Questions & Answers

For Samsung Refrigerator Evaporator Fan Motor (Part Number: OEM12409638)

Francisco for Model Number Samsung RS257BARB refrigerator

I bought a used refrigerator for repair with no evaporator cover and no fan on the refrigerator side. It has 3 connectors: one green on left side and two connectors on the right side, could you tell me what are each connector for ? because I got a cover and fan assy from a similar fridge, that fits mine but it only has 2 connectors. I want to make sure to connect them in the right location. I couldn't find any information on the web about it. Thanks,

1 Answer

Francisco, two of the wires are for DC voltage in and out while the other is used to register the speed of the fan. It would be recommended that the manufacturer specified fan motor DA31-00146B.

Elle for Model Number Samsung RS2556SH

The refrigerator temperature began to rise three months ago and would not drop below 59. I have replaced the Defrost sensor. It worked well for 2 months, and the temp began to creep up. I next replaced the thermistor and the door switch (it began to malfunciton some time ago). The refrigerator runs fine for a month or so and then the temperature begins to creep. I just had to defrost it again Sunday. I ran the code for the electronic diagnostics and the result was error with refrigerator defrost. (what a shock...) Is there any thing else I should look at? I purchased the refrigerator in 2004 and it still looks new.

Elle, If the same sensor is failing each time it would be best to look at the control board being the issue with the unit.

Brent for Model Number Samsung RS265TDRS

Had problem with refrigerator side about 6 months ago with fan icing up, fan was making a loud noise. following advice here I was able to defrost with hair drier and problem was solved. Now I am having problem with freezer side, after taking off pannels... top coil and copper tubes running to coils is frozen/Ice covered but rest of coils are not. After defrosting with hair drier again I get same problem after turning back on. Freezer shows temp is -20 but will not freeze a popsicle (or anything) leaving overnight. it is a little colder than refrigerator side (which is working fine now) but not much. do you think its a fan issue, thermostat, something plugged in line, OR something else :)

1 Answer

Brent, Based on your description, you have a restriction in the freezer evaporator coil. The frost and ice on the top coils is where the refrigerant is or has flowed, the rest of the coils that aren't frosted or iced is where the refrigerant isn't flowing, due to the clog in the system. You'll need a licensed/certified refrigeration technician out to see if he can clear the clog and/or replace the evaporator coil.

Hello Ralph. You will need to order DA31-00146H for the fan motor needed. As for the ice issue, you will need to look for a defrost issue. Check the Bi Metal DA47-00243K and the heater DA47-00424B inside the unit. If both are good, then you will need to replace the main board on the unit. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html

Hello Rob, This will have a large impact on temperatures inside the unit since there is such a vast difference in RPM between the two motors. The current draw will be different enough it could impact the on-board electronics. Since they are both in stock items, there should be no difference between ordering one or the other as far the delivery date is concerned.

AB, You will want to test the sensors in the refrigerator section. The thermistors should have a resistance of 5K ohms at room temp. If they are off then they will need to be replaced.
