Hi. Thank you for your question. This is a VERY common issue with Samsung built units. Even though you defrost it and clear out the drain tube so it is draining water again, the problem will still come back the majority of the time. There is a clip that wraps around the heater and goes into the drain. p#WR51X10105 . Number 30 in the parts diagram that I have attached. This clip should work better than the copper wire to keep it from freezing again. Or you could use p#da61-06796a. This is a longer and wider heater clip that will transfer more heat deeper into the drain. I have attached a link with a picture of this part. Also, if the back panel is damaged, it could cause this to happen. The Styrofoam can get ripped or torn. If it is damaged I recommend replacing it. It is # 97, or 98 in the diagram. Attached are videos on this issue on other models.
