Carl August 03, 2019 for Model Number RS2555SL/XAA The front door controls appear normal except that randomly as if a person was pressing the fridge side temp button the system is going through temp selections with beeps. Just like you were standing there pushing the button. It does this randomly for a while and stops, then does it again at its own choosing. The unit seems to be cooling on both sides just fine. None of the buttons will do anything when actually pressed. When I unplug the unit and wait 5-10 minutes and plug it back in, the display all lights up for a moment and then a "3" will appear. I do not get any other kind of display such as an "8" segment. I'm guessing that the "3" is telling me the Fridge Defrost Sensor is bad??? What part do I need and is this the one located in the lower back of my fridge side behind the panels? Thanks, Carl
1 Answer Carl, based on the information provided, the most likely issue is going to be with the dispenser control DA41-00204C. Unfortunately, the manufacturer has discontinued this part and it is no longer available. In regards to the defrost sensor, the refrigerator defrost sensor DA32-10105R is going to be located behind the evaporator cover panel and is normally on the right side of the evaporator.

Diane Klecka November 15, 2018 for Model Number RF4287HARS/XAA Serial I02043BD301873N My Samsung French door refrig has that problem of ice pooling up under the freezer basket. I've added the additional copper wire to the evaporator previously twice (more wire the second time), but it's been humid here and the problem has reappeared. The next time I go in to fix, I plan to have the additional parts with me and replace them whether necessary or not. So here's my question: does my refrig have both the defrost temp sensor and the thermal fuse? If so, then I will want to buy both. I also plan to buy the clip drain evaporator piece of aluminum to add to all the copper wire I've wrapped around the evaporator heating element. I have basically plan to throw the kitchen sink at this thing the next time "I go in." Wish me luck; I am tired of this thing's drain freezing up and pooling up ice. Again, please tell me if I can order both the defrost temp sensor and the thermal fuse, and I will be ordering that evaporator drain clip thingy. Lastly, is there anything else I can buy and strap on this thing? Please advise. And, yes, I will unplug the thing before "I go in." Thanks a bunch! Your videos ARE helpful.
1 Answer Diane, You will want to check the tube in the back of the unit to make sure that it is not clogged up as this could be what is causing this issue. The thermal fuse would not cause this issue but a faulty defrost sensor could cause it. Also check for air leak around the freezer door. Read More...
Tom Patella November 12, 2018 for Model Number RS277ACPN My freezer works fine but my refrigerator was making a noise and then a few days later it wasn't cooling. Called Samsung and they ran diagnosis and said everything was fine. Someone suggested that I turn off the refrigerator for couple days, I did and that resolved my problem. Now a month later, I am hearing that same loud noise again and am afraid my refrigerator won't cool again. I did notice some water on the very bottom ( inside of the refrigerator ). I had noticed the same last month as well. Is it the evaporator fan that I need or the temp sensor or the board or drain pipe or something else ? Thank you
1 Answer Tom, For the issue of the water under the crispers you will need to get a drain heater DA61-14306A and for the issue of the noise it sounds like there is moisture building around the fan and causing ice to build up and this would need to be cleared from around the fan. A drain that is clogged could potentially cause this type of issue. Read More...
Roselia August 09, 2018 for Model Number RH25H5000ww/aa freezer works fine but frig side wont get cool enough Changed the evaporator motor didn't change check I think it is the frig temp sensor? can you help
1 Answer Rosella, Just curious when you removed the back cover of your refrigerator was there ice built up in the lower area behind the cover.Problems with the unit draining has caused water to back up and block air flow.If you experienced this then you need part # DA97-04049D and its located behind refrigerator behind the rear cover.Your temp sensor part # is DA32-10109B and will need to be spliced in.

Latorya June 09, 2018 for Model Number rs25j500srAA 1year side by side Fridge and freezer not cooling. Lights and control panel works fine. Fridge has stopped making ice as well. Pulled it out from the wall and there is no dust on fan entrances. Very quiet. Please help!
1 Answer LaTorya, The more likely problem is the main control board on the back of the refrigerator DA92-00625D / DA92-00625D Assy Pcb MAIN;ICE&WATER, This control board distributes power to all the refrigerator components. it is the most likely problem at this point, based on your post description and information.

Wade May 05, 2018 for Model Number RS2530BBP Evaporator fan in Freezer works but it’s not coming on causing the refrigerator not to cook properly.
1 Answer Hello Wade, If the freezer fan does not come on you should check the harness and the control for issues. I'm sorry but this part DA41-00216A has been discontinued by the manufacturer and no satisfactory substitutions have been provided. Thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter.

Qym268 October 07, 2017 for Model Number RB193KASB Brain's message, the thermal fuse read 4.26K ohm, is that indicates the fuse is good? I got confused because I have been told "a good fuse will read close to 0.

1 Answer Hello Qym268. This is actually a thermal sensor called a thermal fuse by the manufacturer. It should read around 5k if good. Thanks. Read More...
Mr Engineer April 28, 2017 for Model Number RS2555SW I have a Samsung refrigerator RS2555SW with a problem I believe is related to the Thermosensor. The freezer compartment was packed full of ice and the refrigerator was displaying 56 degrees F. The fan inside of the refrigerator is loud and when I open the door the fan comes to a stop. After a while the refrigerator would go back to 38 degrees F. Only for a while then would repeat the cycle. I researched your site and found how to test for the error codes and found segment G, on the right side corresponding to error code 7. Now on the schematic it shows pins 9 (BRN) and 13 (WHT) on the defrost plug as the Thermofuse for both sides, Freezer and Refrigerator respectively AND pin 7 (ORG) for ground. I took the back panel off and verified the compressor fan was working. Referencing the schematic diagram CN70 pins 9 and 13 share a common ground. In a parallel resistor circuit with an open would create an infinite resistance on R2. Am I on the right course? Also if you could point out where the circuit board is located at would be very useful. Thanks a bunch
1 Answer Mr. Engineer, The control board on this unit would be located in the compressor compartment of the unit. If you pull the unit out and remove the lower panel on the right side is where the control will be located in a plastic box. You would want to test the thermofuse for continuity and if there is no continuity then it is faulty and would need replaced. Read More...
Karl M October 28, 2016 for Model Number RB2055SL My fridge uses thermal fuse #DA47-00095E. Over the years I've experienced several failures of this part. An on line video mentions that the manufacturer now recommends replacing this fuse with a protective device that is constructed with a bi-metal element. Can you provide a part number for this part?
1 Answer Karl, Unfortunately we do not show that this unit would have a protective device other than the thermal fuse that is on the unit. The manufacturer does not have any type of service flash showing a change to the design of the unit. Read More...
Sherri June 20, 2016 for Model Number RS2630SH Water leaking under refrigerator side and in bottom of freezer. Refrigerator side not cooling properly. A repairman said on a whirlpool they have what looks like a duck bill on the water line to keep it from doing this?
1 Answer Sherri, This issue would be caused by clogged drains. The samsung unit does not have duck bills and whirlpool has also gone away from that design. Read More...
