Samsung fridge freezer SRL3616B led 5 flashing

[snig]

Customer complained of burning smell followed by dead appliance. Not very familiar with this model but can find no sign of damage. On turning on, compressor runs for 10 or20 secs then stops. led 5 is flashing. I assume this is a fault code but can’t find any info. Any help gratefully received

Maybe but i don’t think so, compressor runs well for a while and doesn’t appear to be cutting out on overload. Power beiing cut off at module. Thinking possibly module fault or more likely module reading fault code condition. Anyone know samsung fault codes ?

does the cooling fan on the compressor still run ?

cant find that model , but if it has a damper behind the evap cover ( to blow cold air up to the fridge ) , check this is operating freely – when power is established , it should rotate couple of times, if not, unit will shut down .( they can jam or just fail )

No cooling fan on compressor (from memory) but everything stops. There is a damper flap behind cover, i will call back and check but as it only runs for about 20 secs can i be sure it has had time to react?

The damper plate has a foam tape strip around the edge , and I have had this come adrift and jam the works before now, so might be quite a simple fix .
hope that helps

Hello,

I have just answred this in another post.

Common fault is the geared motor not aligning with magnet.

I don’t have the samsung part number to hand but here is an example Connect 5045172161123.

This fault will usually result in 5 LED flash. I would also recomend you replace the yellow evaporator thermistor,

Let me know how you go on?

Hope this helps?

Common fault is the geared motor not aligning with magnet.

Not quite sure what you mean by this? Called back to check, motor and flap tun freely on start up and stop in open position. evaporator sensor ( yellow one ) reads 6Kohms at room temperature which seems a bit low if its a normal ntc but i don’t know what it should read?
