Bill B November 07, 2013 for Model Number Samsung rs257barb The refrigerator evaporator assembly. Is it accessable from the rear, or do I have to pull all the lower stuff out from the front of the unit. Also, will failure of the heater and a complete ice-over cause issues with the freezer, such as increase in freezer temperature? Thanks.
1 Answer Hello Bill. Yes, you have to access from the inside of the freezer. Also, excessive icing will cause the freezer to warm up. Read More...
Mark November 05, 2013 for Model Number SAMSUNG RF268ABWP I know the cooling fan is hitting ice that is built up behind the panel. I'd like to know what needs to be checked (please include what readings I should get) and then replaced. This problem has been on going for a couple years now and I just want to take care of it. Thank you for your help.
1 Answer Hello Mark. If the evaporator is freezing over, you will need an HVAC tech to replace the evaporator assembly in the unit to repair it. There is no need to test the parts if the coils are freezing over, the heater is bad. It is made into the coils. Read More...
Jeremy October 16, 2013 for Model Number Samsung RS267LABP The refrigerator section in not working. The freezer section works just fine. The refrigerator fan is not turning on even with the door switch closed. I checked for proper voltage at the main circuit board. I am getting 10 volts to the freezer fan, condenser fan, but not the refrigerator fan. I wired the refrigerator fan in parallel with the freezer fan at the circuit board and the refrigerator fan comes on. Do I need to replace the circuit board or is there a failed sensor somewhere that is not giving the circuit board the correct signal it needs to turn on the refrigerator fan?
1 Answer Jeremy, The fan motor will not work with the door open and the light switch will need to be in a closed state when checking the fan. If the fan is not getting power with the door switch in the closed position and the control board is sending power out to the fan then the issue would be the wiring from the fan to the control board.

Darnell August 17, 2013 for Model Number RS2530BB Samsung refrigerator new 2010 side by side. The unit worked for three years then started to make noise from the rear fan. Later it stopped freezing all at once. No cooling from refrigerator side or defrost. Compressor works evaporator coil cool at bottom of element. Never gets cool or makes ice.
1 Answer Darnell, You will want to check to see if the evaporator coil is building a light frost pattern on it or if it is a solid block of ice. If a solid block then the defrost circuit is faulty and you will need to check the defrost sensor and the defrost heater. If these check ok then the control board is faulty and would need to be replaced. If there is no frost on the coils then there is the potential for there to be either a restriction or leak in the sealed system. Read More...
Sam June 21, 2013 for Model Number RS2544SL I have a couple questions: 1) is the PA417999 the right part for the RS2544SL Samsung fridge. what is the DA# for this assembly? 2) My measurement of defrost heater resistance showed open circuit, as a result I wantt to replace the defrost heater only instead of the entire evaporator assembly; can I detach defrost heater from the new evaporator assembly? thanks
1 Answer Sam, Yes, part number DA96-00020Q is the correct part for your refrigerator. It is not recommended to detach the heater assembly from the new evaporator to attach to the old as this could damage the evaporator and cause a sealed system leak. Read More...
Mark May 24, 2013 for Model Number SAMSUNG RS2530BBP OK SO MY NEXT QUESTION IS WHAT SIZE METERING DEVICE IS IT (CAPILLARY TUBE),AND HOW LONG.AGAIN THANK YOU .
1 Answer Mark, We do not have an exact size of the cap tube but the cap tube cannot be replaced. The cap tube runs from the filter drier to the evaporator and carries the liquid refrigerant to the evaporator for the evaporation process. The cap tube also runs through the cabinet and is attached to the suction line. Read More...

Mark May 23, 2013 for Model Number samsung rs2530bbp If its not a check valve then what could it possible be?
1 Answer Hello Mark. If you have a restriction, you will need an HVAC tech to come out and install and new evaporator into the unit. Read More...
Mark May 23, 2013 for Model Number samsung rs2530bbp Does this system have a check valve at the evap?
Eddy N May 22, 2013 for Model Number RS267TDRS/XAA Hi, I have a Samsung fridge side by side RS267TDRS/XAA. The freezer side is working fine but the freezer side is not cooling. I have taken off the back panel and it was full of ice. I used a hairdryer to melt the ice but the ice keeps building up. I've also noticed that the temperature shows as if it was cooling, but its not. When I unplug and plug the fridge it shows me the true temperature. Is this what I need to get replaced? Please Help!
1 Answer Eddy, With the refrigerator side evaporator icing over you will want to check to make sure that the defrost heater and the defrost thermistor are not faulty. In most cases the defrost sensor is the cause of the problem and you would want to do a resistance check of the sensor to make sure that it is within range and not open. Read More...
