Oka M for Model Number Samsung Side-By-Side Refrigerator Model # RS2577SL After coming back from vacation I discovered the fridge has stopped working. All the contents of the fridge had to be disposed of (freezer and fridge). Now, we are dealing with the nasty smell. SYMPTOM (AC plugged in): - Fridge not running. - With ear on the fridge, I can hear a little continuous humming. - Fridge is not ‘kicking-in’ to start - Unplugged for five minutes and plugged back. - Unplugged for more than twenty-four hours, plugged back in and still not running. - At the same time, pressed and held the FREEZER TEMP and the FRIDGE TEMP button for some time, all panel lights started flashing, then set the freezer temperature to -4 degrees and the fridge to 34 degrees, and within one second, both temperatures changes to 73 and 63 respectively. SYMPTOM (AC unplugged): - About every twenty minutes, I can hear from the back of the fridge a “swooooching” sound that lasts for about one second. It sounds like the 18-wheeler’s brake air discharge (though not as loud as the truck’s). Just spoke with one of technicians and he was suspecting it could be the board. How about the relay also? Since it does not ‘start’, I guess the relay is ruled out. Yes, I read the other questions people posted and could not find one exactly like mine. Thanks.
