Re: Samsung SR L3216B Problem

When the unit is working properly it displays a row of led’s for temperature, 1 lit = warmest – all 5 lit = coolest.

I have only the 3rd led lit (instead of the first 3 led’s) – pretty sure this is an error code!

I have had time this weekend to test all the parts:

if the heater is at fault I can see no war of removing it without unsoldering the evaperator as it is a metal tube type and runs all around the evap frame (front, back, bottom).
I have a pair of red wires that go down the drain hole (possibly to timer ?) : 2KR

I have a pair of blue wires to a sensor (20mm x 5mm), cable tied to the evaperator : 60KR when at normal running temp & open circuit at room temp.

I have 400R at the heater terminals.

I have a cylindrical package about 75mm long x 8mm thick, wrapped in foil and then styrene foam – it is located at the side of the evaperator/heater assembly and is wired in series with the heater : open circuit at all temps.

…….I assume the heater is OK at 400R and suspect the unknown unit mounted to the E/H assembly since it is wired in series!
….any ideas

Many thanks

Re: Samsung SR L3216B Problem

Many thanks Bryan,

Sorry to be a pain, but in this hot weather, being without a fridge/freezer for any length of time is a real problem as you will agree.

Is there any test I can perform to check the heater before ordering a replacement part?

Where is the defrost heater? and where does it conect?

Do you have a list of the error codes?

Many thanks
