Tim for Model Number Samsung Fridge RF260BEA/AA Fridge quit cooling - was able to get 81 E error code - had repairman come out - at this point , no error code and when you plugged it in, it would just go through diagnostics and cut itself off. He said the blower fan and condenser were not starting and the main board was bad. Based on the cost he quoted, I declined - and ordered the main PCB from Appliance Parts Pro - delivery excellent, by the way. Replaced the board and not when I plug it in, it gives the 81 E error code. My research shows compressor starting failure error. Any ideas?
Answer Tim, You will want to check to see if there is a short between the compressor terminals. If this checks ok then the power control board would be the issue and would need to replace the power board. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Wednesday, September 21, 2016
