Bill Hodge for Model Number rfg297hdrs/xaa my 6 year old samsung refrigerator only goes down to 50 in fridge but freezer is at 0 degrees. so far have changed the fan motor both temp sensors inside the fridge compartment and still had problem then I did not disconnect electrically but did pull the damper out leaving its wiring connected this did help as the pantry area can go down tot 45. I measured the thermostat resistance and at room temp it had continuity but according to info from one of your web sites it should be open and only continuity when too cold so does this mean I should change the thermostat??? also get water in pantry area
Answer Bill with water in the pantry area it tells me you have a clogged defrost drain. The drain may also be causing the cooling issue as it builds up ice on the evaporator. remove the evaporator cover in the back of the fridge and clear the drain. Otherwise, you could have a defrost issue as well, check your heater, sensors, and control board. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Tuesday, August 4, 2020
