Do-It-Yourself Story

To avoid a so called Samsung qualified tech charging us $500 minimum just to look at it, I hit the net. After watching a bunch of YouTube’s and googling fix-techs who turned out to be parts warehouses trying to sell me parts. I started checking what was working and what wasn’t. Both the refrigerator and the freezer didn’t work. Took the back panel off where the PCB’s are. The small inverter board has a red LED light that’s suppose to be on when everything’s working. It was off. Tried to get a trouble code with the LED, still dead. Checked continuity with the compressor, overload switch and all of the wiring for that circuit, that all checked OK. Chatted with Shawn N. with AppliancePartsPros.com and came to the conclusion that the problem was most likely the small inverter board. Ordered the board($138), two days later it arrived and 5 minutes after that my $2500 Samsung RF268ABRF was working! Thank You AppliancePartsPros! Heads Up: when ordering Samsung parts, use the BOM NAME model number, not the actual MODEL NUMBER. Also, check with the “compatibility box” on their site using the BOM NAME model numbers to see if your ordering the correct part.
