Thanks for the response and the suggestions. In the meantime, having not being able to persuade Samsung to let me have a Service Manual, I decided to just pitch blindly in and dismantle the rear panel of the fridge section so that, firstly, I could check the sensor and the motor/flap assembly. The sensor was OK. However, the flap hinge was broken meaning that it was unable to close. I undertook a super-glue repair on the hinge housing to see if I could get things going whilst I sourced a new part. And, at the moment, things seem to be running as they should. I find it really frusrating that manufacturers like Samsung not only market poorly designed products but then, deliberately, make it difficult for service engineers, owners, etc to obtain the information required to maintain the appliance. Greed and self-interest rule apparently. Thanks again for your interest.

Greed will get them short term profit. Once they get a bad reputation, they are unlikely to recover. I for one would never buy a Samsung fridge precisely because I have heard for years about problems with their units.

Purchased an entire package when we built our house. Our microwave and washer had warranty service within months. Washer had a recall for exploding lids, it was serviced again. Dishwasher lasted 3 years, it was junk. Stove tried to light itself on fire after 5 years, junk. Dryer died after 6 years more samsung junk. Fridge has had multiple repairs. Fridge and microwave left after 9 years. I will never buy another samsung appliance as long as I live.

Great video. Thanks for the info. My fan broke in that EVAP panel and Samsung has discontinued the part. It is 3.5 years old and unrepairable. I get it that design flaws happen and that parts can break. But Samsungs commitment to the customer is horrible. They offer no recourse at all. No part available, no accommodation and no refund. Worse than the quality of the refrigerator is the absolutely horrible and and incompetent customer service. In looking at the new models, it appears that have abandoned that design and have a redesigned EVAP panel in the newer models. None the less, I will NEVER buy another Samsung product for the rest of my life and would advise others not to as well.

Good video. Our Samsung side-by-side began to have ice maker problems soon after we purchased it. It was repaired under warranty over and over and some of the repairman told us that because of the poor design, the problem would never go away. After the last repair, the ice maker stopped working again in just three weeks. Samsung customer service is the worst thing I've ever had to deal with: a combination of stupidity, lies, and inconsistent policies that we found bewildering--all seeming to come from the Philippines, and the "managers," when we could actually get one on the phone, were useless. After months without an ice maker, we stopped dealing with Samsung. We turned instead back to BestBuy. They listened to our story and immediately offered us a new, high-quality fridge to replace our terrible Samsung. Needless to say, we went with another brand. I will never again purchase a Samsung refrigerator.

Now it's cold in the fridge but the panel outside the fridge is a higher number. I tried resetting it but it's not changing. Well as long as it's cold inside it's fine.

Thanks for a good and useful video. Wish I had known all of this before I purchased a Samsung side by side 'showcase' model. Mine, the RH57H8030 (a UK model) which is five years old, has recently started to run the refrigerator section at around -1 to -2 degrees C whatever setting I select for it. And, of course, everything in there begins to freeze solid. The cause appears to be that there is always cold air coming out of the vents in the refrigerator. That seems to indicate either a faulty temperature sensor (unlikely?) or a stuck-open flap. When I contacted Samsung's customer service section on several occasions in an attempt to order a service manual (which I was prepared to pay for) so that I had the information needed to locate, dismantle and test potential faults, I was just given the run around. That echos superbug1977's comments. They asserted that I could only be provided with the User Manual - despite the fact that I am a professional electronic and control engineer with over 50 years experience! They were, however, prepared to offer me a 25% discount against a new relacement model! So much for any commitment to repair and re-use rather than add to the existing stock of consumer products destined for land-fill. Have you come across the problems I am experiencing with my side by side? I appreciate that the North American model number will be different but from the research I have done so far my model seems similar to the US (and Canada?) RH22H9010SE model. Interested in any views you may have.
@techvillappliancerepair3825
Hi Barry, thanks for watching the video and thanks for the question. I would say main board miscommunicates with an air dumper. According to my experience you need to replace main board, however, Samsung loves to ‘improve’ the electronics and create new and new versions of control boards so I would recommend to replace both main board and air dumper motor. Also, anytime you replace main board it’s better to install new temperature sensor.

Hi Garrik. Great videos that shows a lot of skills, knowledge and experience. I have a Samsung RSG257AARS fridge and have a problem. The fridge and the freezer work fine and the ice maker too. The issue is that when I open the door from the freezer, the display turns off and the ice dispenser flat opens and closes continiously. Only when I close the door from the freezer, the display turns on again and the flap stops at the close position as it should. The ice worker itself works fine. TI have arleady replaced the diplay/control panel but the issue remains. Can you help? Many thanks and greetings from Florida. Udo

This is a problem with almost all home appliance nowadays, they don't want them to last over 10 years. They expect us to change and buy new ones within a range of 5 to 10 years. A toaster or water boiler probably on the sooner range and more expensive/bigger appliances near the 10 years edge. Some known issues need to be there as well to keep insurance companies happy, companies and retailers get commissions selling those insurances and some of them (the big names) have their own insurance writer. it's a business matter rather than a know-how/engineering issue.

We have a 3 and a 1/2 year old French door refrigerator from this company. It's 3 and a 1/2 years old. I think we had 2 issues that were not entirely related to each other that happened in August, Thismakes me wonder if it had a power surge--this broke things down internally and more quickly? The power inverter went out and then very soon after working on the power inverter, we had the common issue with the evaporator water problem develop. Then replaced all of that as well as adding an additional 15W heating element over the evaporator itself. We then resealed the whole panel and trid to beef that whole area up-- then clean the coils and replace the evap tubing next to those coils. Within 5 days of revamping the system, it now makes a rattling sound each time the compressor is finished at night. Seems to be going from liquid to gas state. Can you make a suggestion to keep the compressing system or seal system from making this rattling/ farting sound? TY

I've got a Samsung top freezer model # RT21M6213 SR/AA that is approx 5 years old. What sold us on this model was the feature that allows conversion of the top freezer into just a refrigerator. WE gained the top space for storage because we have an upright freezer in our basement. This past week our refrigerator stopped cooling and when a service tech came out it was determined we had a coolant leak and the fix was new evaporator coil and that was going to be $1200 US. 5 years ago we only paid $800 for this unit so yesterday we went out and purchased a simple Whirpool top freezer unit and it will be delivered tomorrow. It was fun while it last SAMSUNG and we are very disappointed!! Your videos are interesting so I am now a subscriber!

Hello, great video! I have a Samsung model RS66A8101S9 Double door, no ice maker. The fridge works fine. The freezer is a disaster. Supposed to work at -23 degrees C. The actual temperature differs between -10 and +3 I had the temperature sensor replaced, the fan replaced and even the PCB replaced, but the problem is still the same. The fan doesn't seem te be starting at same times. The lower parts of the freezer are warmer than the upper part. Any idea what might cause this? I live in Sri Lanka and brought the Samsung with me in a sea container. No warranty, although it is less than 1 year old.

You are correct on these. After a lot of time doing diagnostics on my rf18hfenbsr the defrost htr will not come on. The codes pointed to the htr itself I replaced it but that is not it and the sensor ohms checked good against the chart. Putting it in Fd mode will not bring it on either and while in that mode it will not send ac voltage to the new htr. May the main board?? I replaced all the gasket on the Evap panel and the drain htr tab while I had it off. No power to the htr when in Fd and using the magnets to fool the refrigerator while testing with doors open? What to do it’s in a motorhome and I’m on the rd. Currently I thaw it out about every week with hair dryer. I haven’t pulled it out yet to check flashing codes on the board???

my Samsung refrigerator no longer has any control for the temperatures of the freezer or the refrigerator. That control display is at the top when you open the doors and has 6 buttons and 2 visual displays of the two areas it is supposed to be controlling. Will replacing this panel fix this or do I need to replace the main board in back as well? It has been like this for years and it is still keeping things cold and frozen so I can manually verify with a laser temp probe if the temperatures are within the acceptable range. However it recently wasted the entire freezer as someone must have left the bottom freezer door open and it melted all the food

I have an RL40PGPN fridge freezer which isn't cooling properly and is flashing E2. I removed the back panel inside the freezer compartment and it was all iced up. So, I melted the ice off with my heat gun and replaced the panel. The freezer is now working fine. However, the fridge compartment is not cooling. Could it be the temperature sensor? I've removed the back panel in the fridge and the two terminals that I assume are for the sensors appear to be ok (no loose connections/kinks etc). I purchased this only a couple of months ago - used but in great condition - so I dont really want to spend more money on an engineer or another one as it already cost me a lot of money. Im quite capable of dealing with it myself but obviously need to diagnose the issue so I can source the correct part. Any help would be much appreciated

Humid air intrusion into ice compartment is a contributor, but main issue is design of fixed ice tray with rotating plastic fingers to eject frozen ice cubes. Water is poured into fixed position ice tray by a timed valve opening. If you have greater water pressure you get more water, overflowing tray. When plastic fingers rotate out ice from fixed tray some ice chips remaining in tray so next water fill overflows tray. The amount of fracturing ice chips in tray has some dependency on the mineral content of your water supply. All the overflow is primary reason for all the ice buildup around and below ice tray. Defroster is not designed to melt the large overflow blocks of ice. Many other manuf, refrig's rotate the ice tray upside down and then defrost it so no ice chips remain in tray.

I have an 11 yr old Samsung French door model. Already have had to install a metal extension that keeps drain line in the middle near bottom of fridge compartment from freezing, this has worked although I still need to occasionally ave to use a hairdryer to defrost this drain line manually. The ice maker has stopped freezing. The water will flow in when activated, but does not freeze in the icing compartment. Guessing based on RU-vid videos and self diagnosing, but I think it is a fan in back that blows cold air into 'ice room'. I could probably figure it out, but It looks really hard to fix and would need to take out all freezer drawer and back cover to get into it. So we've been using ice cube trays instead of trying to fix it. What I like is even cooling temps in the fridge area, with no freezing except if I place item in the middle bottom near back wall air outlets. I want to replace before it craps out completely, and the repair will probably be too expensive for the age of appliance.

Hi, thanks for posting this.. so I do have a Samsung fridge that i bough in 2014. As of late, I started to see brown flakes appearing in the 2 drawer where ice would normally be made. BTW, my water line is not connected, so I don't make. A technician came and he said it was the rubber surrounding the capillary line on the evaporator that was disintegrating. He removed the black rubber on the evaporator but i still continue to see brown flakes. Now I am being told I may need an evaporator cover. Have you come across this? Thanks.

We pulled our 2nd Samsung in 7 years, out of it's place to remove some debris underneath and some dust. When we tried to put it back, the freezer quit working. We found we had locked the controls. However, the freezer still wouldn't work. As long as the freezer was below the set temp of the refrigerator, the frig stayed at its temp, but the freezer would not cool. Since this is our second Samsung in so few years, we bought a Whirlpool. Not sure they are any better, but we've have good look with them in the past. So long Samsung!!!

Hello Gugulethu, thanks for watching and thanks for the question. Not sure which gas bottle is always empty.

Hi, so I have a Samsung fridge in the garage as a spare and for a while now the fridge has been unable to get cold enough to match the thermostat setting that is programmed. For example, I may have it set to be at 44 degrees, but the fridge will show 56 degrees and drinks aren't cold enough to enjoy. The seals along the door look fine and good, the fridge is far enough from the back wall, and it doesn't look like anything is blocking the interior back Twin Cooling vents. I do think I see frost building up through the interior vents of the Twin Cooling panel. Is that likely the issue as shown in your video?

Very good video, thank you! What else should I be testing on my RS2545SH? The compressor starts for about 10 seconds and then stops. Is an alternate way to reset the motherboard, from, say, directly on the motherboard? Unplugging and plugging back in isn't working. Doing the POWER FREEZE and POWER COOL process for 8-10 seconds isn't working. 1) I am able to see a 2-3 degrees F drop in the freezer evaporator coils during Power Freeze mode, but nothing better that small delta change. 2) Resetting the board Power Freeze + Power Cool for 10 seconds all appears normal. 3) The fuse on the motherboard has continuity. 4) Putting the appliance into Force Function mode FF FF, FO, rd, Fd and waiting 5-10 minutes does nothing to cause the compressor to come on for any extended period of time. 5) I have tested the resistance of the thermal sensors in the freezer and fresh food sections between 5.6k - 6.6k Ohms at different room temps., and over 13k Ohms when the sensor is placed in ice water. 6) A continuity test of the thermal fuses in both the freezer and fresh food sections shows both have continuity. 7) Both fans in the freezer and fresh food sections are spinning freely. 8) There is no ice build-up on either evaporator coils. 9) Error codes keep changing. Was first 1, 4, 6, 8, 10, 13, and 14. Then was 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 13, 14 when I changed thermal sensors out for new ones. This problem began when someone left the freezer door ajar for an extended period of time. The food at the top section of the freezer warmed, as the lower section remained frozen due to the ice build-up on the evaporator coils. The food in the fresh food section warmed. I am wondering if there is a better way to reset the motherboard... or what else I should be testing.

I have the type of model fridge you show in the video and I'm experiencing the freeze up issue. But I'm wondering why replacing the evaporator cover assembly actually fixes the issue, if the underlying problem is poor design. Any thoughts? I've already paid quite a bit of money trying to repair the fridge (drain kit replacement, sensor change out), and trying to figure out if it is just time to get a new one. Sadly, our Samsung is only 7 years old.
@techvillappliancerepair3825
Hello, thanks for watching and thanks for the question. Based on the information you have provided the issue with your Samsung fridge is exactly what we have shown in the video. Ice build up happens due to a temperature difference in evaporator area (cold) and inner compartment (warm). You need to replace evaporator cover because insulation is worn out and apply extra insulation material on entry level of the evaporator so decrease temperature difference as much as possible. Replacing sensors or drain kit is useless (sorry to hear that you have already spent time and money on that).

Hello Garrik. I have a Samsung Fridge/Freezer Model RF22KREDBSG/AA. The fridge temperature is controlling fine but the freezer temperature is only about the same as the fridge temperature. When I disconnect power for 30 minutes, after plugging back in both freezer and fridge temperatures appear to indicate the correct ambient temperatures and when the compressor runs the temperatures come back down to what I expect to be the correct temperatures (-18C & 3C) but the freezer is not as cold as indicated. There is no frost or humidity developing in the freezer and the evaporator area is not frozen with lots of ice, just a minor amount at the top which I believe to be expected. Red indicator light is solid (no blinking). I have changed the freezer temperature sensor with no positive results. Any further suggestions?

Samsung's closest repair center was about 2 hours away and I would have to take it there to get it serviced. I lived in Seattle so not exactly some little town. I did not get it services but but my 20 something year old Kenmore washer back to work. Some years later I disassembled the back of the Samsung to discover that they dropped machine screw into the motor and left it there. The screw damaged the windings. I bought a new outer motor part for about $100 and fixed the washer.

I'm in US and have Samsung french door twin cooling plus model RF4298HA that's worked perfect for 11yrs until suddenly 2 weeks ago it stopped freezing newly added food, ice cream and frozen juice. Food already frozen in bottom drawer stayed frozen but new food in top drawer thawed and won't freeze.I didn't check back under panel. Need to do that. If it frosts up there, are you saying it will frost up again (once thawed) within a couple weeks? What causes it to suddenly frost up? I wondered if it my freezer issues may be the temp sensor and fan for freeze? The fridge cools perfectly and it drops ice cubes only when I turn power off and back on to reset. Since my Samsung fridge was so dependable for 11 yrs, I decided to purchase a new Samsung, but they appear to have major communication problems with customers. I couldn't get them to postpone or cancel my order so I can research my issues further. After finding videos to check more areas to possibly repair, I'm hopefully I can get freezer to work again.

We will shoot a video about that soon. 2 - In case you wanna fix existing one I would suggest you to call a tech, this issue has to be diagnosed properly (hopefully, it’s a minor issue). After 10 years the probability of a major issues with Samsung fridge goes straight up so probably a new fridge is not a bad idea.

Hi DK, thanks for watching and thanks for the question. These models have good design. But it’s too early to see any issues with 2021 models. We may have better idea in a couple of years from now

Yep. I had problems with the ice maker right off the bat. I would never buy another Samsung refrigerator (or stove). I bought a countertop ice maker, to use until the refrigerator finally dies, which probably won't take too long.

My problem on my Samsung French door ref :- Is clogged drain and the Evaporator fan motor making loud noise , Finely end up in clogging the drain line and bypassing the Evaporator fan motor plug . So I cut out the plug and soldered the three wire extended and installed a new fan motor . So far it is running ok . It is been almost week and half. Now. I will give an update on it later.

I have a Samsung RF23HCEDTSR bottom freezer french door with dual icemakers and twin cool refrig section. My problem is lately it is freezing food on top shelf in refrig and on door. The display indicates the temp is 44 degrees but inside temp is 30-35 degrees on top shelf 35-37 on lower shelves, I changed sensor in refrig section, still have same problem. The evaporator doesn't have ice buildup. Why does the display say 44 when its 30-36 inside. Is there another sensor that tells the micro what the temp is inside the refrig section.

Hi Hank, thanks for watching and thanks for the question. Usually, you need to replace temperature sensor and main control board to resolve the issue like this one.

Should the heater element come on with the cover off and on Force Defrost?

Hi, I noticed some water coming from back wall were the screws going in . I installed Samsung drain kit , installed additional defrost heater to prevent ice buildup, replaced drain hoses. But water is still buildup on bottom of the fridge. Could you give me advice?
@techvillappliancerepair3825
Hi Vadim, thanks for watching and thanks for the comment. Try to defrost the drain line and check drain outlets near the compressor. If it is clogged, clean it.

My 3 year old side by side Samsung fridge was not cooling properly on the fridge side BUT the freezer was ok. The repair guy says it is the thermistor. He also used a hairdryer to defrost the back panel in the freezer. After the did that and put it back together and wait for the part, both sides began to work fine. Now, the top of the freezer and fridge are too warm but the bottom portions are fine. Does this sound like something more than a thermistor issue? I already paid him $200 US dollars and want to avoid more $$ if he is not on the right track! Thanks!!

Hi Jennifer, thanks for watching and thanks for the question. If you have a dual cooling system that might be completely different issue than it was from the very beginning. Unfortunately, it’s possible that after thermistor replaced something else pops up (already been a problem) on top of that. I would recommend to contact the same tech and ask him to evaluate the situation on site again.
