Alicia December 08, 2013 for Model Number RB215LASH My RB215LASH fridge keeps icing up, how do I know which temp censor needs to be replaced - there seem to be 3 different ones in the fridge. (I displayed the error code by pushing the two top buttons for 8 sec, the middle horizontal bar in the right digit place is lit for both the fridge and the freezer)
1 Answer Hello Alicia. It sounds like the unit is not defrosting. With Samsung, if the heater is out, it is an HVAC repair and you will need a technician. They make the heaters into the evaporator assembly. Read More...
Jose October 14, 2013 for Model Number RM255LASH I Have a Samsung Quatro 4 door refrigerator. Everything is working except for the Top Left freezer Compartment, which is about 20 degrees F and the ice tray is not releasing the ice into the bucket. It does not matter at what temperature (eg. -2F to -14F or Power freeze) I set the top left freezer it won't only reach 15 degrees F max! It is my understanding that the ice tray won't empty into the bucket until the freezer reaches a temperature of 10 degrees F or Lower. I have replaced the following items: Main PCB Board part Number DA41-00318A (purchased it from this site) Defrost Bimetalic Thermostat switch which is located on the side of the freezer coil (P/N DA47-00133E) Is this Thermostat switch supposed to read continuity (0 ohms) at ambient temperature of 80 degrees F? I was thinking replacing the Temp sensor or thermistor which is located on the freezer coil upper part. What do you think? What I should do next? Please help me with your advise. Thank you very much, I sincerely appreciate it! Jose
1 Answer Hello Jose. Best to check the fan and airflow for the compartment. This is the main reason for the issues you are having. Read More...
Juanita September 13, 2013 for Model Number RB1944SL1XAA The refrigerator stopped cooling properly. The temperature reading on the exterior door is 53 degrees. We have a thermometer inside the refrigerator that reads about 61 degrees. Is it just a sensor that needs to be replaced? Or which parts do I need? The number I have listed is what is on the refrigerator door. The manual says RB1944SL. Which number do I use to look up parts?
1 Answer Juanita, You will want to pull the rear cover inside the refrigerator compartment and check to make sure that the coils are not impacted with ice and not allowing proper airflow. If they are impacted with ice then you will want to test the defrost thermistor (which in a lot of cases is the issue) and check the defrost heater. You will use model number RB1944SL to look up the parts. Read More...
Jon September 12, 2013 for Model Number Samsung RS267LASH refrigerator The evaporator coils on the refrigerator side of my RS267LASH are freezing up. I have tested the heater and it is giving me an ohm rating of ~100, which I believe is correct. I think that the thermistor attached to the refrigerator evaporator coils needs to be replaced. In the service manual, it lists the evaporator thermistor part # as DA32-00006B. On your site, you list the DA32-00006W as the replacement part for the DA32-00006B. But, your site says that DA32-00006W is not compatible with the RS267LASH...so could you please point me to the right part? On a semi-related note, is there a way to get the refrigerator section to shut off while the freezer section continues to run until I can fix this beast? Thanks!
1 Answer Hello Jon. DA32-10105R is the correct part. You can not just shut down the refrigerator side. You must turn off the whole unit. Read More...
Dan August 16, 2013 for Model Number nonfrost rs model I would like to ask the resistance of sensor when we pull it out from the unit.
1 Answer Hello Dan. At room temperature(75 dgrs F.), your thermistor should read 5.1k ohms. Read More...
Paul July 08, 2013 for Model Number RB215LABP Samsung RB215LABP I have replaced back panel in frige came complete with fan...its now doing samething again freezing up I dont think its main panel but the frost free sensor...help please
1 Answer Hello Paul. It sounds like the heater is bad and the evaporator assembly DA96-00017G will need to be replaced. This is an HVAC repair and takes an HVAC tech to do the repair to the unit. Read More...
Russell July 07, 2013 for Model Number samsung rm255labp Top freezer is not freezing, bottom drawer is working, coils are clean and not frozen. took cover off and top coils weren't cold but bottom cold were. Would the thermister cause this?? Thanks for any suggestions
1 Answer Hello Russell. Not usually. This sounds like a sealed system issue due to the coils in junction with each other in the freezer. Read More...
Coolhandluke June 26, 2013 for Model Number RB215LASH I have the usual Samsung problem of refrigerator coils icing over making refrigerator compartment heat up. I found the schematic and the parts #6 and #7 but can't readily determine how/where they fit the evaporator coil. I would try to test them to see if they are 'fooling' the mother board into thinking the coil is defrosted when it isn't it..............can you tell me how to do that? Even if I can't test those parts it would be a very small amount of money to risk just to replace them and hope that cures the problem. Any thoughts and help you can provide would be appreciated!
1 Answer Hello Coolhandluke. You can test those. They should show a resistance on a meter. If they are good, usually the fix for this issue is evaporator replacement DA96-00017G. 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...
Mario June 03, 2013 for Model Number RF4287HARS Hi! The freezer unit for this refrigerator stopped working but the top part is still working. I cleaned all the dust from the back and behind the cover, still no luck. Could it be that the temperature sensor is shot? The fans in the freezer section does not come on. Please advise. Thank you. MARIO.
1 Answer Mario, You will want to pull the rear cover of the freezer compartment and check to see if the evaporator coils are frozen. If impacted with ice then you will want to check the defrost sensor and the heater to make sure that they are ok. Read More...
