Hi
My Samsung Fridge Freeze has stopped dispensing water. The Ice maker is working fine with Ice being made perfectly.
I’ve replaced the valve at the back of the fridge with a new part, in case it was that, but its not made any different. I’ve checked the water pressure coming out of the filter (external to the fridge) and its strong.
I’ve had the front fasia off – and removed the Microswitch. There is no continuity until the switch is pressed (checked with multi-meter) and there is 4.5v going to the switch. I can hear the fridge calling for water when its depressed but no water is dispensed.
The child lock isn’t on.
Where do I look next?
I’ve had a fridge repair man visit twice now – the reservoir isn’t freezing, apparently its the pipe going from that to (eventually) the water dispenser. He’s replaced the pipe (worked, but only for 24 hours), and then he’s thawed it and added more insulation, and its not frozen again (and leaking).
Any ideas? We’ changed nothing on the fridge other than this and i’m not sure why the pipe would now start freezing. THe ice and water are on their lowest settings.
Fridge man doesn’t know – did mumble that it might be the breakdown in insulation inside the fridge, but without flipping it (not easy!) I can see underneath and have no schematics. All other fridge functions are normal.
Samsungs response was – heres a 25{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} voucher off a new one! I said I’d like to fix this and not commission it to waste! Not withstanding the £1500-2000 price tag.
Fridge model is RH56J6917SL.
All ideas welcome.
