Thomas October 19, 2022 for Model Number rf221nctaww/aa it is 10 years old. The freezer is at minus 14 degrees F and up to 10 during defrosting. But the fridge will not go below 48? The damper works and the fan also works. I've changed the thermistors in the fridge and freezer with no effect along with the main control board also with no effect. the control panel button for the freezer and fridge do scroll up the LEDs but have no effect on the temperature. So any ideas? is it worth fixing given its age? I'm hesitant to replace the compressor control board and then have the compressor go out.
1 Answer Thomas, the door gaskets would need to be inspected for any gaps that could be allowing warm air in. If there are no air gaps, the next step would be inspecting the vents in between the refrigerator and freezer to identify if either of the air return vents are blocked up or partially blocked. If these things check ok, it is likely that the evaporator fan DA31-00334C is not operating properly. Read More...
Gumboflower August 29, 2021 for Model Number RF261BEAESP/AA-0001 This is my last attempt at trying to fixing this refrigerator! Evaporator cover started showing ice coming out of the little holes and temp in fridge running about 50 degrees. Freezer section is doing fine. Took off the cover after melting all of the ice with warm water, Checked the ohms on the temp sensor and heating element, those were good. Thought it might be the thermostat, so replaced that....still iced up and started running warm again after a few weeks. Now thinking it the main circuit board not controlling the defrost cycles. What do you think? What could I be missing? Please help!
1 Answer Gumboflower, based on the information provided, the failure would very likely be the main control DA92-00384D as the defrost heater, thermostat, and thermistors are checking good. Read More...
Maria July 01, 2020 for Model Number RF263TEAESRAA Samsung refrigerator The refrigerator only cools to 44 degrees after a lot of noise. I can see ice on the holes of the inside panels. I have been told that I need to replace the PCB (don't know what that is) and the evaporator sensor, parts and labor $530.00. Can't afford it, no job because of Covid. Where can I get the parts and have someone else do it. The person who checked it only looked inside the fridge and gave me the diagnosis.
1 Answer Maria, The part number for the main control board that would be needed is DA92-00384A and the sensor will be part number DA32-10104N. The main control board will be located on the back of the unit and to change this you will pull the unit out, remove the big panel on the left middle of the back and disconnect the refrigerator from the wall. Once this is done you would disconnect the wires from the old board and install it on the new board. For the sensor, you would need to take all the shelving out of the unit and remove the center back panel by taking the screws loose at the bottom and one at the center top of the center rail. The sensor will have yellow wires and will be attached to the evaporator which is the silver piece behind the wall. Read More...
Matt Schill April 02, 2020 for Model Number samsung rf260beaesr/AA 05 Hi, I have a samsung rf260beaesr/aa 05. I started out with fridge evaporator icing up. I have replaced the coil and sensor in there. Still getting ice up after some months use. I have had to thaw it out multiple times. It seems to work fine after thawing, but the temp control has gone downhill. Currently thawed out, the fridge is warm-like 40 or more while set at 35 and the freezer seems to be too cold such as set at 5, actual temp -5. Or set at -5 and actual is -15. I can push power cool and the fridge temp goes right down to 35. not sure what to check next. Thanks Matt
1 Answer Matt, This issue sounds like it would be caused by a control board that is not reading the sensors in the refrigerator properly and would need to replace the control board. Read More...
Bryan June 21, 2019 for Model Number rf260beaesr/AA My refrigerator cools but my freezer doesnt. My fan in the freezer isn't running, I replaced the fan motor and the temp sensor. Neither fixed the issue. Does anyone have any ideas what else it could be?
1 Answer Hello Bryan, This will most likely be caused by a failed main control board DA92-00384E. Read More...
Chuck June 20, 2019 for Model Number rf220nctaww Samsung Rf220nctaww freezer compartment was iced over enough to make the evaporator fan rattle. The temperature rose to 60 *. Unplugged unit and let defrost. After start it cools to 30+/- then rises back up to 40 to 50. Had diagnostic code F4. Damper opens and closes and the evaporator fan starts after a 14 second delay when the refrigerator doors open and are closed. Had f1-f2-f3-f4 diagnostic lights on at last diagnostic test.
1 Answer Chuck, you will want to test the sensors in the freezer section by accessing the main control at the back of the unit. At the main control, with a multimeter set to DC voltage, you will want to test the ambient sensor by placing the red probe of a multimeter on connection CN78 pin 8 to pin 12 with the black probe. The voltage reading should be between 1 to 4.5VDC. If this fails, then the main control is bad. You will then want to test the freezer sensor from CN30 pin 4 to CN78 pin 7 for the resistance values of 10823ohms at 41 degrees to 8867 ohms at 50 degrees. If the resistance fails to read accordingly, then the freezer thermistor has failed. The freezer defrost sensor would then be checked at CN30 pin 5 to CN78 pin 7 and it should read greater than 15076 ohms with the evaporator frozen up. If these all check good, then the defrost heater and bi-metal would need to be tested directly at the heater assembly and it should have a resistance of 63 ohms. If any of these components have failed, they would need to be replaced. If these components have all passed testing, then the likely cause would be the main control. The revision number of your refrigerator would be needed for accurate part numbers in regards to which part number would be needed for repair. Read More...
Robin September 13, 2018 for Model Number RF26HFENDSR/AA The evaporator fan motor is not getting the 12v it needs to run.
1 Answer Hello Robin, This can be a harness issue or a failed power supply on the main board DA92-00384C. Read More...
Janelle September 07, 2017 for Model Number RS25J500DSR/AA I bought a brand new Samsung Refrigerator . Plug it in and nothing but lights work. No cooling and no fan. The water works but no ice. I have suspected it to be the control board. I have searched parts on here but all i have seen was the Inverter board. I have seen that but there is also a large green board in the panel as well. Any idea what that is or a model number. Thanks
1 Answer Janelle, The part number for the main control board on this unit will be DA92-00625D. Read More...
Dan August 29, 2017 for Model Number samsung rsg257aars/xaa 0004 Fridge won't dispense water or ice (but makes ice). replaced inlet valve and dispenser switch. likely cause? I just got a pba main from you folks but when I opened box there was nothing similar -- just an assembly pcb inverter board (seemingly). 1. is it likely the pcb main? 2. where is that located
1 Answer Dan, The main control board would be DA41-00524A but it would be more likely that the filter head is the issue with the ice and water not working. Read More...
Tim September 18, 2016 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?
1 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...
