actually i’m just getting over the sight of geoff’s legs from last september 😆
cheers.
Re: samsung RS21DCSV
hello anand, with respect, it would seem a little foolish to replace a part without testing it and without the proper test equipment and know-how, it would be impossible to test if the drip tray heater was faulty or not.
if you’ve got ice around the fan area of this fridge, then it’s highly likely that the back panel you’ve taken off is at fault.
that said, you could also have problems with one or more of the defrost components too.
you’ve paid good money for this appliance, why not pay a little more, call out an engineer and get it repaired professionally?
cheers.
Re: Maytag Sovereign M2260iSSB
it’s more than likely that the evaporator drain hole is blocked, so that when the evaporator defrosts, the water that is the product of the defrost, comes into the cabinet and then out through the door and on to the floor. this would happen 3 times in a 24hr period.
cheers.
Re: Maytag Sovereign M2260iSSB
is the inside floor of your freezer iced up?
ie. is there ice on the bottom of your freezer, inside the cabinet?
cheers.
Re: Maytag Sovereign M2260iSSB
where does the leak appear, i mean which side?
is the bottom inside of your freezer iced up?
cheers.
Re: Replacing the element on an NARDI FE0614
it’s possible to replace the fan oven element on this one from inside the cavity.
Re: Samsung SR-S2028CVW needs switching off to restart
check the evaporator heater isn’t o/c, the test sequence wouldn’t indicate this nor would it if the thermal fuse was o/c
briefly the test sequence is to hold the left and right top buttons in for about 8 seconds, or alternatively turn the unit off at the wall, this automatically puts it into test mode.
if the appliance detects a fault, then segments of the numerals are lit up, according to the particular fault.a word of caution when checking the evap heater, make sure you disconnect it from the tray heater via the plug, otherwise you’ll get a false reading.
cheers.
Re: Samsung SR-S2028CVW needs switching off to restart
probably a time out fault, indicating that the defrost wasn’t completed within a particular time (80 mins i think)
check all the defrost components, starting with the fridge cabinet.
parts available from isdal.Re: samsung rs21dgrs1/xeu
hi machineman, i presume you’re talking about the fridge section icing up?
the defrost sensor part no is DA32-00006B
thermal fuse is DA47-10148Jhave you checked the thermal fuse for continuity? have you checked the defrost heater?
cheers.
Re: Mistral- compressor not starting
hello bob, i haven’t seen one of these in ages, so i’m not the person best qualified to help you.
however, if you’re talking about the defrost termination stat(s), you should have continuity when the evaporator is down to temp and very high resistance, typically 250k ohms at room temp.
these shouldn’t affect the compressor and condensor fan though.
also if you misplaced the wire from the toc, then that shouldn’t really affect the compressor, just the defrost cycle.
i am willing to bet that of all the pcb’s ordered for the mistral, about 30{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} were the correct diagnosis!
it looks like it’s engineer time, although we all hate coming in at the wrong end of the job.
with all due respect, we wouldn’t really know what faults have been built in to the appliance now.Re: Mistral- compressor not starting
bob, from memory, these fridges don’t just start up straight away from power up.
the board will do a series of checks and possibly a defrost cycle, give it a few minutes.
if it still wont start, then it’s likely you’ve dislodged a connector or you’ve got a loose connection somewhere.
before ringing hotpoint, try the repairs @ feature on this site.
cheers.Re: fault – Side by Side Fridge-Freezer Model RS21FGRS Samsu
help me, as bryan has said, the fault lies somewhere in the defrost circuit.
the evaporator is frozen up, this proves this.
the evaporator needs to be free from ice to provide the airflow upon which the fridge is dependant.
a temporary fix would be to completely defrost.
you would need the back panel in place to channel the airflow.
it really does sound like you need an engineer.
cheers.
Re: Liebherr KGNv 3846 – Freezer too warm and black gunk
it’s possible then that your drain hole was blocked up, causing the ice build up.
the black gunk is nothing to worry about.
it’s just an anti vibration material put on the external pipework of the appliance.Re: Liebherr KGNv 3846 – Freezer too warm and black gunk
hello raymong, the black gunk has nothing at all to do with your problem.
is the fan in the freezer running?
if so and you’ve defrosted it for a day, it’s probably the evaporator drain hole that’s become blocked, not allowing the water that is the product of the defrost cycle to get away. this then becomes a big solid block of ice that would take more than a day to defrost on it’s own.
this block of ice cloggs up the airflow, making the freezer section a lot warmer.
to alleviate the problem temporarily, defrost for a longer period. however, it does sound like you need an engineer, as the problem could possibly lie in a few other areas.
cheers.
