Defrost Sensor (Thermistor)
This thermistor monitors the temperature of the evaporator coils to signal the end of the defrost cycle. When it fails or drifts out of calibration, the control board often terminates the defrost cycle prematurely, leaving a layer of frost that eventually accumulates into a thick ice block. This is the most common electronic failure point in Samsung's adaptive defrost logic.

Defrost Heater Assembly
The heater is responsible for physically melting frost off the evaporator fins during the defrost sequence. If the heating element or the integrated thermal fuse fails, the refrigerator will continue to cool but will never clear the frost, eventually restricting airflow and causing visible ice buildup throughout the freezer cabin.

Freezer Door Gasket
The door gasket creates an airtight seal to prevent moisture-laden room air from entering the freezer. If the magnetic seal is torn or deformed, the constant influx of humidity will condense and freeze instantly on the coldest surfaces, creating a 'snow' like frost buildup that the standard defrost cycle cannot keep up with.
