Daniel H Oakley , CA November 05, 2016 Appliance: Samsung Refrigerator RF263BEAESR/AA-0000 Temperature read on display was higher than it really was inside the frigerator and it froze the food inside the frigerator it constantly ran because the temp sensor broke Poped off plastics caseing inside the frigerator. Unscrewed 4 screws holding black fan inplace. Followed yellow wire to locate white sensor. Need to be careful not to break styrofoam, don't force it, it should seporate from plastic easy as long as the 4 screws are out. Swap it for the new one and button it back up. While I was in there I replaced the defrost sensor and the other sensor next to the heating rod. Also I know there is an issue with drain hole plugging up with ice so I extended the metal tab deeper into the hole. Now the frig works great. The web page made it easy to navigate through the diagram to find the part in my frig.

Jerry B Elkin , NC September 08, 2019 My refrigerator would not cool. The ice maker kept freezing up and so did the fan in back of the fridge. Let the refrigerator defrost over night, plus used a hair dryer to speed up the process. Removed back panel on inside (twin cooling on it ) along with Styrofoam insulation, careful here must unplug wires .Replace temp sensor between panel and insulation. Next replace sensor at the back of the fridge located on evaporator coil tube, next was to replace drain tube defroster ( must remove factory one by drilling out rivet) careful not to damage evap coil replace with new one which looks a little different. It is wider and longer to retain more heat to keep drain tube from freezing up.
