Samsung RS21NCMS Cold fridge warm freezer

[airconman]

Fridge temperature is maintaining 4-7C whilst the freezer only achieves minus 8C maximum. I have checked the evaporator fan motors- all working OK. No ice is forming on the freezer evap. Is this a problem with the Refrigerant R600a?

Hi

How old is this appliance ?. If under 2 yrs then Samsung will cover under warranty.

There may be a blockage but with R600a This is unussual as it does not normally cause restrictions unlike the R134a systems which was common place.

Hi Aircon

Then open the system changing the drier and do a good vac out and regas with R600a,Its possible that its blocked if there has been lack of ventilation.

I have never used R600a before, only have gear for R22, 407c, 410a can this be used? do i need to recover the gas? do i just weigh in the new gas or charge off manafold?

Hi

If you havent used R600a before then it is highly recommended that you have an engineer who is experienced with R600a carry out the work as R600a Is highly volatile if not treated with respect (Like Myself).
