Eddie December 08, 2015 for Model Number RB215LABP The unit works fine for a few days maybe a week then the display panel starts to flicker on and off and both the fridge and freezer start to slowly get warmer until neither is working properly . Unplug it for 8 hours or so and plug it back in and the same pattern repeats itself . Im guessing its the control board and not the display causing the problem .
1 Answer Eddie, You would be correct in the control board is causing the unit to flicker and shut off which would require a new main control board DA41-00293A Read More...
Bill Webb June 20, 2015 for Model Number RB195DSSB The temperature display on the fridge compartment is very faint (38 degree set point). The display on the freezer is also very faint (-2 set point). Holding the top left and right buttons appears to do a 'reset' after lighting all the display segments and symbols. Many segments are faint during the reset. The symbols are fine. The buttons are fine. Do I have a likely bad display board or a likely bad control board? I suppose it depends on the location of the LED driver chip(s). Could it be a loose cable to the display board?
1 Answer Bill, With the display going dim you will need to replace the display board part number DA41-00264A. Read More...
Jim May 26, 2015 for Model Number RB215LASH Frig was freezing food. heater was out in the evaperator,replaced the refrigerator evaporator and fan. Now the refrigerator will only cool to about 45 degrees. Help!
1 Answer Jim, If you replaced the evaporator in the refrigerator compartment you will want to make sure that you put enough refrigerant charge back onto the unit. Also check the sensors to make sure that they are good. If the unit has correct charge and the sensors are ok then the issue will be a control board issue. Read More...
Kirk September 25, 2014 for Model Number RB195BSBB Had a service man come out to figure why my freezer stop working and the fridge works fine. He said that the display needed to be canged because the thermosit is not getting a good reading. I have Already changed the main control board. wouold the display have anything to do with the freezer not freezing???
1 Answer Kirk, The display would not have anything to do with the thermistor not reading properly. You will want to pull the rear wall in the freezer and check for whether the unit is defrosting. If the coils are impacted with ice then the issue would be a defrost issue in which the defrost sensor would be the most likely cause. It could also be the stepping valve which is located in the back of the unit and is near the compressor. Read More...
Jim September 05, 2014 for Model Number RB215BSSB The deep freeze mode keeps going on and off by it's self. Bad switch or bad display module?

Joe August 01, 2014 for Model Number RB215LASH/XAA A couple of weeks ago while out of town, lightning struck our house and did some damage to a couple television sets and other items. The PBA display on the refrigerator was showing odd lines and such. The refrigerator was running but would not shut off causing everything inside to freeze. would replacing the PBA fix this or would it be the main board?
1 Answer Hello Joe. If you test the thermistors and they test good, you will order and replace the main PCB in 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 Read More...
Angela July 18, 2014 for Model Number Samsung RP215LABP A repair man said that either our main board (which we have replaced twice through your site) or the front control panel is not working. The fridge/freezer both operate and keep food cold, make ice for about 3 weeks then the bottom freezer coils freeze up and need to be manually defrosted before it will make ice again. This has been an on going problem and NO repair man in our area will even touch this brand. Ok now for my question... if its the front control panel wouldn't the displays also be reading wrong or not operating correctly? We have also replaced the sensors. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
1 Answer Angela, For the type of issue that you are having with the coils freezing up would not have anything to do with the front control panel of the unit. The most likely causes for the issue would be a bad heater, bad defrost sensor or a faulty control board. With the control board and sensor already being replaced that would leave the heater as the most likely cause for failure. The heater of the evaporator is part of the evaporator and would have to get this to replace it. The part number is DA97-00192F. The heater is on the outer loop and can be removed from the evaporator and moved to the old evaporator without having to do a sealed system repair. Keep in mind you have to be extremely careful to not bend the refrigerant lines that come into the freezer. Read More...
Charlie March 29, 2014 for Model Number samsung rb195bssb The interactive display just has a couple lines light up on it. I was doing some reading and I think its the pba it seems to be ok on temp on both frige and freezer. The display buttons dont do anything.
1 Answer Charlie, In a lot of cases when the display only has lines on it the issue is most likely caused by either an error code or a faulty display board. You will want to look a the back of the unit as there will be a tech sheet glued to the back that will give information on error codes. If these lines do not correspond to a error code then the display board would most likely be the issue. Read More...
