Re: Samsung (side by side) Fridge Freezer RS20CCMS

Can anyone assist on this one? If you’re based in Birmingham I would be interested in understanding if you think it is repairable and if you would be able to come and have a look at it?

Re: Samsung (side by side) Fridge Freezer RS20CCMS

Thanks melec for your input. I have swapped the defrost sensor and thermal fuse, despite the old ones testing ok (I had ordered them so I put them in). I am still having an issue with it icing up every 3-4 weeks.

On defrosting it again today I checked the thermal fuse which was fine, I tested the defrost sensor side by side with the old one in a glass of iced water and there was consistency in the readings.

The drain heater had a resistance of 0.44 kOhms and the main heater 0.21 kOhms.

Can anyone confirm if these resistances sound about right or if they point to a faulty component?

I am based in Birmingham so if anyone feels they have the magic touch and can sort this unit out please get in touch with me. I’m getting close to taking it on a little journey to the recycling centre!

Today the freezer temperature started to climb so I removed the rear panel and it would appear it has reverted to it’s old ways. The whole back was frozen solid.

Does anyone have any recommendations? Defrost sensor and thermal fuse again??
