1 Answer David, To replace the main control board for this unit, you will need to pull the unit out from the wall and disconnect the power. Once the power is disconnected you will then remove the lower cover at the back of the unit. On the right hand side is where the control board should be located. You will need to remove the screws holding it in place and may be necessary to remove the water valve as well. You would then remove the cover over the control board and disconnect wiring and install new board. Read More...

Steve July 24, 2013 for Model Number Samsungrb215lash My fridge stopped making ice. I defrosted it and it worked again for a few days. Now it doesn't again. The temp of the freezer also won't go below 23. I've noticed a build up of water under the produce drawers in the fridge as well. Any ideas?
1 Answer Hello Steve. The evaporator assembly DA97-00192F will need to be replaced on the unit. You need an HVAC tech to do this repair. Read More...
Lucy July 20, 2013 for Model Number samsung rb195bsvq The majority of the items in the the refrigerator are freezing.(eggs, milk, juice, dog food) The digital readout on front of the unit it way off. 86 degrees for the fridge.;-2 for the freezer. The freezer is working fine. What do you suggest?
1 Answer Lucy, You will want to test the resistance of the refrigerator thermistor to make sure that it is within range. If the thermistor is not within range then it would need to be replaced. The resistance value of the thermistor at 37.4 degrees should be 11741 ohms, at 39.2 degrees it should be 11271 ohms. With the temp reading 86 degrees on the display then the resistance would show if correct 4218 ohms. You can test the sensor for the Refrigerator compartment by testing on the main control board connector CN30 from Pin 6 to pin 7 with the connector disconnected and check the connector. This will be a blue and brown wire next to each other. Read More...
Stanley F May 29, 2013 for Model Number RB215LASH I purchased a samsung refrigerator in 2006. I am having trouble with the refrigerator cooling. Freezer is cold. Set it to super cool and it the super cool light would turn off after an hour still would be warm. Noticed also the temp on the display was reading 34 degrees in the refrig. and the freezer was -2 which was good. The refrigerator definitely did not feel 34 unplugged the refrigerator compartment temp. Went up to 68 which what it felt like. Today I noticed the freezer getting warmer and the upper unit cooling a little. Could this be a main board issue?
1 Answer Stanley, You will want to check to make sure that the coils in either compartment are not impacted with ice. If so then the issue would either be bad defrost sensors or bad control board. Read More...
Angela Nc May 01, 2013 for Model Number RB215LABP HELP!! I replaced the main control unit and two sensors as per the suggestions on this site. However, the unit is still not getting COLD, it is getting cool but not cold enough to make ice or actually chill food. The internal temperature ratings are 40 degree fridge and 34 freezer. The external readings on door panels are 32/34 for both. Any suggestions of where to go next would be helpful. Thanks
1 Answer Hello Angela. Check and see if there is an even frost pattern on the coils in the freezer. If not, you will need to have an HVAC tech repair the sealed system on the unit. Read More...
Kenny April 18, 2013 for Model Number rb215lash my ice maker once i reset set it ,it fills for a second then stops and dosent fill again i changed the inlet valve,i brought the ice maker mech. thinking that it could be the circuit board in there no good , is this a main circuit board problem?
1 Answer Kenny, If the icemaker is not cycling then the problem may be the temperature inside the unit. Otherwise the control board would be the most likely cause of failure. Read More...
Angela Nc April 09, 2013 for Model Number RB215LABP Samsung My problem started when I noticed the ice maker was not working. Later in the day (or maybe next day) the fridge was not cool, then the freezer wasnt cooling. I was told to unplug it for 24 hrs and then plug back in and see what happened. I did this and all areas seemed to work fine for about a 4 days. Now the freezer is still cold readout is -2 and internal temp is about -8 and the fridge readout is 34 and internal temp is 40. Last night for several hours the internal temp was up tp 50. I was told that it was probably the main control that needed to be replaced. Is this the problem? or the correct part? Any information would be hlepful. Thank you in advance for a response.
1 Answer Angela, This issue does sound like the control board is at fault and will need to be replaced. Read More...
Lost March 29, 2013 for Model Number Rb215labp A new icemaker was installed it never started working. I could push reset it would fill and freeze but would not fill on its own. I unplugged to clean coil and when I plugged it back in it is displaying only two line on panel but is running, please help! Thanks.
1 Answer Lost, If the unit fills and freezes with but does not dump and refill with a new icemaker in the unit then the control board is not reading the thermistor of the icemaker to allow it to cycle. The control board would need to be replaced. Read More...
Paul October 02, 2012 for Model Number Samsung RB215LABP/XAA How to replace AP4137443 (Samsung DA-41-00293A)? After the physical install, are there things to "reset" because the refrigerator has to be unplugged to install this and concerned about status of existing electronics once powered off? Thanks.
1 Answer Hello Paul. Once you install the main board DA41-00293A and plug up the unit, it should be ready to go. If not, you may need to unplug the unit and plug it up again to reset the new control board on the unit. Read More...
