Fazal December 08, 2014 for Model Number Samsung RS2530BWP My freezer side is not defrosting and trying to narrow down the problem. 2) Opened the panel, removed Defrost Thermostat and placed in ice and checked the for continuity. My Volt meter started to change numbers and stopped at 0.3 and sometime 0.2. Please advise if this means faulty part. 2) I see two parts on this website which I am confused about as to which one samsung RS2530BWP uses and how to test if the one I have is faulty. a) Samsung Refrig Temperature Bar DA32-00029A b) Samsung Refrig Sensor DA32-00006W Thanks in advance.
1 Answer Fazal, The part that would be needed would most likely be the refrigerator sensor part number DA32-10105R. The reading that you got sounds like it is way off and this would be the most likely cause for the failure. Read More...
Victor September 24, 2014 for Model Number Samsung friged Ray, Would you please tell me, how does the work of the defrost thermostat is related to that of the Timer in the defrosting process. Apperently both work independently.
1 Answer Hello Victor. The timer starts the defrost cycle and the thermostat is a safety device there for protection to keep the heater from overheating and damaging the unit. Read More...
Deerends September 23, 2014 for Model Number 2 door commercial freezer I built a room to cool off smoked meats, I installed a freezer's cooling system minus the defroster and the temperature control got bent and then hissed so it no longer works. Currently I have a switch to turn the unit on and it starts the compressor and the fans run. The problem is it does not get cold like it did when I removed it from the commercial freezer. It only has to run for an hour or so for the meat to cool and I do not intend on running it long periods. What is up, does the temperature control need to be in the system or is it something else
1 Answer Deerends, The thermostat would most likely be the cause for the issue with the unit not cooling enough. If the unit is not cooling at all you will want to check to make sure that the system does not have a sealed system leak as with the hissing noise that is the potential. Read More...
Enrique July 03, 2014 for Model Number Samsung rs261mdpn The freezer side it's not cooling, the refrigerator side seems to be working fine, the setting show be correct.
1 Answer Enrique, You will want to pull the rear wall off the freezer and check for the evaporator coil to see if it is frozen over. If so then you will want to check the defrost sensor to make sure that it is good. If faulty it would need to be replaced. The resistance of the sensor should be 5K ohms at room temperature.

Bruce June 13, 2014 for Model Number RS2533VQ Where is the Defrost thermostat located? I removed refrigerator back panel. I found the thermal fuse and the defrost temperature sensor on the coils but not the thermostat. The fuse goes in the first socket. The temperature sensor in the last socket.The heater and fan are on the back panel. Bruce for Model Number RS2533VQ Answer Hello Bruce. The thermostat is in the freezer not the refrigerator. Follow up question: Freezer works great. Refrigerator does not defrost. I've changed the Thermal fuse and the heater with no improvement. Does the freezer Defrost thermostat affect the refrigerator? if not what else would you suggest?
1 Answer Hello Bruce. The main board would be the culprit in this case. If the sensor fuse and heater are new. Read More...

Dave March 12, 2014 for Model Number Samsung RB215LASH/XAA My Samsung refrigerator seems to get stuck in defrost mode. Although the display shows the correct setpoint temperatures, both freezer and fridge sides are 30-40 degrees too warm. When I unplug the fridge and plug it back in, it seems to reset and both sides cool properly for about 12 hours until it gets stuck again. I understand that the display shows actual temps when it is cooling, but shows the setpoints when it is in defrost mode. After unplugging/plugging the fridge, the correct (warm) temperatures are displayed. What is causing this problem?
1 Answer Hello Dave. It sounds like the main control board DA41-00293A needs to be replaced on the unit. Read More...
Harry November 23, 2013 for Model Number Samsung RS2530bbp Refrigerator Hi, I bought defrost thermostat for this refrigerator. The thermostat is in a bubble bag. Is there a special way to install this thermostat. Does it need to contact the cooling coils or should i just place it near the coils....Help pls

Lee November 15, 2013 Samsung Model #RS2577SL The freezer quits freezing on the top half, but the bottom half is still frozen. On the refrigerator side, the bottom 2 drawers will freeze sometimes. Once I defrost the refrigerator completely it works fine for a couple months then I have to defrost again.
1 Answer Hello Lee. You need to check the fan motor in the unit. If it is good, replace the main board on the unit. Read More...
