I think you meant the evaporator; ice on the condenser would mean it's running b...

I'll certainly not correct you! I'm not a pro by any means on HVAC and chiller technology. I just came up with a solution, albeit not a "good" one. I do know one thing; I'll never buy Samsung again.

I know, whatever it's called, has copper pipes hooked up to a heatsink, with a blower fan that spreads the chilled air. It's in the bottom of the fridge side, inside the refrigerator chamber.

The failure mode, which is evidently widespread online, is that condensation seizes up the fan blower, stops the fan, and temps rise gradually.

It sounds like a poor design, you can try some things that might keep ice from accumulating,

Fridge outside temperature should be low (~72 f) and outside of direct sunlight.

The evaporation coils need good airflow (a tiny fan can significantly increase efficiency.)

I would verify there is a tight seal around the door and the water drip is clog free.
