Re: samsung SR44RMB broken?
Both sections are warm this morning and the compressor is not coming on.
r600a – you were correct.
This is on the back of the fridge:
Sorry for the poor picture, its the best my phone could manage.
I’m seeing no continuity between 7 and 1 on the CN01 connector which goes to the defrost heater so I think it is the thermal fuse that has blown.
Edit: I found the thermal fuse and it has not blown, however the heater is open circuit. I’m guessing that the heater is not replaceable without replacing the whole evaporator unit but it does not look like a DIY job – is this correct?

the fault will probably be within the defrost circuit.either the heater,sensor,overload.if when i goes into defrost mode approx every 8 hours the sensor doesnt reach +17oc then the unit wont switch back on.by switching off then back on will reset the board and start the count down again.

Thanks for the information. It has been on for about 7 hours now and the compressor has been coming on and off as normal. I’ll see how it is in the morning.

I’ve put it all back together and there is cold air being blown in both the freezer and fridge sections. It has been switched off for a while and the doors have been open so both sections are warm. I’m going to leave it on to see if it stops working after a while.
Re: samsung SR44RMB broken?
I’ve taken some of the insides out and got some more information:
The temperature sensor in the fridge part looks like its working – the resistance changes with temperature.
When turned on from the mains, the freezer part cools and its fan turns.
There is no ice blocking the air flow from the freezer to the fridge.
Can anyone help please?
