.

You do need to observe setback from property line. There's a PDF link at the bottom of that page regarding the zoning requirements on that.
If you have further questions, call or email them at the addresses at the bottom of that page. They're generally pretty responsive.

Thanks for the recommendation, leecanbe! I'm always looking for fun ways to stay active and connect with people in the community. Do you know when Stonewall Richmond will announce their spring yoga schedule?

I guess it falls under on grade patio if it’s under a certain ground level height
