Hi,
My Samsung RSG5UCRS has started tripping the RCD on the main house fuse box. Sometimes it lasts an hour, sometimes only a few mins. It was left off for 24hrs and then restarted – lasted 5 hours this time and then back to tripping off every few mins.
Having searched the forum it seems the defrost heater is a common fault on other Samsung models but I havn’t seen it mentioned on this specific model number – anyone know if this is a common fault?
Bit disappointing on a three year old model – thank god we’ve kept the old Candy one we bought 15 years ago as a spare – still going strong.
Cheers,
Mark
Re: Samsung RSG5UCRS – RCD tripping
Thanks for the reply Bob.
I ordered a replacement, and the repair was going well until I realised that the replacement part, while having an element which is mechanically identical, has different connectors. The original has two seperate single pin connectors, one which connects to a plug on the left hand side of the fridge, the other plug connecting into the right.
The new replacement however, has a single two pin connector, combining the two wires. One element is labelled as 321K, the other as 321F. Can I reuse the original connectors by fitting them to the new element?
Cheers,
Mark
