Awesome video, We have a Samsung same style and all besides the model # RF4287HARS My issue with mine. that it is not cooling.. Power went out and once it kicked back on. something must of happened. Compressor overload, caused it to run hot. pulled out the fridge and accessed the back panel to compressor and fan. shut the breaker off, and cleaned and inspected the coils.ran for a few hours and temp still didnt drop. I did not think to open up this back panel. I shut off the breaker and left the fridge off for a full 24hrs. Do you think there isice bloackage still even tho i didnt do what you just did. i just let it thaw out on its own wirth the power off
I’ve had these problems. Defrosted then I installed new temp probes and even spray foam to help. But my fridge never hit ideal temp 38-40. Always between 42 - 48 (danger zone) I took off back panel and removed all the foam and left only the fan. Reinstalled and it works like a champ! Bad design is the problem.
Excellent. Thank you very much. Mine was exactly like yours. I did it but the first and second time i didn't got the normal screen, until the third time. Then I saw your video over again. Thanks!!!
Just did this today. I bought a defrost booster which I installed that sits right where the ice forms to hopefully avoid having this issue again. This is the 2nd or 3rd time it’s happened to me.
Two things - one, because we're talking about my truck/work here, I would test the speakers before putting the panel back! Second, maybe get some Dynamat behind those speakers since you have everything open anyway?
I mean drain pump motor n it still aint draining n swoped pump wires last time it worked this is the 4th motor in a year but the wife does 10 loads of laundry a day for no reason
Just wondering, if I put the refrigerator in defrost from the panel, how long do I leave it in forced defrost? I really don’t want to have to remove inside panel if I can help it. Thanks
@1:55 You don't actually need to pull off that shelf track, just the screws. Also, I have a similar fridge with a screw missing on the bottom right side, same as yours. Interesting, a special Samsung feature? I agree, I don't recommend this fridge; it looks nice and has bells and whistles but the quality is crap. Thanks to your video and videos like yours for the info; otherwise, it would be a nightmare to fix it yourself.
Thanks for the post, mine is beeping now. We r looking for new fridge probably a ge, never samsung again. I only get ice when i push the reset button on the ice machine. Second icemaker now.
If I just unplug it for a couple of days and let it get to room temp aka defrost will that fix the problem or do I still have to do all of these steps? For the record I had about 2 full buckets of water come out of it when I turned it off. Also I can hear some fans running but the freezer is not cooling... fridge part is 3 degrees off it's target (39 to 36) so I'm guessing that's why I don't notice a difference up there.
Hi, Chris. I’ve been your subscriber for long time and always enjoyed your videos. Today I have simple question: how to replace batteries in Mercedes cla250 year 2014? There are 2 batteries: main and auxiliary. Do I have to replace both at once? And is there something else that needs to be done rather then just disconnect old battery and connect new one? Do I have to check car computer for errors after replacement? Thank you so much in advance.
This video is outstanding! It provides a straightforward fix for the Samsung refrigerator not cooling problem, making it accessible to beginners. Plus, we have premium Samsung refrigerator spare parts available.
Did all of the fixes in this video but after about 2 months the fan is making noise again. You can tell that it's hitting ice in there. The fridge is still holding temp, but not sure for how long. Anyone else experience this?
This time I did take apart the whole component that houses the fridge fan because the air vents going all the way down to the bottom or clogged with ice as well and I think that's why the second time it got clogged so fast
I ended up getting a 3rd party heater kit and resealing up everything. I also wrapped a coil of wire around the heater at the bottom and put it in the drain hole to keep it from an ice blockage. A few months and it's been holding temp without any fan noise 🤞
Thank you, Chris!! All of a sudden refrigerator was 60 to 65° and I could not figure it out. I just went through these steps and sure enough once I removed that back panel, there was a huge block of ice above the grill and on the fan. You just saved me a every expensive service call of prob $300+ Thank you!! 🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍
I didn't even know Samsung made fridges. I've had GE (before they sold their major appliance division), Whirlpool and Maytag (before Whirlpool bought them). I need some honest opinions on Samsung and LG reliability.
@@smezz049 I see what you mean. I went to Lowe's and asked the person in appliances what's the one brand he gets the most customers coming back with complaints about. Bingo! Samsung!
I purchased a Samsung washer/dryer, fridge, microwave and dishwasher. Washer got a dent the 1st day it was delivered. Dishwasher got a dent within a week and died at 5 yrs even though it was $1300 . I would have been better off just buying a $400 GE. The fridge's ice maker stopped working at 8 months but I didn't bother getting it fixed since we didn't use it very much and by online reviews seemed to be a reoccurring problem. Now 10 years later the compressor is started to act up. Overall I have not been pleased with Samsung they seem to have a functional obsolescence built into them. They are not like our Kenmore, Maytag or GE appliances we had before that EASILY lasted 15 -20 yrs+
Anyone reading this…do not buy Samsung refrigerators. I made the mistake of spending $3000+ on one 3 years ago. It’s already not working. Warranty sucks…it’s only for 1 year. It’s been a nightmare dealing with support. 3 days later, I’m still waiting for someone to come and fix it. Should’ve stuck with Whirlpool. That thing lasted much longer without problems
@@d05wtt I believe it. I wound up asking someone in the appliance department of a Home Depot, "what's the one brand you get the most customer complaints about?" He said Samsung. I wound up with an LG. So far no issues.
