Re: Samsung SR-S20

Hi, Yes, I too had this problem and eventually had to bite the bullet and get an engineer out to my fridge. It cost me £65.00 a couple of years ago for him to come out, free off the ice around the recirculation fan, and put it all back together.
He claimed that this problem was unusual (not according to this forum), and was caused by a small piece of electrical insulation falling onto the evaporator. “Now I’ve cleaned that off you won’t get any more problems” he claimed.
3 months later, I had a frozen bottom shelf, and a warm top shelf ’cause it had happened again. 😡
I’d seen how he got the covers off last time, so I rfemoved the panels with the help of my wallpaper steamer to free off the ice, I was able to un-stick the fan again.
The problem reoccurred, and I too tried switching to ‘vacation’, but this didn’t stop the refrigerator.
Eventually, I emptied both the fridge & freezer and switched the appliance off for one week (with the doors open) whilst on holiday. This was 9 months ago, and so far everything is OK with that problem. 😀

Now I have a problem where the freezer section temperature display shows -26 degrees, but the temperature inside is much warmer. Turning the power off & on again re-sets things, and it freezes again, but once cold and the compressor turns off, the display remains at maximum cold as the freezer warms up again, and the refrigeration doesn’t re-start.
I’ve tried swapping the temperature sensors from ‘fridge to freezer, but this hasn’t helped.
Please has anyone any sugestions? THe official engineers want £60.00 call out fee, this covers the initial 15 minutes, with subsequent 15 minute’s being charged at £20.00 a time. So at £80.00 per hour, plus parts, I think this could work out expensive! 😡
